Publisher Hamster has announced that Cop 01 is now available on Nintendo Switch and PS4 as part of the digital Arcade Archives series.

Originally released in arcades by Nichibutsu in 1985, this is the first time that Cop 01 (pronounced “Cop Zero One”) has been commercially available on a home console.

Set is a sci-fi future, Cop 01 features a rookie detective named James from Police Precinct 1. Players must guide James into the secret base of Specter (erm…), a dastardly criminal organization that has kidnapped your girlfriend. Cads!

Battle through the many areas of the base using your trusty sidearm to dispatch Specter’s thugs, as well as James’s “Rocket Jump” to navigate traps and hazards.

Like other Arcade Archives titles, players can post their high scores to the online leaderboards and change various game settings to match their own personal skill levels and taste.

Arcade Archives Cop 01 is available today for $7.99 via PSN and the Nintendo Switch eShop.
