Goodfellas

This game is why this blog was created: it BLOWS. An interface of text screens with minimal graphics and animation enable you to amass money in your campaign to be Godfather but Francis Ford Coppala knew enough to keep his franchise away from this thing.
Loan money and offer protection to faceless people like "Jacob Cook" and "Bobby Ford"(remember them from the movie? Well, I'm sure they were in some movie), and then send faceless thugs with names like "Mad Dog" and "Tool" to collect. You can also send them out to hijack wine, gin, and other shipments of vice. But watch out! If you hire one a dem goons wit a low loyalty ratin', he's gonna get pinched and squeal, then you'll be pullin' time in the pokey and who'll have egg on dere face then? You, wiseguy! So don't go hirin' no thugs wit low ratin's. There's also five card poker in here which is the closest to a game you're gonna find in this shameless exploitation. Startin' to get da message? After you get enough monies dere, you can move up da ranks dere till you get to be Godfaddah and you get dat dere Oscar ya always wanted. Oh, you want action and movin' picshas? There's a graphic with a buncha liddle guys hangin' out in a backroom somewhere's; that picsher nuff for ya's!
