Yah, in the 2 instances where I was paying attention, one was a bank robber & one was a munchkin with a present...

Yeah, the bad guy is not necessarily the next in line on the indicated door, but if you don't attend that door quickly, money will be stolen there.

What I don't get is something that happens on a late stage, sometimes one of the girls shows some leg in some kind of can-can move. Generally at that stage things are too frantic to pay a lot of attention. I don't know if it's just supposed to be funny or if it's some kind of "bonus" (like the tied up guy who gives you three sacks of money if you set him free... and incidentally usually appears when there is a bomb ticking)

Anyway, great game. I used to play it on my MSX a long time ago and it was a great surprise to rediscover it when I started using MAME.

I don't know how you guys get so high...I can't even get the 70K free man score! I also had one of jasonbar's frustrations...a bomb ticking on door 10 and couldn't get over there because people kept coming in to deposit their money.

jasonbar:

When people are coming to the doors nonstop, hold the joystick to one side or the other--as soon as there's a break in the customers, you'll start moving, & hold the stick till you arrive at your door of choice--people can't stop you from scrolling.  You *shouldn't* have this problem till the higher levels, generally...just concentrate on getting all your deposits at each window--that's your primary goal.
