Before there was Grand Theft Auto, there was a game called “Crime Fighter” where you had to earn money before the time ran out. You spent your turn (day) setting up ways to make money, which could include robbing a place, kidnapping a kid for ransom, stealing a car, gambling, etc. You could also help get better chances by doing certain things like working out or hiring gang members.
It’s been awhile since I’ve played it, but iirc you have something like 30 days (30 turns) to come up with a certain amount of cash. Once you beat the game, it basically becomes a game of who can hit top score with the most money in 30 days.
It’s surprisingly fun and complex for an MS DOS game. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes retro games and a turn based grand theft auto type of game. It’s nice because it’s not complete turn based, but you have so many actions you can do in a day.
Come to think of it, yeah, I’ve never seen Harry Potter and Daniel Radcliffe in the same room together!
