I loved Cap and Cap 2, and yeah sadly there's not a huge number of games in the same vein. Wall Street Raider from ronin software: http://www.roninsoft.com/wsrnew.htm is sorta on the same track. The new windows version is pretty slick and has some nice improvements, but I still have a soft spot for the frenzy of the old dos version. Shareware. Finding juicy companies to dismember is a way faster route to profits than building up, but hey, the other option is there at least ;) And lavamind: http://www.lavamind.com with Gazillionaire, Zapitalism and Profitania. I played the original Gazillionaire back in the day, a lot like Space Bucks (trading game) IIRC. It was fun for a bit, but I didn't play it for days like Cap. Their Zapitalism and Profitania do look like they have more manufacturing and retailing. I always meant to try em out, but without a demo to suck me in, I never actually got around to it... -- And then when I get out I will grab a sword like Maximus Meridius Demidius and as a Gladiator I will stab people in the crotch." - US House Representative Jim Traficant (D-Ohio)(Expelled)
