IndustryPlayer - Corporate War!

From Version 1.0 to Version 3.70 (370 releases) in just under three years, can only be described as meteoric developmental progress - new material and novel options in every bug-free release - and there are more on the way! V4.0 is being BETA tested now! I have played IP from the first week it was released in 2003 and am still playing it. With Version 2 came Corporate Trusts, (groups of players in Clans). With Version 3 came corporate war, with the introduction of hostile take-over bids possible by competitor companies, should you take your eye off your credit rating. CEO's compete in a dynamic market place, manufacturing and selling their products in real time to fellow players in an ever-changing economy. Mastering the highest financial returns requires some smart manoeuvres. Liquidations - necessary to remain competitive - must be carefully orchestrated too, to avoid bankrupting your empire. As CEO, you will experience hiking interest rates, fast or slow sales depending on your strategy savvy, fierce competition for market share, rewards for intelligent synergy of your products, strike action, insurance costs, dynamic taxation rates, natural disasters (floods, fires and typhoons) and spikes or slumps in demand, which all impact upon your portfolio's performance. Keeping your finger firmly on the market pulse is tantamount to ranking your empire No. 1 on the eternal high score board. Fresh, crisp graphics and plenty to think about make this business simulation a unique experience and one you will come back to again and again - very addictive and mega fun. A longstanding avid fan ... Dinger.
