Ever fancied running your own business? You know the sort of thing... armed only with your £5,000 bank loan, and a number of advisors, you set out to make your mark on industrial Britain. Too risky? Fortunately, this text-based simulation lets you play out exactly this business scenario without having to suffer any real sleepless nights.

Your goal is simply to try and make a profit, or avoid bankrupcy, in a set time. You are offered helpful advice by your managers, covering all aspects of your business, including production, marketing, transport and accounts. You must then decide how much money and resources to allocate in the different areas of the business. Oh, of course, the advice doesn't come free!

If you enjoyed ruling your country in King (one of the programs supplied with your BBC) or Hmrabi, then you will find this quite gripping. Obviously the business simulation is not quite up to the level of Executive Suite on an IBM-PC, but I am sure any marketing man will have a challenge sorting out his market strategy on level nine! Rank novices should start on level zero. Needs O.S. 1.2.
