Published by 20th Century Fox Games in 1983, it puts the player behind the wheel of a car that has to rob banks and escape the police through a maze of streets that can be dug through to open shortcuts, an unusual mechanic that brings it closer to a pocket-sized real-time strategy game than to a simple chase. The tension comes from managing your time before police reinforcements arrive.
It's one of the titles from the wave of "high-concept games" Fox produced for the 2600 in its golden years, and today it's appreciated for that uncommon top-down twist within the console's catalog of chase games.
