Not as good as Pizza Tycoon, then.

I really like the controls. And the style. If this had’ve come out on the C64 back in the day, it would have been an all-time classic!

Wow. This fails in both retro charm (what the hell is with the mismatched pixel sizes, or awkward mixture of tone-generated and sampled sound?) and in actually being a compelling game. If GTA had handled so treacle-badly, they’d have never reached their big break with III.

@MikeBiggs
Sorry, I completely misread your first post as american biggotry! :D Your reference makes much better sense now.

Why does delivery pizza tack a delivery fee now? Wasn’t that the purpose of the tip?

@D the point I tried and failed to make was that there is a difference in culture.

In the service industry in America you get paid a lower wage and rely more on tips, not tipping is (As I understand it) not very common in America.
Whereas in England the service charge is included in the cost so the company can afford to pay you more, this means tips are nice but not necessary. We tip for particularly excellent service as opposed to acceptable service.

Am I making sense?

The reference to reservior dogs was merely the first reference to the culture of tipping I got off the top of my head, I wasn’t trying to say that because he didn’t want to tip he was British.

I dunno, maybe I’m just sounding like an arse here.

MikeBiggs: A) You’re not just confused because the dollar is worth less? B) Steve Buscemi was never british.

While you may have been terrible it’s more likely because Brits don’t tip much and Americans tip a lot more in comparison

See the diner scene in Reservoir Dogs :D

Checking the game out now…

Strangely, a brief student stint as a bike courier was as close to ‘games in real life’ as I’ve got, thanks to rediculous time limits, GTA style driver aggression and the seemingly constant proximity of violent death; it would have been OK if I could’ve just saved between missions…
