They Stole A Million

I've been playing 'They Stole A Million' for a couple of days now, and I have to say this is a really great game.

This game passed me by back in the day, and it's only since buying the speccy games book that I checked out this and a few other titles. :)

I can imagine it being something you don't come back to once completed, but it's still a very involving and absorbing game.

Can't understand why there wasn't a follow up.

    They may have stole a million, but perhaps they didn't sell a million. So maybe that's why there was no sequel.

    Which makes me think of those 'They Sold a Million' compilations. Did they really sell a million, the games that made up the compilation that is - even if it was combined?

    Sorry to go off topic.

    I've only briefly played the game as I recall. I don't think I really got into it, although it seemed interesting enough.

    Given that Ariolasoft dropped the 39 Steps label after less than year and just three releases, I suspect it wasn't much of a money spinner.

    The idea with the They Sold a Million compilations was that the games on them had sold a million copies between them across all formats. I'd be surprised if any game had sold a million copies on a single format though.

    I think I read somewhere that Sabre Wulf was the highest selling full price speccy title with 500,000 sales

    It says 350,000 here but I'm not sure if that's entirely gospel.

    I thought Ghostbusters was the best selling speccy game, apparantly it sold 100,000 but might be wrong.
    The trouble with tribbles is.......
