The King of Chicago description

One of the first "interactive movies" from Cinemaware.

Al Capone went to places not so remote... And Chicago was left without its King. Therefore, all and Sundry, immediately began a struggle for the throne - and among them you will.

Nominally the game is a simulator, but it works quest methods, so let's call it adventure. It can be divided into two elements - planning and action. In planning a simple selection of options proposed depending on the situation we choose the path of action -- to arrange a RAID? count the money? to assassinate the chief? to go on a date with a girl? what will we tell her? instead of whether to take her with him on the matter, let's see how we work?

In action we need only time maknuti on the "gap" (or trigger of your joystick if you have one), and our hero will pull the trigger, throw a grenade or give the teeth to someone -- just a moment podhodite...

CGA graphics, of course, rudimentary, and portraits, poorly pasted on a barely traced the outline of the bodies looks funny, but deep down it is a very thoughtful and highly nonlinear simulator of a gangster and prohibition - and this is important. Then you and the quest, and economic strategy, and sometimes even the arcade game with shooting range. Can not complain!
