Do you have visions of nubile nymphets and repulsive magnates doing mega deals over breakfast on the wind-swept South Fork patio? If so, this program has almost nothing to do with it, apart from pinching the music!

It's basically a simulation of oil discovery, well development, and oil production which, if successfuly, results in your taking over Euing Associates (sic). If you fail, they take you over.

Strangely, the program doesn't auto-run when loaded. When run it reveals a map of an area near Dallas with grid co-ordinates, together with lots of financial/production info.

You can survey the plots for oil before they come up for auction. If you bid high enough, you then start on the rather long-winded process of well development.
