How it plays
How does Armored Car (set 2) play?
Navigate the scrolling city maze, collect money, deliver it to banks, avoid criminals, and refuel at gas stations. Direction signs at intersections help define the route, while sawhorses provide a way to obstruct pursuers. Set 2 is identified as the first-release revision; set 1 contains later bug fixes, so both share the same basic play but have distinct ROM data.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Armored Car (set 2)?
Learn the route and fuel rhythm before maximizing score. Use the road layout to place obstacles between the van and criminals, deposit money before a risky section, and avoid entering a long stretch with too little fuel. Compare the exact behavior with set 1 if investigating a revision-specific difference.
