American Dream (アメリカンドリーム?)[2] is a Famicom video game where a player has to earn money in order to become the wealthiest gambler in the world.
The player starts out in the least wealthiest district of Brooklyn and must work his way through the outer bouroughs of New York City like Queens in order to build up his wealth. With luck and a little bit of finesse, the player can ultimately break the bank in Manhattan. Before the player can enter the casinos, he must find a permit (which acts like photo identification for the casinos) somewhere in Brooklyn. However, players must be wary of dice games that have dangerous risks. Many buildings including airports, police stations, and casinos either help or hinder the player as he tries to earn enough money on the slot machines for passage to the wealthier district. Guns can be found that can protect the player against muggers. However, the police will confiscate his weapon once he has reached a certain area in Manhattan. Slot machines come in denominations from $1 to $250 dollars. Three types of slot machines can be played at each level and the player is photographed when he wins the jackpot.[3]
