I played this on the C64, very confusing game.
The good: the music!
Thank you sid chip!
I had the Atari 800 edition.
I didn't know what the fuck the "enter your account number" was at the start. Young me didn't realise it was a thinly veiled password system. Quite clever actually
Wasn't it done in David Crane's heyday too?
edit: wow, I didn't realise quite how bad the NES edition looked, though I've never played it. Seems that doubling of RAM paid off for the early Atari 400 platforms. The Atari edition did miss that final tower ascent section though.
I ended up cracking my copy of it (which was pirated anyway) and gave myself a ton of money at the start as well. Fun game for kid me, not really a classic.
I also cracked SimCity and 688 Attack Sub but I had legit copies of those, I just hated keeping track of an extra piece of paper to play them.
