Thief

The five jewels of Danathens are a priceless treasure and the owner is you, the game’s protagonist. Many will attempt to seize them and only you can prevent them.

Thief is a fixed-screen shooter with one or two alternating players controlling four guns on the playfield's perimeter. Your goal is to take out raiding thieves before they can grab a jewel and exit the area.

You can position your guns by sliding them either clockwise or anticlockwise and shoot up to four shells at a time. Thieves will also shoot at your guns, potentially depriving you from one or more. Hitting a thief will grant you points, with extra bonus for thieves who have snatched a jewel and are on the way out. If you lose all guns, you start over. If all jewels are taken, then you lose.
