A downloadable game

Two robbers are out to make $250,000 before the other one can.  Avoid the robots, police cars and each other.

Two players, one keyboard.

20 years ago I started on a remake of the Acorn Electron game Swag! one of my favourites from my bedroom gaming years. I can still hear the screech of the tape loading in (and the occasional swearing as it failed to load). So many fights started with my brother over this.

After many stalled attempts in various languages I've now finally completed the remake to a standard that I'm happy with and one that hopefully doesn't totally embarrass myself if by some magic Dave Herbert randomly comes across it.

I've tried to keep it as close to the original as I can do.  The only change I've made is a turbo mode for those wanting to live on the edge.

Enjoy!
