Capitalist Pig
Capitalist Pig is one of the funniest - and most obscure - business simulations to hit the market in the early 1990s.
In this innovative game that foreshadows Capitalism Plus years later, your job is to build a company from scratch and turn it into a conglomerate. The game focuses more on the operational level of running a business, similar to Free Enterpri$e, than on the strategic level of Capitalism Plus. The first thing you have to do is fill an empty building with various departments: administration, marketing, etc. Then hire employees, launch the products and see how the money comes in. Of course, just like in real life, things don't always go as planned, and there are many random events that keep things interesting. These events range from macroeconomic news and world events, to company-specific accidents such as theft or fire (for which you can take out insurance). You'll also face the risk of embezzlement by employees you considered worthy, grueling tax audits, and even terrorist attacks. One of the nicest touches is the historically accurate world events of 1901 and 1991 that are incorporated into the model. Colorful animations, crisp cartoonish graphics and realistic sound effects add to the fun. The mouse-driven interface is also very easy to learn, and the difficulty is just right. Undoubtedly one of the most underrated games of its kind, Capitalist Pig is recommended to all business game enthusiasts. Two thumbs up!
Note: this download is the Macintosh version, which was more successful than the rarer PC version.
