Gangsters: Organized Crime is a strategy game by Eidos Interactive for Windows, first released in 1998. and re-released in 2012 on GOG.com. It is set in the fictional Chicago suburb of New Temperance in the Prohibition era. A sequel, Gangsters 2: Vendetta, was released by Eidos in 2001.
Gameplay[edit]
Gangsters is played by alternating between turn-based and real time gameplay. At the beginning you give orders to the gangsters (or 'hoods') under your control, which are then played out in front of you during the real-time aspect of the game (the working week).
To have any chance of winning the game, you must begin expanding your territory by giving your hoods the order to extort businesses into paying protection money to you every week (which must be collected). You will also have to begin recruiting more hoods for your gang as soon as possible by giving your hoods the recruit order. Additional hoods can be recruited from gyms, pool halls, cafés, the docks and the unemployment office.
Gangsters Organized Crime Hints
The hoods have many different attributes such as intelligence, fists, knives, etc. which make them suitable for different missions. A hood with high knife skill and low fists skill may inadvertently kill someone he was merely sent to beat up, for instance. Hoods can be promoted to lieutenant, which gives them the ability to lead teams of hoods. It is also possible to hire a lawyer and an accountant. There are different automobiles and weapons that can be purchased to aid in carrying out missions.
To aid the needs of the mob, the player will need to administrate their mob's activities to bring in money. This can be done through the purchase of businesses (Both Legal and Illegal), a protection racket, raiding businesses and bribing/employing the appropriate people to ensure they do not get in trouble. A lawyer can keep the player's hoods out of jail while an accountant can cover all the illegal money the player makes, evading tax and auditing the player's businesses incase the hoods running them are stealing earnings from the player's business. The FBI can become involved with investigating illegal businesses, if they aren't run well enough to conceal them, resulting in costly shutdowns and heat toward the player.
The game has three victory conditions with varying degrees of difficulty, from easiest to hardest.
Go Straight: This requires the player to get a good lawyer and pull in a good sum of purely legal money from businesses owned, no hoods wanted by police and no 'heat'. Central park map. Eventually the player can choose to drop the life of crime that paved their way and be legit with their new business empire. Rival gangs are the main threat to this goal as their movement on the player's territory can draw the player back to crime to retaliate or defend.
Get elected Mayor: This requires the player to secure mayor of the city, requiring a good lawyer, much money, territory and a winning vote. The player needs to keep their potential voters happy through low protection costs and high security with charitable causes from the player setup like soup kitchens. Owning a teamsters illegal business can give a substantial boost to votes too.
Domination: This is the hardest yet least complex way to win, destroy all rival gangs through force. The difficulty comes from the potentially huge amount of heat from the police as the player's hoods war with the enemy with huge bodycounts being brought up each week in addition to buildings being attacked, torched or blown up. Sometimes killing the enemy leaders isn't enough as, unlike the player, another hood from their gang can step up to take over for them, leading the player to need to seek out and destroy their offices.

Gangsters: Organized Crime was commercially successful.[8][9] In the German market, it debuted in ninth place on Media Control's computer game sales rankings for the latter half of December 1998.[10] The game proceeded to secure positions 8 and 11 for the first and second halves of January, respectively.[11] Worldwide, Gangsters sold 350,000 units by June 1999. This performance led Hothouse to begin production of a sequel, Gangsters 2.[8] Sales of the game rose to 500,000 units by November. Hothouse attributed the majority of its sales to Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States.[9]
Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that 'While there are some interface problems, a few design holes, and a sketchy manual, once players master the complex game interactions, Gangsters becomes exactly what fans of this genre look for – something that keeps them up late at night.'[4]

Followed MRPISCES advice and finally got it working. Make sure you keep the image mounted to play the game! And if you do use DxWnd (by downloading file off other link), change the 'path' to your installation directory

Mounted the iso image, but I can't proceed with installation due to windows 10. Anyone knows how to solve it?
c-3-32020-04-251 point
it doesn't work? you can't be serious.first download the iso file and other components like patch, guide etc. Then find a disc image software like daemon tools or virtual clone.Unrar the file and mount the cd image and install the game with a few clicks.Then find the crack file in the virtual cd/dvd rom and put it in the gangsters 2 directory.Run patch and you're ready to play.Besides, there are some hex cheats for this game and you need an hex editor like hxd to use these cheats. Have a nice day.

MrPisces2019-10-134 points
Thanks for sharing this legendary game! Got it working on Windows 10 64 bit. Steps: 1) Download iso; 2) Install game; 3) Run patch to update + copy-paste cr@k folder contents to game installation folder 4) Download DxWnd; 5) Download gangster 2 config file @ https://sourceforge.net/p/dxwnd/discussion/general/thread/1680a521/#2e58; 6) Set gangsters AND dxwnd exe with admin rights; 7) Play! Once done, kill gangsters exe with task manager. Notes: 1) If you do not use dxwnd, then you have full screen and alt-tabbing causes visual glitches like pink boxes or worse, because it uses directx. DxWnd also let's you play in window mode at native 800x600 resolution. 2) If you do not do step 6, you might get error of unable to install keyboard hook (or something) Have fun!

Thanks. Works perfectly with Windows 10. I used the ISO for installation, then did the update. An error occured that dplayx.dll is missing and I should install Direct Play. Therefore I took dplayx.dll from the dir: C:/windows/SysWOW64 and copied it to C:/windows/System32 . I started the game again, agreed to install Direct Play which then automatically works.

Use Compatibility Mode Set it for 'Windows XP Service Pack 3' Then, check 'Run in 640X480 Resolution' Runs perfectly. Peace

Thanks its working for me. Mount the iso image. Copy the crack file and overwrite. To update the game copy the update file to the installation folder and install. Everything should work then.
