Simulation Games!
73. Capitalism II
Take a small start up company and turn it into an enterprise!
Get ready to build a store, manage a product set, manage supply and demand trends, make marketing decisions, figure out delivery and storage of products, there are a nearly infinite number of things you'll have to monitor.
Capitalism II is not for the casual simulation game player. This is an extraordinarily hard game to beat! If you are used to simulation games which you can beat in just a few hours, this one you will find to challenge you more than you have been in any simulation before. The learning curve is steep, even with the friendly layout, because of the sheer volume of information which is available.
Don't let the daunting interface scare you off though, if you are willing to spend some time learning this game, you will not only have a great time... but even learn a lot in the process.
Since Capitalism II is an accurate model of the real world, it will seem complicated, but super enjoyable as you grow to understand more and more. One helpful feature is the Entreprenuer's mode. Essentially this is a tutorial to help you learn how to play and enjoy the game more.
This game is hands down the best game to simulate real economics and is even the basis of many college courses.
Challenging and rewarding play combined with real world economics make Capitalism II a winner!

"The big picture is that there are several dimensions on which Computer Games have effects; including the amount they are played, the content of each Game, what you have to pay attention to on the screen, and how you control the motions. Computer Games undeniably are but powerful Educational Tools and have many effects we might not have expected they could “(Gentile, 2008) ."

"If
doctors themselves say that Computer Games are indeed beneficial,
it is as well equally true for our young children. As early as 3
years old, our kids should be exposed in this kind of activity.
Parents should bear in mind that educational Computer Games for children are designed based on the rationale that Computer
