simGangster

Windows - 2004

This rare game was contributed by Angelo:

There is an old game that came out in 2004 called simGangster. In short it is a shareware text-based crime simulation game in which you play as a criminal who plans his day-to-day routine ranging from robbing, to burglary, vandalism and more. There is absolutely no support from the developers who by the looks of things no longer exist and it’s impossible to buy this game or play its full version without cracking a shareware installer because the game uses its own proprietary activator which no longer works as the official website no longer exists.

Getting to play the game again in modern days was a personal journey, as we literally had to get actual crackers to get the game and crack in 2020 it so it can be played again. In my opinion it is a lost gem and for a game that came out in 2004 it was well ahead of its time.

So it says you need a score over 1,500 to unlock the next city. I got a score of like over 2,000 and it won't unlock anything after the tutorial? Tried to play with the config file but it won't work. Anyone know how to unlock the other cities?

SO.

We have the scummy AAA videogame Producers... Excuse my english, I meant: Scummy AAA videogame CORPORATIONS that make sequels of the same game with almost the same gameplay with a solid and brainwashed playerbase.

Then we have most of the industry.

Next we have the Indie teams that makes games around some trending or attention grabbing theme.

And next we have the Indie teams that make games about whatever they want and make sure the game is good.

Following them we have the same kind of Indie developers... But is a single person AKA "Leonardo Da Vinci making videogames".

And finally we have this. The absolute heroes of game conservation. GG. You guys are the real MVPs.
