## What is Crime Fighter?

Crime Fighter is a game for up to four players. 

Try to commit as many crimes as possible and become the boss of the underworld. For example you can play pickpocket, raid supermarkets and hotels, steal cars, raid banks, attack mail trains, and so on. Since you are in a big town you have many different ways to do this. As soon as you have a high standing in the criminal underworld, you are also able to sign on gangsters that join your gang. This gangsters then can be trained or equipped with weapons (for example with pistols or machine guns). Your aim is to seize the power in the underworld. But the way is very dangerous, especially since the other players try exactly the same. And also the police are hard on your heels.... 

But be careful: Crime Fighter is absolutely addictive.

### 5/5 — Please bring back Casino games!

*2024-03-08, version 1.0.5*

It was a lot of fun! Please bring them back!

### 5/5 — Legendär

*2023-11-01, version 1.0.5*

Einfach ein legendäres Spiel. Kann mich noch erinnern wie ich das mit meinen Brüdern gezockt habe bis die Augen tränten und darüber hinaus 😂

### 5/5 — Bring back the fake gambling feature!!

*2023-06-28, version 1.0.4*

As Cyborgninja84 suggests, bring back the casino!!!

### 5/5 — Childhood

*2022-11-02*

So much nostalgia from this game

### 3/5 — Amazing but a LOT of flaws here

*2022-06-13, version 1.0.4*

I might be blinded by nostalgia but I’ve been playing this now for a while and…

Although it’s cool, it’s missing a lot from what the original had.

Most importantly is some of these mini games don’t work. There’s a suitcase mission that immediately fails you as you’re in a cops “line of sight”

Yet you’re diagonal and not in their line of sight at all…. It’s a huge flaw.

The other things are controls. The buttons are very clunky. It’s hard to move around.

The timer is too short on many of the mini games and too long on the police evade missions

This is a pretty bad port.

I’m still excited to play it & I’ve bought the full version (before playing much)
And yeah… it’s a handful of Mess ups but I mean. It’s great to revisit.

Also the music isn’t the same… and neither are the sfx

### 4/5 — Multiplayer could be improved

*2022-05-21, version 1.0.4*

A long time ago, I discovered the original MS-DOS version of this game and was hooked. I only ever played by myself, and I downloaded this one hoping it would support multiplayer over iMessage, or at least with someone on another device. Unfortunately, it seems like this hasn’t been added, meaning there’s no way to play multiplayer unless you’re physically in the same room and have a phone you’re comfortable passing around.

The gameplay is pretty fun though, especially when you’re still learning how everything works. The UI looks amateurish and could really use some polish, but it’s still very usable and that’s what matters.

### 5/5 — Super. Wie damals..

*2021-11-19, version 1.0.4*

Danke für diese Umsetzung. Wie lange wir das früher auf dem 286er gespielt haben.... Das waren Zeiten. Danke danke danke

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-08-24, version 1.0.4*

So glad this DOS classic has come to the iPhone. I was trying to download a DOS emulator just to play it! Such a cool game with so many avenues to steal, drive cars and even kidnap people, all in 2D. Probably been superseded by Grand Theft Auto and all that, but still an amazing game.

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2020-11-14, version 1.0.3*

Sooo glad it’s an app.  Haven’t played this in 20 years.

### 1/5 — Gut gemacht

*2020-09-22, version 1.0.3*

Ich habe das Spiel geholt um in Nostalgie zu schwelgen. Leider war das Spiel zu schnell zu Ende. Daraufhin das Spiel im Premium Paket gekauft. Leider ist der Inhalt nicht angekommen...
