* Run "regedit" from Start-Run on windows '95/98.Type regedit and press enter.
  Navigate through the following:
  "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" => "SOFTWARE" => "HOTHOUSE" => "GANGSTERS" 

  Change the TAG: "DEFAULT_MONEY" Change it from 2710 to 207101a and you now 
  start with $34,017,306 instead of the usual $10,000.
  Change "DEFAULT_HOODS" to ff and you now startwith 256 hoods.


Easy properties:
----------------
Extort some properties (it will not matter if they want to pay you the money).
After that week, look on the map and double click on the property that was 
extorted. A picture of the owner will appear with details about the shop. Move
the cursor next to the picture in the "blank space" and the cursor will change.
Click when this happens and the property will become yours. Do not forget to 
send a man to run the place the following week.


More Business:
--------------
Go to regedit in the start menu, go to local_machine, software, hothouse, 
gangsters, then go to default_territory and set it to 500 and now you will 
start out with around  21 to anywhere around 34.


Free Business:
--------------
In the Gang Organizer, go to the city maps. Bring up the info on any business
and let the mouse hover around over the box until a little 'Return to base' 
tip appears. Click there and tada, the business is yours. 
If you want, you can sell it on the spot and the cash will go directly into 
your assets. Or you can wait until next week when you can send someone to 
run the business.


$3000 For Gangs:
----------------
At the Lieutenant part of the gang organizer screen press D + A + R + T to
give $3000 to each gang.


Registry Cheat:
---------------
Always back up your registry before doing these type of cheats. If are are
not familiar with the registry do not attempt this cheat.

1.Click "Start"
2.Choose the "Run" option.
3.Type regedit and press enter.
4.Navigate through the following:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" => "SOFTWARE" => "HOTHOUSE" => "GANGSTERS" 

Change the TAG: "DEFAULT_MONEY"

Free items:
-----------
Go to the Lieutenant's page of the Gang Organizer, open the Cars menu, and
go to the "Black Market". Instead of clicking on the car you want and waiting
for the money clip to appear, quickly drag the car of your choice from the 
"Black Market" page to the picture of it on the Lieutenant's side. If this 
was done fast enough, the item will be yours, with no money being subtracted.
This can also be done with guns, but does not work with recruited hoods. 
Note: Try this first without having enough money for the object, as it takes
some practice. After each time this trick is used (whether successful or not),
exit the "Black Market" and return.


50,000 extra dollars to buy stuff:
----------------------------------
Go to Leutenants and type "I LOVE HANSON"as fast as you can (Don't worry 
about the screen swiching while typeing it in) then go to weaponds or cars,
wich ever you want to buy, and go to black market.Then click on the item and
it will say how much it is and how much you have and you should have 50,000 
bucks writin in red below the price of the item. 


GameTips:
---------
* Get the gymnasiums, pool halls, and especially the docks under your control
  as quickly as possible. The best way to beat rival families is to deny them
  places where they can recruit "muscle." 

* Bribe early and often. Start with the Mayor as soon as you can afford it, 
  then go after the Chief of Police. 

* Recruit an Accountant and a Lawyer as soon as possible. The Accountant will
  be needed for tax evasion, and you'll probably need a Lawyer sooner than 
  you'd like.


Defeating opposing gangs faster: 
--------------------------------
To kill opposing gangs faster, torch their headquarters. This is much faster
than bombing them. Torching kills the leader in one shot instead of twice when
bombing. This may be difficult if it is enclosed by other buildings. If the 
headquarters is enclosed, make sure you send in more than one group of hoods 
to torch it. Killing most of the opposing gang's hoods will also weaken their
headquarters' defense.


Quickly find enemy hideouts:
----------------------------
Pause game play at the beginning of the week and look for cars parked at
treatment blocks. There will only be a few and will save time. Mark down 
where you found the car parked at the treatment block and explore it the 
next week.


Make more money:
----------------
Enable the "$50,000" code and buy large amounts of red cars. You can only buy
ten at a time. Return to the car screen and sell all the cars that you bought.
You can only make $2,500 back from selling them (half the money back you paid 
for).


Easy properties:
----------------
To get easy properties without extortion, use the following steps. Beside the
picture are invisible buttons that say (in order) sack hood, return to base, 
and hood pay. Press the "Return To Base" button and then you own it. Doing this
also (one week after the process) allows you to buy the empty area in the middle
of tenement blocks.
