COPS, the Atari arcade videogame from 1994 based on the now-cancelled "reality" TV show

Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do? In 1994, Atari released COPS, a LaserDisc-based videogame based on the now-cancelled "reality" TV series. Above is rare footage of the gameplay.

According to the International Arcade Museum description, "You play a cop who must either shoot armed criminals while protecting the innocent or chase after escaping criminals in your patrol car."

As usual, it would have been more fun to play the bad guys.

Below are shots of a COPS Operator's Manual currently for sale on eBay.
