60 of 73 · most liked firstI played a ton of this 20 years ago. This was the proper conglomerate simulator - you start off with a pile of cash and start setting up firms. You could choose to simply be an import shop that sold port goods to local cities, you could start vertically integrating up the manufacturing chain to source raw materials and build factories to get your product to market, you could start horizontally integrating to buy out your opponents and achieve 100% market share in various goods. If you don't…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is great... but the steam version is not. So, I cannot recommend it. This steam version simply launches a DosBox windows, there is no porting at all. The main reason for the thumbs down, is that there is no music. Original game music was cool and somehow has been left out of the game, probably because it was a big effort to port the CD tracks into this DosBox version. I bought the game in a sale only for 2.99€ but, even so, I feel disappointed, as I was expecting to buy the full game…

In this detailed and realistic business simulation you can run a business however you want to make or lose as much money as you can. I played this when I was a young teenager when it first came out. Ended up going to business school and becoming an investor. This game was relevant decades ago, and is still relevant today. It should be mandatory for all kids to play this game, and indeed the game has been used in top business universities. Some original…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Back in the day, I played this game for hundreds of hours. This was my go-to game for a couple of years. Here's what I like most about this game..using bullet statements for clarity. --This is a deep, complex economic simulation, that remains accessible and playable. --With more than 60 product types, there is room to try a number of different strategies..a virtual unlimited combination of products to develop and sell --The research for each product adds a new dimension to the game. Building…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Capitalism is one of my favorite games of all time, vastly better than the standard tycoon game, it's dated graphics notwithstanding. It teaches you the basics of supply chain management, product segmentation, and the power of vertical integration. It even manages to illustrate the basics of fundraising through stock offerings. However, it's not as full-featured as Capitalism 2, which will hopefully be available on Steam soon. Endlessly entertaining. 4/5
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, finaly on steam!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies. Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had trouble loading a saved game, do it through steam and not through the capitalism shortcut on your desktop.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This isn't "Plus" in any way shape or form - this is Capitalism Minus. Completely mis named in the hope of catching out those who played the original. In the original you could build an empire consisting of many different areas - farming, mining, manufacturing and then sell the produced goods.......in this version you have to choose just one area and everything is then locked into that one specific area. Remember having farms producing beef and manufacturing producing cars? Then you need…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best Economics simulations that you can get. Played it first in 1996 and i still love it 11 years later. Brings back really nice memories.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nostaligically awesome, one of the first management type games I ever played... Really would prefer Capitalism 2 but for a 4.49 I enjoyed my purchase.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Play one of the oldest professions of the world, the investor. There will always be markets, even when it's just precious metals like buying gold or land, the neverending bull market that goes on since over 1000+ years. Do you have strong or weak hands? Can you defeat your biggest enemy, the emotions of you and your surrounding? Do you want to see how S & P 500 always goes up over a timespan of the last 150+ years? Do you want to get a deeper knowledge of possible scenarios in the stock market?…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember when this first came out. I tried getting my local economics teacher to play this to see just how detailed and awesome it was showing true buisness mechanics.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Are you going to put out Capitalism lab? And if when? PLus is missing the mark by a mile.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OK, first off, I own the original Mac version back in 1996, this game is a fun game with a lot of great stratagy and business finance in it. As a pure game, especially on my old Mac, it was a lot of fun to play. But this outdated DOS version is terrible. Nowhere does it say it's a DOSBox emulatated version. No one took any time or effort in optimizing it or doing anythign to make it play better on newer Windows machines, so you're essentually playing the original 1995 DOS version of the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Obviously a little before my time, but it is quite addicting! I really enjoy games like this. Unfortunately, I am not too good at this game, but I can learn from it. One thing I learned is that becoming a tech company is difficult. Sell beds! Lots of them. tl;dr game is older than me and it's tons of fun, seriously.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →money money money But seriously, if you like economics in the slightests, and like simulation games, there is a good chance youd like this game. The only thing I didnt like about it is that the best way to make money is with the Department store, everything else will become a money drain if you don't do it exactly right. Also the CPU, even on easy, will do a million things a minute and all at once, so when a new city come up, they already have 5 stores making profits within seconds. And…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →87MB of capitalistic glory! Great game from the past that is still one of the best business simulators on the market. Thrilled to see this on Steam!