Ever fancied running your own business? You know the sort of
thing... armed only with your £5,000 bank loan, and a number
of advisors, you set out to make your mark on industrial Britain.
Too risky? Fortunately, this text-based simulation lets you play out
exactly this business scenario without having to suffer any real
sleepless nights.
Your goal is simply to try and make a profit, or avoid bankrupcy,
in a set time. You are offered helpful advice by your managers,
covering all aspects of your business, including production, marketing,
transport and accounts. You must then decide how much money and resources
to allocate in the different areas of the business. Oh, of course, the advice
doesn't come free!
If you enjoyed ruling your country in King (one of the programs supplied
with your BBC) or Hmrabi, then you will find this quite gripping.
Obviously the business simulation is not quite up to the level of
Executive Suite on an IBM-PC, but I am sure any marketing man
will have a challenge sorting out his market strategy on level nine!
Rank novices should start on level zero. Needs O.S. 1.2.
