Safecracker 1 & 2

If they(Programmers & Game Companies) ever have a Safecracker 3. I hope they will do away with the slider puzzle safes. For me they to hard to solve.

I love the thought of a Safecracker 3. I'm replaying Safecracker 2 right now (yes, you kick-started me off on that! ), and it really is a lot of fun. Some of those safes are ingenious.

How far have you got with #2?

I love sliders, but the one in Safecracker 2006 was brutal.

I do love the challenge of a good slider though.

I didn't know that there is a sequel? Oh boy i'm million of years behind... Can i have a link please for Safecracker 2?

I down to 90% of the game. I still got the phone safe,double locked doors, and the final safe.

For a little more info, there's a GB review right here, Volkana:

I know this is a older game Traitors Gate is a little like Safecracker. If you get it. It does work well with a faster computer and Windows XP. The only differences the game has safecracker tools. Which you have find in the sewer within the game.

For some reason I thought Traitors Gate was a Darkside game. Thanks for the recommendation.

Traitors Gate is a lot fun. It has same twist and turns as Safecracker has. If you get it. You'll enjoy it. You're welcome for my recommendation. If you buy the game. Go online and download the map to sewer. You'll need it!!

Thanks for the link Rushes but i have already played this one...
I meant i never heard of Safecracker 2... Enlighten me please about this one... Has it been released by another title?
Thanks

Volkana, that is SafeCracker 2. There was a previous game released in 1997 by the same name. Original SAfeCracker

That is Safecracker 2.

Safecracker 1 was released in 1997. I haven't played #1, so can't tell you much about it, other than the game gives you an allotted amount of time to open all the safes, and if you run out of time then you are unable to finish the game.

Ohhh... Sorry about that... I didn't knew there was an older one and the one i have didn't have the number 2 in the title so i assumed that the one i played was the first one...

Thanks for the info...

I research games online before I buy one. I found SafeCracker 2 while looking for walkthroughs for Safecracker 1 and this other game came up. I was wondering if was the same game or not. It turn out it wasn't. So I went to Amazon.com and bought it.

Nice... I'm one of the same here... Now i'm thinking of buying the first one

Are they truly related? I recall that these two safecracker games were developed entirely by different developers. They were also not thematically related (the stories are not related in any way? Is this true?

Yup. The games had nothing to do with each other other than having the theme of opening a houseful of safes. And Dreamcatcher published both of them. The original Safecracker from 1997 was developed by Daydream Software, which went on to develop Traitors Gate. The Safecracker from 2006 was developed by Kheops.

I loved both games, but was more experienced for the second one and solved almost all of it on my own. My favorite puzzle was the wire box. I also loved the packaging for the second game. The metal case is very cool.
Traitor's Gate 1 was an interesting game. I didn't like the timed bits, but the concept was intriguing, and I remember a lot of details in the game. You really felt that you were in the Tower of London. I never played the sequel due to the generally universal comments about stealth and timed bits.
BTW, I have to say that I really like sliders (ducks under desk).
The best one so far was in the Puzz 3D train (Orient Express). The Safecracker 2 one was also challenging because you couldn't reference a picture of what you were doing, plus, being letters, a few of the lines were very similar.

I agree, colpet, the packaging for Safecracker 2006 (the early edition metal case) is the best I've ever seen for a game.

I'm put off Traitors Gate a little by mention of timed sequences. Also I've read that there's a lot of wandering around in sewers? Don't fancy that much, Agon 4 was bad enough in that respect!

If you play Traitors Gate through there are safes to crack.
I played Traitors Gate to the end. This game may not be similar to Safecracker 2006. But they are similar to Safecracker 2000. You have rooms to go through and safes to crack.
You don't have to walk around in the sewer all day or night.
The sewer is the only way to get to place to place and to the rooms. Don't knock until you tried it.

------------
Traitors Gate the story may not be same as both Safecrackers games.
If you played it before and didn't like walking around and around in the sewers and got lost. That means you didn't go online and download Traitors Gate map of the sewers. You don't walk around in the sewers all the time. You do get to walk around up top after you exit the sewer. Believe it or not there are safes in the game. Plus you get some way cool safecracking tools. After you find a hidden back pack of goodies in the sewer.
The map shows where the pack of goodies and where the exits are. If and when you download the map you might enjoy the game.

Note to self: If/when you buy Traitors Gate, definitely download sewer map.

My experience was similar. I liked both games a lot, but while the first Safecracker kicked me around in a number of spots, the second Safecracker went a lot better for me and I think I got through without help except on one puzzle.

Are you guys afraid to play Traitors Gate to the end because of a sewer. Chicken!!! It's lot more fun if you go online and download the Traitors Gate map of the sewers. Come on at least give it a try....PLEEEEASSE! I know you will like it. Thank you.

Safecracker,

I'm sure some other gamers agrees that TG1 is a good game. I liked it too. But each gamer differes. I'm sure if they find the game available, they will get it.

You may have trouble running Safecracker1 with a fast modern computer.You cannot control scrolling through the inventory.
----------------------------------------------------------
Traitors Gate2 is also very good.It has an Egyptian tomb type of theme.

Yes you can control the scrolling on a faster computer. Here's a tip. Instead of clicking the left mouse button. Try tapping the left mouse button on the up down arrows while scrolling. It will work!
