Gangsters: Organized Crime

This was a great game 20+ years ago when it came out but, unfortunately, this version is completely unplayable. Hopefully the refund will be painless.

This game was included in one of those multi-game packs you would buy from your local games store for about $10. There may have been one or two games in the pack that you would know, but before the days of GOG and Steam, this was the only way to buy old-school games. Exactly what I was chasing for my parents ageing PC (they couldn't see the value in forking out $200 for a graphics card...). I think Gangsters came in a pack along with Soldier of Fortune and Mobile Forces... for some reason. I remember actually enjoying this title. Taking out rival gang members and eventually controlling the city, all to a pleasing early 20th century aesthetic. Unfortunately, GOG's copy does not work on my system over the last, I think 5 years since I bought the game on GOG. I give it 1 star since seeing it for sale on GOG brought back some good memories of when you actually went into a store, browsed the titles, picking up game cases and reading the back, avoiding glancing at the new releases since you'd only saved up $20 from doing odd jobs for your folks. So you bought a whole bunch of budget titles instead, or you might get lucky and find Heretic II on sale for 19.99! You'd head home, salivating over the pictures on the box and anticipating the fun you'd have playing them over the holidays ahead. You installed it, and then found out it didn't work anyway, headed back to the store and found out no, they would not provide a refund. Ah the good old days. Overall I'm disappointed GOG, but thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Look, if you know the game I'm not going to waste your time reviewing it. Its a couple of easy fixes where you change the regedit(Found in Forums) and then change the compablility to Windows XP and you're good to go. Now those who has not played this game it is a really good and very hard at times manager game with Mafia aspects where if you do something wrong in the wrong way it can be horrible to the point that you have no one in your mafia at all. This game is not for the faint of heart as all of your hard work can be taken away within the next round. 9/10

I used to play it on my laptop until it broke down. I really really loved this game, it was so addicting that I would go back to play this game over and over. In fact it was one of the first games that I installed on my new computer, but unfortunately it wont run on windows 8 and I would be really happy if a fix were to be made for this game!! I was so upset about the fact that I could not play in on my new computer that I searched over and over for ways on how I can make it run but unfortunately no fix exists till this day :(

Despite what certain reviews are claiming this game does not run under windows 10. The 'fix' is by some random person on the internet that requires you to do run a regedit script to do god knows what to your system registry. You should never do this, EVER. Its not safe and exactly how you'll end up with malware on your system Any review that suggests using that 'fix' should be removed for telling users to engage in unsafe practices that will lead to their system being compromised
