Game Review (written by Chrissi) Added on: 12/17/2007
Rags to Riches is an action adventure game where you will be taking the role of a homeless person living in a fictional city. The game has been divided into four different sections which consist of north, south, west, and east.
The player will begin in the south section of the game. When it comes to do the completion of the game the player must get a total gross salary of one million dollars. There are several jobs that the player is able to take part in.
They will as well have to attend high school and college, get several jobs, and eventually become a millionaire. You can exchange bottles that you find through in the game at several stores. The players will travel around the game by using the subway system; there is an entrance at certain section of the city that allows the player you travel between the city sections. You will be required to purchase a ticket for the subways to be able to travel on the subway system. You are only able to have a maximum of five tickets at the time.
Throughout the game you will see your status displayed on the screen which will show your alcohol, food/rest, and two education meters. If your food/rest

and alcohol meter both reach zero at the same time you will sadly die and have to start over. Throughout the game there are restaurants, food outlets, and convenience stores that will assist in keeping your nutrition levels up. If you are feeling a little cheap and don’t want to pay for your meal, then you can easily go to a soup kitchen.
You will begin to get tired every day meaning you will have to get some sleep. You can rent a in a hotel which rates can run you from $2.00 a day to $40.00 per week. During the night you will discover that it is much more difficult to stay alive due to the fact that your food and energy supply will diminish faster than it does during the day.
Other than trying to be alive you will be attempting to earn a lot of money. The total amount of money that you have will be displayed at the bottom of your screen. Once you get further along in the game there will be more financial options you will be able to take part in. Be careful on the amounts of money you keep on you since if you get robbed they will be able to take all your pocket change and dollar bills. You will also have to look out for the IRS, they will not collect your pocket change or dollar bills, but all your bigger bills that you have. There is also the chance of getting arrested for not having your haircut. This sounds crazy, but throughout the entire game you must keep your hair cut.
Rags to Riches have been designed with your generalized graphical details. There isn’t too much detail that has been done to the backgrounds, but you are able to depict out which characters are which throughout game play. The buildings are as well basic enough to determine which building is supposed to represent which. The game is not too difficult when it comes to the game play. There are some aspects of the game that can get overly frustrating, but never too difficult to accomplish.
Overall, Rags to Riches has been designed to be an out of the ordinary game with a phenomenal plot. There are a lot of aspects to this game that allowed it to become quite exciting and thrilling. The game doesn’t require too much strategic thought since you can’t really control when the IRS or robbers come into the game, all you have to worry about is getting as many jobs you can to earn more money. If you enjoy action adventure games and are looking for a game that has a little more to it than just some action packed scenes and interesting adventures, then Rags to Riches would be a great recommendation for your choice of game play.

This game is awesome, you start out as a bum with hardly any money and the objective of the game is to become as rich as possible!

This was truely an entertaining game back in the day. Save up as much money as you can get a hold of, untill you can get yourself cleaned up enough to find actual work, and pay for a decent place to sleep, then just keep the momentum going.
