An arcade game which finds convicted kleptomaniac, "The Rug", back to his old tricks in the Felonville Mall. Help him steal as many items as possible before he's picked up on the store surveillance cameras. If he is caught three times, he'll wind up back in jail. (Rob Sherwood) (Reg.Fee: $15)
Story
Welcome to the Felonville Mall. You are notorious shoplifter, "The Rug". You have been released on parole from your earlier caper, but that old kleptomania has struck again. During the years you have spent in jail for the acts in Shopliter I, the mall has added a few new stores. Now you are on a shoplifting spree to end all others. Let's get to those stores, and have a nice day.
Instructions
The concept of Shoplifter II is just like Shoplifter I. You must move your man in all the stores, and get as much merchandise as you can while avoiding the cameras. Each time you get hit by a camera, you lose a little bit of your stealth. Get hit enough times, and you will get caught. Get caught three times, well, you end up in jail, and the game is over.
To move your man, simply use one of the arrow keys to go in the corresponding directions. You can enter the stores by going to the door of the one store you want to enter. Once you are in the store, the only way out is to find the exit door, or to get caught enough times to lose the game. The elevator will take you to other floor of the mall. On the second floor of the mall is the exit door that will take you out of the game.
Please note, this is the shareware version of the game. The only store you can visit is "Seers". To get the other stores, you must register. Also in the registered version there is Soundblaster support in the whole game.