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Essentially, this is a very minimalistic version of your more modern, micromanagement-style business tycoon games. Considering its release date, it is surprisingly deep and fairly well made. However, I cannot recommend this game, or more accurately put, the Steam version of this game. This isn't optimized to run well on modern systems; it crashed on me a few times. Considering its retail price, you expect some effort to be put into such optimizations or include some modernities but…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this game when it first came out and loved it! Still do.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great little game thanks.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good for what it is. can be somehwat frustrating when it glitches but not all that bad for what you pay
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An amazing tool to help give you the experience of running a business. There is quite a bit of educational value in this hard but fun game. Please bring labs to steam...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →love this game. Compares to other business "clicker" mobile games, this one feels real. Uses realistic $$$ amounts which adds to the realism. For example you're not gonna build a mine when you're only business is a hardware store. Unless you want to go bankrupt. That's anther thing that feels real. There's competition in this game. You have to be careful or you will lose money and go bankrupt! There's no time pressure since you can slow the game down as much as you want. Just strategy…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a badly updated "port" of the old Capitalism Plus game from the 1990s, running in DOSBOX. It's just too dated for me to recommend this. The developers are gouging $8.50 for abandonware for the sake of cashing in on nostalgia.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not the best port for windows 10 users needs fix for it to not be in window but if you can get past that it is as excellent as you remember it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great business simulator. From farms to factories to shops. I ussually start with strawberries and try to beat the riches man on earth. Complexed but easy to learn .
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great fun, just takes a while to learn
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite all of its flaws, which are in good part due to its age, it still easily beats any of today's simplistic "business sims". If you can stand the terrible graphics and dated game mechanics, go for it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Used to play hundreds of hours of CapWin when I was at university. In terms of economy and capitalisation this is one of the best games ever. Reource ominance, building an empire in time and some patience is crucial. Work in newer versions of windows, without a seperate DosBox. A definate buy - not for the grafics (which were outdated even when released), but for the game play. The graphics and flowcharts in the game are more than adequate...and the follow up (Capitalisation II) is graphically…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, I just wish there was a game like this with better UI. Its annoying to navigate around the map and link multiple buildings together.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It took me a long time to get to a place where I understood enough about this game to be competent at it. Thank you to all of you that wrote game play guides as they were a life saver. I will say that this game was enjoyable, intolerable, and fun all at the same time. If you do buy this game, which I would recommend, know that the learning curve is steep and the time suck is real, but it is a lot of fun. This game is a classic simulation/strategy game of the 1990s where there are no real…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played this game offline way before i bought it on steam (sooner or later i'll lose the CD so i figured "what the heck" and bought it here too), it is fun and can sometimes be challenging. If you can't compete with the competition, buy their stock and take them over, or try to insert yourself into their supply chain, or buy their stuff and make better products. The options are quite wide. I have tried Cap2 but i didn't enjoy it as much as this game. If you want superb graphics and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →On first-run you'll just get full flickering black screen. Press Alt-Enter immediately to switch to windowed mode. Works on Windows 7 64-bit. Great gem of a business simulation; more in-depth than Capitalism II especially in setting up farming for crops. Need to consider soil fertility, rainfall and climate in order to select the best location to build a farm. Also harvesting and planting seasons need to be taken into account so that the farm can be built at the correct time. Best part about…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wanna be a billionaire? Sell beds This is a business sim that has a Vaporwave atmosphere. Images, player portraits etc. all of them are straight outta 90s. This is aesthetically pleasing for me. Guess why? Because the game is older than me. Lol And I play this game while listening to Vaporwave songs. Well I finished the tutorials and completed the first scenario, so I think I can review this game. First things first. It is not very detailed but has more details than most modern…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i played 2 and now i try this and its just horible! Dont buy ! ui is bad, worst game ever. buy 2 dont touch 1
