GameGirl.com runs down the best games in which to make a fortune.

7-Sims 2. PC. Cheating: life's little easy button. The only thing better than working hard, putting blood, sweat, and tears into something, is typing Ctrl Shift C and writing in motherlode. Spelled m-o-t-h-e-r-l-o-d-e. Simply copy, paste, enter this code over and over again and viola, instant millionaire. Now you can buy that overpriced lawn gnome your sim has always wanted. Sweet, sweet simolieins.
 

6-Wall Street Kid. NES. Let's say a distant relative has decided to leave you 600 billion dollars in his will. Sweet, right? All you have to do is take $500,000 and prove you deserve the inheritance by investing it on the stock market. The bad news is you have to invest it in the U.S. stock market, not the most fun market to be in. The goals of this game include: buy a yacht, buy a house worth over a million dollars, Earn enough money to buy a castle. Admirable goals.

5-Link's Awakening. Gameboy. Here's the obligatory Zelda entry. In the GameBoy game Link's Awakening, ruppees were hard to come by. If you want to buy anything you'd have to go a-slashin. This is in no way cheating, and all of you did it, don't lie. Enter a screen with tons of shrubbery. Slash said shrubbery, reap the rewards and then dig in every single spot, more ruppees. Then leave the screen, come back and everything will be regrown. Instant Ruppeier.

4-Luigi's Mansion. GameCube. Sucking for your money is a time honored profession. The best of the best have earned their fortune by sucking, with a vaccum, and Luigi is no stranger to the practice. Equipped with his Poltergust 3000, he sucks up items, and of course ghosts. All of which give you glorious money. Mice ghosts give you the most mulla.

3-GTA: Vice City. PS2. Xbox. The Grand Theft Auto is series is known for making you feel as badass as you possibly can. Sure you can shoot people, run them over with your car and all but you can also get rich. You can buy a movie studio, and strip club. How will you fund these ventures you ask? Robbing people. While listening to The Flock of Seagulls.

2-Fable 2. Xbox 360. Let's say cheating isn't your thing but you want to earn some serious money. Fable 2 isn't the kind of game where you get rewarded for doing good, at least not financially. If you want to be rolling in the dough I suggest looking into the real-estate market right now. Fable2Land's housing market is doing much better than the IRL housing market. Now is the time to buy, and then charge your tenants way too much money for rent. Before you know it you'll be swimming in money while others can't afford bread, the way nature intended it to be.

1-Ducktales. NES. Ducktales is a game centered around making as much money as possible. In the game Scrooge McDuck must go through levels gathering as much treasure as possible. There's even an alternate ending for those who manage to earn 10,000,000.
