In the beginning computer games were simple, and nobody laughed at them no matter how goofy they were because they were like magic. It was amazing to be able to hook a device up to your TV and play games on it no matter how strange the games might be. This was an age of discovery and creativity for the video/computer game. Systems with more RAM, colors and processing power opened the imagination doors for programmers. "C'est La Vie" is one of the early and creative attempts to do new and interesting things with games on the computer. You play a regular Joe who goes around (like Pac-Man) collecting money. You need to avoid thugs and a tax collector who take your money. You take your money to the band and buy stocks at the various buildings in the game. If you hit the walls you get hurt and need to go to the hospital, and that costs money. So the object of the game is to make as much money as you can (greed is good). An apt subject especially for the 80's, 1983 to be exact. This game is smooth, kinda fun, and funny as hell. I think my favorite part about "C'est La Vie" is that it's like adult Pac-Man and has a level of sophistication... Well it's more complicated than Pac-Man anyhow. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I like Pac-Man a bit more, but all in all "C'est La Vie" is good and worth a play for a laugh, or as the kids say "The Lulz". Well... Such is life.
