| Not just a business simulation, this is one of the better business simulations I know! You start a company, rent a building to put your company in and you buy some machines. With these machines you produce products of your choice. Hire employees to take some of the work off your hands. Build offices to work in and hire managers and marketing people, sales persons and more people to put in those offices and do their work. |

Hire good, but expensive people. Hire cheap, but very low-skilled people, you choose. Build expensive offices in which people can perform very well. Build cheap offices in which people will work very slow, it's up to you. Buy cheap raw materials or very expensive ones. Change the sale prices. Make as much profit as you can.
A very well done game, with good graphics, fine gameplay, basic sounds and an average addictivity level, this makes a fine business simulation.
An extra plus point is the reality level. |

 There are so many options that you would almost think you are a real enterprise owner. |

Free Enterprise is a game that simulates the whole concept of production and marketing hence the title of the game. The game involves micro-management and is extremely fun to play.
The game will put you in the helm of a new corporation. You will have control over all the factors that will make the corporation big. First you will decide what city you will operate in. You will be the one to choose the office/production space. You will also start the company operation deciding every single thing involved in the process of production from the inventory, marketing, sales and research. You will even decide what products you will make. You will also set production schedules. It’s really like running your own company. You can monitor the market and based on your evaluation and guts decide what products will be in great demand in the future. Your goal of course is to grow the business into a big and profitable enterprise. Aside from these elements there are other factors that can affect your business. These factors are similar to issues and factors that affect the business climate in real life.
The game is a very satisfying game and it really deserves to be a classic even if it is not as poplar as the games in this site.
Of course the game is not exactly realistic even if it tries to provide real-world issues and elements in the game. It is so much easier to make a business grow in the virtual world than it is to build a huge enterprise in the real world. The steps that are followed in the game with regards to establishing a business are also not the steps that are usually followed in real-life. One of the major differences is how in the game you choose a building to rent first before you decide what products you will produce. This is not how you’re supposed to start a business in the real world.
Also in the game you receive memos that indicate how things are going in the game. This isn’t the case in real life. Unless you have keen instincts, the ability to really communicate effectively with people and the ability to read other people’s lives, you won’t always know what the exact problems in the company are or at least all the little problems.
The game is super fun that I highly recommend it. It’s always fun to imagine being in control of a multi-million dollar corporation and earning so much profit. |
