SIREN.ACC is an accessory which periodically sends a little police car driving across the bottom of your screen, complete with siren and engine sounds. The identity of the original author is unknown.
The original version of SIREN.ACC had several problems. It ran only in high resolution, would not register itself in the GEM drop-down menu, and activated itself so frequently that its only use could be to install it, watch it a little while, say "wow", and then remove it.
