Narc is a 1988 arcade game designed by Eugene Jarvis for Williams Electronics and programmed by George Petro. It was one of the first ultra-violent video games and a frequent target of parental criticism of the arcade game industry. The object is to arrest and kill drug offenders, confiscate their money and drugs, and defeat "Mr. Big". It was the first game in the newly restarted Williams Electronics coin-op division, after being acquired by Midway. Narc was ported to several home computer systems such as the 8-bit Commodore 64 and 16-bit Atari ST and Amiga computers by Ocean Software in 1990. Narc was also ported to the NES and in 1990 by Rare. In 2005, the franchise was re-launched with a brand new game for the Xbox and PS2.
