Play Crime City Amiga Online

Crime City Amiga came out in 1992, developed by Impressions Games and published by GT Interactive. It was a point-and-click adventure for the Amiga, a platform that had its share of detective and mystery games, but this one stood out for its focus on time and resource management. You play as a detective novelist trying to solve a murder, and the game gives you a surprising amount of freedom in how you approach the case.

You control the writer as you move through a city full of suspects and clues, managing your time, energy, and money carefully. The main goal is to gather enough evidence to identify the killer, which involves interrogating people, searching locations, and even dabbling in the stock market to fund your investigation. Key mechanics include a day/night cycle that affects which characters are available, and a need to balance rest and work to avoid collapsing from exhaustion. The pacing is deliberate, and the difficulty comes from making smart choices with limited resources. It feels like a race against the clock where every decision matters.
