Description

Thief is a Pac-Man variant where ghosts and gobblers have been replaced by cars. The player controls the car of the thief and is pursued by a number of police cars. The aim of the game is to collect all the dollar bills that lie scattered around the maze. Upon doing so, the level is completed and the player gets to move on to the next. Additionally there are a number of golden dollar signs which work like the energizers in Pac-Man. After picking one up, the player is allowed to go after the police cars and knock them out.

There are sixteen levels in total. The first eight ones have unique maze layouts while level nine to sixteen repeat the same mazes but at a higher pace. After the sixteenth level has been completed, it starts repeating from level nine. After each level has been cleared, the player gets a new crime title, from loitering to public enemy #1.
