A Japanese software maker says it's doing its part to help fight crime -- by launching an online game featuring mug shots of Japan's most-wanted fugitives.

However, the country's police aren't so crazy about the game "Slot Detective," which has already been played by more than 100,000 people.

Software designer Famista Inc. said Friday that it introduced the free, slot-machine-style game to publicize photographs of suspects in high-profile murder cases, hoping to tap into Japan's obsession with games to help police catch killers.
