    Its a really fun game that makes fun of the oil industry and its influences on politics, its relatively challenging when you hit 2020 as you've used all the world's oil up and have to make due. I made it 2197 before the world went ballastic over the market cycle (supply increases or meets the demand, then demand increases and supply cannot increase. GDP falls and dissent will visibly rise as the GDP begins to fall)

    Its a relatively well thought-out game that desires a spotlight in the realm of flash gaming.

    Yeah, I played that years ago... pity that it is deliberately set up for you to lose.

    To be realistic, you have to lose. The game doesn't end until the market goes ballastic as you can't meet demand, but if you play your cards right you can last a very long time (keep a steady pace with supply and demand, don't let it go wild or you will lose the game)

    I consumed the oil a tad fast, and ww3 hit in the 2050s. I was freakin rich though.
