Look: 8/10 I really liked the simple graphics, it was fun to go beyond just text for games like this. I liked how the different weather had different graphics.
Sound: 8/10 The songs are catchy, and luckily, not too repetitive since they only play during certain parts. No annoying sound effects and whatnot, thankfully.
Play: 9/10 This really should be an 8, but because I consider this the best of the business simulation genre that I've played so far, plus how incredibly early it is (I played the 1979 port, but still...), this game deserves to be recognized. I had fun, played it a couple times, not to mention that there is multiplayer up to 30?! players allegedly that could be fun to compete and set a certain amount of days to see who wins out etc. It felt good to make more profit than the day before, and the days you lost revenue hurt. It was fun and simple, worthy of an hour's experimentation and goofing around. Perfect for this era of games.
Feel: 9/10 This was surprisingly fun, I'm usually not a big business simulation guy, and I plan to skip most games like that during this chronological …

Feel: 9/10 This was surprisingly fun, I'm usually not a big business simulation guy, and I plan to skip most games like that during this chronological playthrough of videogames so I don't get bogged down with too many on my backlog (already dangerously close to 2000 games on my backlog lol smh at myself)--but this game really surprised me. I found it much more enjoyable than Hamurabi, probly because the mathematics weren't so simple and frustrating--instead, fluid and logical.
Attachment: 8/10 I more likely than not will replay this or show this to other people for multiplayer goof-arounds. This, along with Oregon Trail text-version, stand out among the early games I've tried so far. The fact I already replayed it a couple times with different mindsets and business plans shows that this game is a stand out!
