Описание:
NARC— это классическая аркадная игра, выпущенная в 1990 году компанией Ocean Software Ltd. Игроки погружаются в опасный мир преступности и коррупции, где им предстоит проникнуть в печально известную корпорацию мистера Бига. Вооруженные разнообразными оружиями и скоростным автомобилем, игроки проходят через различные уровни, каждый из которых полон уникальных испытаний и врагов.
Игра разворачивается в городской среде, включая такие локации, как свалки, метро и нарколаборатории. Игроки должны пробиваться через эти зоны, арестовывая преступников и собирая предметы, такие как деньги и наркотики, для получения бонусных очков. Главная цель — разрушить преступную империю, победив печально известного мистера Бига.
Каждый уровень предлагает различные препятствия, от психопатических клоунов до злобных собак, требуя от игроков стратегического мышления и быстрой реакции. Игра известна своим интенсивным игровым процессом и необходимостью эффективно управлять ресурсами, такими как патроны и ракеты.
Разработанная для платформ, таких как Commodore и Spectrum, NARC демонстрирует впечатляющую графику и звук для своего времени, с участием Шона МакКлюра и Sound Images. Игра остается запоминающимся опытом для поклонников жанра экшен.

SCENARIO
NARC - now you have a chance to infiltrate the MR BIG CORPORATION, the
scourge of the underworld. Outwit the army of body guards, gangs of charisma-
bypass patients in trench coats, the bullet-brain with the build of a
rhinoceros and the breath of a dung beetle, packs of vicious canine yappies,
the psychotic clown with the evil sense of humour - you'll die, but not
laughing!
But it's not all bad! You've got a mean shiny street machine, some heavy
metal hardware and pretty neat moves. Hit the enemy - and, finally, come up
against the baddest, the biggest - Mr Big!

GAMEPLAY
LEVEL 1
Fight your way through the junkyard and arrest as many of the enemy as
possible for bonus points. Collect bullets dropped by the enemy to obtain
rapid fire. Then locate the door which will take your through the pipeline.
LEVEL 2
You are inside a subway station. Watch out for Coatmen coming out of the
train doors and try to arrest them. Locate the red safe card to return to
the junkyard.
LEVEL 3
Having successfully negotiated the subway you return to the junkyard where
you must seize cash, drugs, bullets and missiles, arresting people where
possible. A bonus will be awarded for all arrests achieved and for drugs and
cash collected.
LEVEL 4
Krak Street - you are en-route to the evil drug cartel HQ. Here you will meet
Spike Rush who throws hypodermic needles at you - if they hit you they will
inject you with drugs and you will lose strength. You must find your way to
the Krak Stop drugs lab.
LEVEL 5
You are inside the drugs lab where the Krak is made. The lab is full of vials
and beakers which you can destroy with missiles for bonus points. Vicious
dogs will block your path and attack you. Find the blue safe card to exit
from the lab.
LEVEL 6
Outside the lab you will find yourself on a bridge where you will meet Joe
Rockhead the drug addict. You cannot arrest him, so you must blast him
before he gets near you. Make your way across the bridge - you can jump into
passing cars and drive them to cross more quickly.
LEVEL 7
Once across the bridge you are back on the streets of Sunset Strip. Kinky
Pinky the mad knifeman appears here. He will attempt to kidnap the female
escorts. You need to blast Kinky in order to protect the escorts as you move
though this level. There are five exit doors from this level. One is locked
and will require a silver safe card and the other four lead to four sub-
levels. These are called The Kennals, Kinky's Big Top, The Swamp and The
Scrapheap. One of the sub-levels contains the silver safe card you need but
you will have to find out which one.
LEVEL 8
You are outside the nursery where Skyhigh grows his drugs. Blast your way
through the gunmen to get to the entrance of the nursery.
LEVEL 9
Fight your way through the gunmen and Joe Rockhead and you move through the
greenhouse. Collect the illegal drug plants for an extra bonus but watch
out - some of them are booby trapped. Make sure you blast the gunmen as one
of them will be carrying the green safe card to exit the nursery.
LEVEL 10
Back on the streets you must make your way through downtown towards the
headquarters of Mr Big's evil organisation KRAK. When you reach the building
and enter you will have to fight through the headquarters to reach Mr Big.
LEVEL 11
Once inside Mr Big's office he will attack you in his wheelchair. When you
finally manage to overcome him he will leave a gold safe card.
LEVEL 12
Mr Big, having recovered from your attack, is now really angry! You will need
all of your skill and a good supply of missiles to finally defeat him. He
will then drop another gold card. You can use this to enter a special bonus
level.
STATUS PANEL
The Status Panel displays: drugs seized, cash seized, criminals busted,
number of bullets and missiles, score, lives remaining (depicted by helmets),
safe cards collected, score required for extra life and scanner showing
sector and position of enemy.
HINTS AND TIPS
* At the start of the game bust as many people as possible as this will
bring you points.
* Cash and drugs are worth collecting for points, but bullets and missiles
are more important as they will help you survive.
If your bullet counter drops to one you will only be able to fire one
bullet at a time. Collect more bullets and you can use rapid fire.
* Keep moving at all times to stop the baddies getting you in their line of
sight.
* Try to save your missiles for later in the game - you will need them.
