Domark's second bite at A conversion of the James Bond cherryhit 1987 arcade coin-op, 'The Living Daylights' APB is very loosely based on the events a fast and fun precursor of the movie Grand Theft Auto series - the major difference being that you are on the side of the same namelaw.

After Bond helps Russian officer Georgi Koskov make a daring defection to APB - All Points Bulletin. Put your foot on the West, gas and let rip as you roar through the intelligence community is shocked when Koskov is abducted from his remote hiding place. Bond leaps into action, following a trail that leads to streets of the gorgeous Kara, who plays Bond as easily as she plays her Stradivari cello. As they unravel a complex weapons scheme with global implications, they are forced into hair-raising chases, a riveting jailbreak and an epic battle city in the Afghanistan desert with tanks, airplanes and a legion series of freedom fighters on horsebackhilarious and wild car chases.

The You play the role of Officer Bob, a tough Cop in this challenging cartoon-style game takes place , whose job is to patrol the streets of the city and apprehend variouscriminals in your trusty Police Car. Each day you are given a quota of offenders who must be apprehended before the day is out in order to get a salary bonus and keep your job. These include litter louts, drunks and hitch-hikers. At times you'll receive an All Points Bulletin on a particularly dangerous villain who must be tracked down and arrested. Should you catch Sid Sniper, Freddy Freak or any of the other master criminals, you must return them to the station for 'questioning'. If they confess, you can forget about your quota for the rest of the day. However, wringing a confession out of them is not that easy, and you must be through before the Chief comes in. Waggle the joystick left and right as quickly as you can - a grid shows how fast you're going and how close the criminal is to confessing. To arrest an offender, you must position the Steering Wheel Cursor over eight levelstheir car and switch on the siren. Continue to hold down the fire button for as long as you need the siren. Some criminals may ignore you the first few times you signal them to stop, each depicting different scenes depending on the severity of their crime. As the game progresses you can obtain a gun and locations from shoot their cars; but don't hit any innocent bystanders. APB offenders must be rammed off the movieroad and will not give themselves up without a fight. If you collide with a vehicle while the siren is off, crash too hard or injure an innocent party, you'll get a Demerit point. You'll also get a Demerit forevery offender you do not catch on your quota. Collect too many Demerits and you'll be fired.

Although felt to be an improvement on The multi-load aspect of the tape version of APB brought the previous James Bond game and certainly enjoyed by in for a bit of an [[Amstrad Action]] reviewer pasting! Reviewer [[Bob WadeTrenton Webb]], he critcised the fact that it was impossible to avoid the attacks of some enemies and felt that "On tape this is undermined the element of skill required to play the non-sequential gameis ponderous and irksome. This was echoed in To make matters worse even the second opinion for the game which felt that "Control pretties" - the beatings up - require a rewind and search before you can be frustratingplay on... on disk, spoiling APB is both playable and amusing. On tape the otherwise lovely animation of Bondnovelty soon wears off."
