About this game

In Grand Larceny, you must enter a hotel and explore its rooms and floors to locate plans for a super computer. Find objects, use them in the correct places, interact with other characters, and escape from the roof by helicopter.

The game combines adventure gameplay with arcade elements. You control the character with a joystick from a side view while the screen scrolls during movement. Text below the playing area describes your location and nearby objects, and typed commands let you interact with the environment using 24 available verbs.
