Rickster8 #1 Posted April 9 (edited) [ Intellivision HSC Season 16 ] ( Game 12 ) Safecracker Safecracker by Imagic 1983 It's the mission you've been waiting for --- a chance to be one of history's great spies. Your job: drive the streets of a foreign city and snatch all the secrets you can lay your hands on --- cameras, keys, microfilm, flasks of chemicals and bars of gold bullion! You've got a car, a hideout and plenty of TNT. Now all you need is the skill to crack safes. And the courage to defy the Secret Police. It's dangerous, sure. If you make too many mistakes you'll see the inside of a foreign prison --- with no time off for good behavior! Your country is counting on you. Good luck... and good hunting!

It's kind of fun once you get somewhat used to the crazy controls. It's a good thing we are playing the Easy Level, both the Medium and Hard Levels are ridiculous... Like NOT fun at all.....

Rickster8 #5 Posted April 11 My Safecracker Update: Getting a little better at the game. The car steering is still pretty awful and beware cuz the other cars on the road, they DO NOT stay on the right side. They are all over the place. Accidents-O-Plenty!!! 🙄 I did manage to swipe the GOLD BULLION this time around. 👍 SAFECRACKER - EASY LEVEL - 6,400 POINTS!!! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gar0u #7 Posted April 17 I've also never played it--not sure I've even heard of this one, but I like the theme. I've fallen off my attempt to at least play every game this season at least once--time to jump back in! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gar0u #11 Posted April 19 Second attempt. Kinda getting the hang of it. Thinking the best strategy for avoiding other cars is just U-turns. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rickster8 #12 Posted April 19 The cars are absolutely AWFUL. I can speed through everything else, but the cars driving on the wrong side of the road are a death knell for me everytime..... 🤬 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
