Gangsters: Organized Crime

Great old game as I recall, but you can't actually play the game if your computer is from this decade. looking at the reviews and forums this is a problem for a lot of people and GOG apparently has no interest in actually fixing the problem, and instead seems to be ok with continuing to sell this product that won't work for a decent percentage of their customers. Game is worth a try but order it from ebay or something because you wont get any help emulating it here.

Congratulations GOG on offering a "modernized" game that won't run on a new OS. What a failure on their side that they won't even put a little warning that the current windows OS is not supported and that they won't refund any games based on that, what a horrible policy.

Note that this does not work on Windows 10! It is totally useless. And it is odd to me considering older titles work just fine!

I was looking for a good organized crime simulator and decided to try out "Gangsters: Organized Crime" over "Omerta: City of Gangsters" since I hate Kalypso/Haemimont games. I installed it and started playing. The first time I played it, I remember trying out the tutorials which were a bunch of text explaining a bunch of things I didn't understand at all. So I got bored and quit the game. I decided to try the game again. When I clicked on the launcher icon, it said "gangsters.exe could not launch". So, I uninstalled and re-installed. It worked. I tried playing the tutorial again since I completely forgot how to play the game. The game loaded, but there was no text or anything to help guide me through what I was supposed to be doing. I just decided to look at the Overview and learned a bit about the game and tried fooling around in the tutorial. I gave some orders, and started the week. There's no way to speed up time, so you just sit there and wait 10 minutes for your 1 person to finish doing their job. After the first week ended, the tutorial just quit. So I tried doing the second tutorial. No text again, no objectives, nothing to guide me as to what I was supposed to be doing. So I left the tutorials and decided to just try playing the normal game. I set it up and started to play. After the first week, half my gangsters were gone. After the second week, the other half were gone. No explanation given at all. So I quit playing for the second time and I don't think I'm going back.

God I loved this game, happy to pay any amount for a chance to play it again!
