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???

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

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...

Just checked and it mustn't have been Blagger as it was a platform game where you collected keys. Don't think it was Swag either.

not that one... like I said with this one you hired people planned out the bank jobs... etc...

L.A crackdown maybe.

Have a scan through on here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Commodore_64_games

Doesn't really ring any bells for me to be honest. Would prob be quite handy if you could remember whether he had a speccy, amstrad or c64. Assuming it's one of those and not an acorn or bbc or oric or something even weirder.

Like that BUT not that... keep looking

It is was a very old Amiga game from 1991. Though the archived reviews I've just read declare it being complete rubbish. Seems to tick some of your boxes though.

Nope its not that....
