Future Cop: L.A.P.D Ships

Electronic Arts began shipping Future Cop: L.A.P.D., a strategic action-packed computer game set in futuristic Los Angeles for the PC.

Future Cop: L.A.P.D Ships is the story on November 25, 1998, and it is one of those late-1998 PC gaming updates that says exactly where the scene is right now. Electronic Arts began shipping Future Cop: L.A.P.D., a strategic action-packed computer game set in futuristic Los Angeles for the PC. In the game players must use their wits and massive firepower to destroy the army of criminals who have overrun the city.

Additionally, computer owners will enjoy the game's new features including an additional level, breathtaking 3-D accelerated graphics and multiplayer support. In the game, the player is a member of Los Angeles' police department, and must rescue the city from ruthless criminal gangs that have taken over and turned Los Angeles into a cesspool of extortion, theft and drug trafficking. Fortunately, the player is equipped with a revolutionary assault vehicle, the X-1Alpha. If you have been waiting to try it, patch it, or finally see it on a shelf, this is your nudge.
