Capitalism

About

Capitalism is a 1995 business strategy game where you manage a company from the CEO’s desk. Buy assets, set prices, and adjust production to outmaneuver rival firms in markets like manufacturing, real estate, and banking. The goal is simple: grow your net worth while avoiding bankruptcy or hostile takeovers. Each decision impacts cash flow and market share. Players track industry trends, balance debts, and time mergers to stay ahead of AI competitors. The game’s sharp focus on financial mechanics and long-term planning sets it apart. Though over 25 years old, its systems for modeling supply chains and market competition remain detailed for its era. A small but dedicated player base still discusses strategies online, and some modern business simulators cite it as influence. The lack of hand-holding means mistakes hurt, but that’s part of the appeal for players who enjoy cold, calculating strategy.
