Your Opinion on Safecracker

Great! Could you possibly have this done by the end of 2015?

 

Sure, if you can find someone else to program it for me.

Yes Joe, when will Super Pro Safecracker be finished? I'll buy your ridiculously tall beers at the next CGE if you can get it done in time for that.

I got it recently and like it quite a bit. I enjoyed the challenge of the navigation; you really have to let go of preconceived notions of direction (east, west, north, south) and replace those with colors. I does take a bit of getting used to before it is fun, so I can understand a lot of people not liking it, but it is just the kind of challenge I like and certainly different from anything else.

I loved this game in the middle 1980's, and played it a bunch. I found it intuitive and the gameplay came easy for me. The wonky driving seemed like typical Intellivision stuff and I just worked around it. I always wished the player could explore more of the city's buildings. This was one of those games that pushed the envelope but still left me wanting even more: more items, more mission objectives, more map, etc. But, being an Imagic title it delivered. In those days, my gaming buddies and I never hesitated to put money down for Imagic games for Atari or Intellivision. The games were almost always a cut above and the packaging was something to behold when new. Unboxing Imagic stuff is something we talk about to this day!

 

I enjoyed comparing Safecracker to Activision's Private Eye, and would sometimes alternate playing the two in a single session, conflating the two in my mind and imagining it was all part of a larger espionage game.

 

I've played Safecracker recently and I enjoy it as much now as I did three decades ago. I also recently re-read the EG review of the game from 1984, which was positive. I've attached a clipping if anyone is interested.

I don't have Safecracker, it sounds like a good game.

A very nice read, indeed!
