video game produced for theNintendo Entertainment System and developed byHAL Laboratory that was released in1988 . It allowed players to indulge in virtualgambling from the safety of their homes."Vegas Dream" began with graphics showing the player (or one of the players) arriving at Las Vegas by airplane, where they could spend up to 700 dollars on four games:
keno ,blackjack ,roulette orslot machines . Between rounds of play at the normal casino games, there were randomly occurring social interactions. These social interactions were really compulsory slot machine games with random results: sometimes the unidentified black man is a pickpocket, other times he's just down on his luck, and will reward you for your kindness down the road. Vegas Dream also allowed you to date and marry as many women as you cared to."Vegas Dream" included a password save feature, but the passwords were 26 characters long and consisted of letters, numbers and symbols making them difficult to record correctly. Game-generated passwords also did not seem to work (although some [http://www.cheatscodesguides.com/nes-cheats/vegas-dream/ cheat code passwords] did), so some saved games could never be continued.
It is possible to win the game by earning over ten million dollars. "Vegas Dream"