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is terrible. Do not buy as it is full of bugs and setting up anything is extremely time consuming with very little reward.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its A Fantastic Game For Its Time Period But With Tech How It Is Now Its Just To Outdated That Is Why I Give It A Thumbs Down But Other Then That This Is A Great Game i Would Say That This Game Needs To Be Brought Into The 21st Centry And Then It Would Be Even Better
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great economic strategy game if you can get over the ancient visuals. Definitely worth it for fans of Paradox strategy games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For its time, it was definitly a nice game. If you can look over the more than dated graphics, its still pretty nice and can keep you bussy for a bit. Would wish that there was a remake of this with a new look and more functions.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not as good as versions for older PCs
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is an efficient depiction of company level economis. And the dev just updated it, 30+ years after release !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game incidentally taught me Rockefeller's predatory tactics for market domination. I learnt all sorts of fun concepts like predatory pricing, price gouging, vertical integration, I didn't allow my competitors to thrive one bit. I controlled every last part of a supply-chain production process. The only features it's missing is bribery of politicians and Trust formation. If my competitors were selling products for retail, they'd buy the manufactured good directly from me. They were poor…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An amazing game but doesn't seem compatible with Windows 10. I've run over a dozen combination of compatibility tests and I continue to get file verification errors. Review changed on March 13, 2022, to a thumbs up. It runs now on Windows 10. Thank you, Capitalism Plus!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Strategy game of money, power and wealth. Monitor your business performance against competitors, plot your strategy, even engineer hostile take-overs. Deal with the kind of events that keep real CEOs on their toes - riots, disease, technological breakthroughs and more. Game designed by Trevor Chan, in which you are a budding entrepreneur that wants to make big money in the world of business. It's what I like to call a 'spreadsheet game', in which numbers are a big thing. It's all about making…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This doesn't have the company headquarters so you can't buy technologies from other companies as far as I know, nor will it let you save and use factory templates -- I think those features came out in Capitalism 2. Otherwise this is a ton of fun! Playing the stock market is the most realistic I've seen in any game - it will teach value buying. Then stomp everyone out there with your vastly superior products! The AI is pretty good too. It's better to wait for the later versions of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has no sense... just time wasting.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an old game that teaches accurately the financial incentives and rewards that come from organizational skills in business (capitalism version).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Capitalism Plus is a classic business simulation developed by Enlight Software and published by Retroism that continues to stand as one of the most ambitious management games ever created. Rather than simplifying the corporate world into a collection of easy-to-understand mechanics, the game embraces complexity and challenges players to build a business empire from the ground up. From operating retail stores and manufacturing facilities to controlling supply chains and investing in research,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoy playing but I have played a version of Capitalism with multiple versions of shops. That was better but I have not found that version Thanks Daniel
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best market/business simulator ever. Goated.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love Capitalism 2 and Capitalism Lab, just bought it for completion. It offers nothing special compared to Capitalism 2...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great economic simulation game! Perfect for the 90s vibe!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →1) A DosBox is opened 2) No configuration, no sound. 3) Savegames just disappear. 4) I have two older copies of this game (CD, download) and both run better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Most educational simulation on business I've seen yet. Beware the first scenario (Entrepreneur Spirit) has a rating of 30, but the second scenario (The Emerging Dragon) has a rating of 60. In my personal opinion there is a large learning gap between the first and second scenario, this gap could have been filled with more 30 scenarios or 40s and 50s. I find myself struggling with the second scenario so much that I just spend time fiddling in the first scenario.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good retro game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playing this game for the first time in 2023. Its a complex and very enjoyable strategy game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my fav game of all times, with realistic setting and complex features, this game will never die even if it's more 20 years old sadly the bug is beyond playable, if you want play this game i recommended turn off the "random events" and "city appared in games", they both made my game crash... turn it off and you will experience smooth gameplay but it will make the game lose is VUCA details
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Old but nice game for oldies like me...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →aprendi mas con este juego que en la universidad. Este tipo de juegos ya no se hacen :( los graficos son muy antiguos y las fotos son claramente de los 80. ai lograran sacar una ver actualizada, seria un gran juego. Aun asi lo recomiendo
