A.B. Cop (Japan, FD1094 317-0169b decrypted) [Bootleg] Overview
This is a bootleg version of A.B. Cop, a futuristic 3D racing arcade game originally released by Sega in 1990 for arcades, exclusively in Japan. The decrypted rom allows emulation on hardware that might otherwise be restricted by Sega's FD1094 security chip. So it's a bootleg - an unauthorized copy that bypasses copy protection, but the underlying game is an official Sega title.
In A.B. Cop, players take the role of a futuristic police officer piloting a high-speed pursuit vehicle through neon-lit city streets. The goal is to chase down and apprehend speeding criminals by ramming their cars or forcing them to crash. The game uses a third-person perspective and emphasizes speed and aggressive driving. Control is typical for an arcade racer of the era - accelerate, brake, steer, and a special attack or boost button.
For retro racing fans, A.B. Cop offers a solid dose of early 90s arcade action that never made it to home consoles. Its bootleg status means the rom is more accessible for emulation, but the game itself is a straightforward, no-nonsense racer with a simple premise. It's not as deep or polished as Sega's other racing titles like OutRun, but it has its own charm with a cyberpunk cop aesthetic that stands out.
How to Play A.B. Cop (Japan, FD1094 317-0169b decrypted) [Bootleg] Online
Getting Started
To begin, add a credit by pressing the key mapped to Coin (usually 5 by default in EmulatorJS) and then press Enter to start. The title screen is in Japanese, but you can simply press Start to jump into the action. There is a brief attract mode loop before the game starts.
Once the race begins, hold S (B button) to accelerate and use the Arrow Keys to steer your police car. Your objective is to chase down a criminal vehicle that appears ahead. The HUD shows a timer and possibly a speedometer. Ram the target car repeatedly or use the special attack (likely X or A button) to disable it. Each successful arrest ends the level and moves you to the next stage with a new target and a tighter time limit.
If your car takes too much damage or the timer runs out, you lose a life. The game ends when all lives are lost. There is no continue option in the arcade original, so each credit is a single run. Practice steering at high speeds and learn when to use the boost or attack to finish each chase efficiently.
