Too far ahead of its time to be fun, even with the simplified procedures Kasey Chang (3695) unrated

Trivia

One of the key characters in the game is the corrupt, arrogant and pompous mayor of the city where the game takes place (LA). The designer of the game, Chief Daryl F. Gates, was forced to leave his post of LAPD chief after rows and clashes with the Mayor of Los Angeles at the time of the infamous riots. Of course, it's probably just an innocent coincidence. :)
