Advantages: Cathcy, Unique, Great shareware
Disadvantages: Expensive, poor full version, Bad graphics
Please note: I'm using shareware version:
********What is Gazillionaire Deluxe?********
Gazillionaire Deluxe is a business management game. Not a boring one like Business Tycoon, but one based in space.
********So do I need a ship in the game?********
Yep. But a wealthy man called Mr Zinn will lend you enough money to buy a ship of your choice. But you stilll have to pay him interest!
********The aim of the game is?********
To get more money than your competitors. You can do this by hirng a sabotager(when offered) to sabotage your competitors business. Byt be warned if you get caught doing this you can be fined!
********How do I make the money?********
Easy you buy and sell freight, carry passengers at a fee and bid(and hopefully) win on auctions for facilites on planets. If you get a facility it's like having a "house" on Monopoly, the oppenents get charged for going on the panet. And... if you want to buy freight at a good price get a fast engine so you can beat the competitor to the planet. And then put any money in the bank and get interest on it.
********How do I lose money?********
A list:
Point 1: Get to many crew to pay
Point 2: Filling up your fuel when you do not get enogh income
Point 3: Paying taxes
Point 4: Not getting insurance and your ship breaks down!
********Extra features********
Each planet has a planet special,
e.g. Pyke's planet special is it will let you buy a faster engine.
Other specials include having a blessing, giving your crew a holiday, asking for cheaper inusrance and taxes and there's a few more.
Alos, in the full version you can play a multiplayer version online.
********And if the goings get tough?********
Don't pay for your taxes and wages for a while or you could get a loan!
********The graphics?********
Are 2D and quite lame. They are cartoony like. The surprisingly catching even with such rubbish graphics!
********The price?********
The shareware game is free(off Lavamind.com) and would suggest you only play this version but the full version allows you to have more for one galxy and customizable planet. Also, the full version let you play up to a billion kubars, while the shareware version only lets you play up to 250,000 kubars whats about 30 mins play, before you have to restart!(the in-game currency are Kubars). The full version costs $35.98US(not worth it!)
********Conclusion********
Don't bother with the full version, just play shareware and don't let the graphics and sound put you off the game's super catchy!
********Alternatives********
Can't think of any for space business but business games are:
Capitalism 2 (4/5 in my view around £15)
Business Tycoon (2/5 in my view on Amazon Marketplace
