Hey All,

I remember going around to my mates once and playing a game where you would setup a robbery... I mean everything... where you would rob.... employ people such as a safe cracker, strong guy, and get away driver... I can't remember the name of it... but it was like in the 1980s... and is there ayn sim games like it now???

Grand Theft Auto Vice City is the only thing i can think of, but i doubt thats it. You do a robbery, hire lots of people to do it and its in the 80's

DailyGeek · 12 Jan 2007 at 16:05

the game was set in the eighties? or you remember playing it then?

Stelly · 12 Jan 2007 at 16:06

Yes I do... limited colour... can remember tripping the alarm on the second job and having to leave sharpish... its really good the more jobs the better reputation, but the more under the lime light you are with the cops...

There was a game called Heist more recently but it was bloomin' awful. Got to be three\four years ago now.

Shamikebab · 12 Jan 2007 at 16:55

Wasn't The Sting was it? not a bad game

Fubsy · 12 Jan 2007 at 16:56

Sounds a lot like Gangsters to me.

Malc · 12 Jan 2007 at 20:52

I'd say Gangsters aswell. Its the first game that popped into my mind

Darryn · 12 Jan 2007 at 21:01

Killerkebab · 13 Jan 2007 at 01:03

Don't bother...I'm pretty patient but it was so horribly linear I uninstalled it after the first mission. Try the demo, IIRC it's pretty close to the full game.

Hehe the number of people suggesting 21st century games for a suggested 1980's period
