Travel back to New York's golden age of gangsters, where you get to take on the role of a crime boss in 1950's Little Italy. Make your rounds about town as you pick up money from different buildings, but watch out for the "heat"! Each crime boss shares control of two cars, each with a different opponent. Drive through the streets, timing it right to collect money and avoid the police. Play strategically, and you'll be able to drive your opponents straight into a stakeout, costing them big money while you collect the big score. If you don't, you'll find yourself sleeping with the fishes!
