Game Play
You play Lupin, a character who is trying to get money for his sweetheart. You try to take up to two of the six bags from the top and get them to the bottom without getting caught by an enemy. If an enemy gets too close or you are surrounded you can teleport, but there is no telling where you will end up -- you could end up in a worse spot than the one you escaped from!
After you have gotten all six money bags, you go to meet your sweetheart, but she tells you to get her more money and you proceed to the next level. If you lose all your lives you will be shown being dragged off to jail.
