Finally this absolute classic from my youth is available on steam and I thought I couldn't be happier. However, there seem to be significant bugs. Espionage never seems to be available, all illegal activities seem to be bugged to always fail, and a lot of tool tips have removed most nuance from the game. It's almost as if this kid's game has been made even more for kids. I'm glad I could get back to this game, but I wish the adaptation was focused less away from making it a neutered experience.

Another wacky light business sim from LavaMind. Probably the best of the bunch though Zapitalism has more character. Still to random to be a serious sim, but, that isn't the point of this game. The point of this game is, like all it's kindred, silly fun.
