APB (short for "All Points Bulletin") is a 1987 vehicular combat video game developed and published by Atari Games for arcades. The player assumes the role of Bob, a rookie police officer, who drives around the city ticketing motorists for minor infractions and pulling over more serious offenders. Eventually, Bob must apprehend criminals for which an all-points bulletin has been called.
The arcade cabinet resembles a police car, with a gas pedal, steering wheel and a siren button, complete with flashing lights atop the unit. The game's cartoonish visuals and sense of humor gained it positive reviews. The game was slightly criticized for its difficulty; the game's developers later admitted that a long development cycle had resulted in the gameplay growing more complicated than originally planned.
Ports of APB were released for the Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum in 1989. The home versions were mostly developed by Tengen and published by Domark. A version for the Atari Lynx handheld was published later in 1991.
