One of the best business simulations I know. You can choose between a few various products to sell. You start in an area like Normandy in France or something with $5,000,000.-. Your goal is to become the industry giant of the world or europe or anything. You can choose between lots of maps and worlds. Every area has its properties.
You can upgrade your products, for example, if you choose to produce and sell computers, you can upgrade the monitor, the Hard Disk Drive and more. |

You can upgrade on size, price and much more!
It's a realistic and very detailed game, with very good aspects. Extra things, like opportunities to get money from the government or sabotage other companies give a very realistic feeling. I was impressed by this game. I love to play business simulations and this one is really one of the best I've ever played. I'd really recommend this one to business simulation fans! Check it out! |

Entrepreneur is a business simulation (as one can likely glean from the title) that was both produced and published by Stardock Systems Incorporated. It was released for play on the personal computer running the Windows operating system in the late nineties. It plays from the top down point of view and is generally categorized as a managerial game. It spawned a sequel entitled The Corporate Machine.
The point of the game is to make money. The avenue for this venture will be a computer business, which you will build from the ground up. You will then engage in corporate warfare with your opposition and basically try to take over the world using finances as your weapon. The world is divided into regions, which you can view from a comprehensive world map in your headquarters. You begin in a single region and are basically monopolizing the market in that region. You will expand to other regions as your power and influence grows, eventually hoping to possess the world.
To do this, you will have to be a master at micromanagement. You will build headquarters in each region you invade. You will have to make offices to control the business end of your corporation and factories to create the products. You will perform market research so that you know what direction your business ventures should take. This will tell you what consumers want their products to look like, what features they want to see, and even what aspects of your product will be valued as reputation or prestige makers. Then you will have to acquire the resources, both financial and physical, to manufacture the product. Finally, you will have to market it to the public and do it all better than your opposition if you want your business to blossom. Of course, like real business, there are some less than nice avenues you can travel also. It is perfectly possible to sabotage the competition by calling in favors from the underground. You can spread rumors about the competition to dissuade buyers from purchasing their products over yours.
The majority of the game is spent making decisions that are listed above, however, there is one interesting little monkey wrench thrown into the equation. Every so often you will receive an action card, which is basically an opportunity to do something that usually costs you time or money for free. This could either give you a bonus or help to destroy the competition. |
