Contact Sam Cruise
It’s Whodunit time in this licensed arcade adventure starring Sam Cruise. As
Sam you must collect the clues by walking over them, with the hope of finding
the killer. Money is an issue as well, as more can be collected, but it will
be needed as the game goes on.
The city is awash with Gangsters, and neither they nor the police are happy
with your methods or motives. Gangster bullets should be avoided if possible,
as you only have the medical kits to repair the damage from 8 shots –
fortunately a plethora of evasive moves are offered including rolls and
somersaults. The police can be evaded by wearing disguises.
Many buildings can be entered and explored for clues, but leaving the lights
on can alert people to your presence. Telephone calls play a big part in the
game – initially you only have the number for your office, but this is a
potential goldmine of clues, and more numbers can be obtained in a manner
similar to Hacker.
