The Godfather puts you into the action of the legendary films. After a life of small-time jobs and petty thefts, you are accepted into the Corleone family.
Based upon the 1972 film The Godfather, the game follows a non-canon character, Aldo Trapani (who can be renamed by the player), who is recruited into the Corleone family and works his way up its ranks while seeking revenge against his father's killers. The story of the game intersects with the film on numerous occasions, depicting major events from Aldo's perspective, or showing him perform actions that happened off-screen; for example, he avenges Bonasera's daughter, kills Luca Brasi's assassin, drives Vito Corleone to the hospital after he is shot, plants the gun for Michael Corleone to kill Sollozzo and Captain McCluskey, and places the horse's head in Jack Woltz's bed. Although the game was condemned by Francis Ford Coppola, who claimed Paramount never told him about its development or asked for his input, it does feature voice acting from several stars of the film, including James Caan as Sonny Corleone, Robert Duvall as Tom Hagen and Abe Vigoda as Salvatore Tessio. Marlon Brando also recorded dialogue for Vito Corleone, in what would be his final acting job, but his ill health made most of his recordings unusable.

How to play on Windows
Only black screen appears when open the game.
I did everything as per the steps you mentioned. There’s one pop-up that comes every time I try to open the game saying “The code execution cannot proceed because d3dx9_27.dll was not found” What to do with this?
