Description
$wag is a 2-player arcade game for multiple systems.
Set in Hazard County, two players battle to steal £250,000 from the bank before their opponent does. Police robots named Henry and Percy appear on the screen. Henry only chases Player 1, Percy only chases Player 2. If a droid is shot, it switches names. Picking up a DH on the screen reverses all droids.
Diamonds appear on the screen, each worth £10,000 if the player returns them to their hideout before being caught by police robots. Gold can be picked up and brought to the bank for ammo. If a player touches a police car, their opponent receives money. If a police car is shot it chases the player until they find a can of Herbert brew and shoot the police car again. Stepping on a smiley face will send the opponent back to their hideout.
