Want the name of an old business simulation game
« on: September 27, 2008, 06:22:17 pm »
I think it was in the mid 90s when I played it. Back then I didn't even know much English, so naturally I couldn't remember the name. In the game you would rent a building and turn it into a factory. complete with conveyor belts, machines, offices and storage areas (which look like those small wooden platforms transported by forklifts). I still remember if you assign an office personnel to a machine, he or she might get stuck instide. Quite funny to look at, actually. The view was top-down. I'm pretty sure that I ran the game on Windows 95, although it was probably designed for 3.x.
Any ideas?

Wow, exactly. Thanks!
So it wasn't completely top-down.... Whatever. It's been too long.

From those screenshots, it looks like there's a top-down mode and an isometric view.

Curse you bay12 forums for helping my find awesome retro games that put today's shitware to shame.

Seriously, these kind of old games could be developed at the speed of light now. Yet for some reason we focus on fancy smansy graphics and physics.
