I remember we had to play this game in high school, back in 1983. I had a political science teacher who thought this was a very clever game. He was fascinated with the primitive simulations that were available then. There was another one where we had to manage a restaurant, buying ingredients and selling meals. I did very well with that one. Funny how everything became a lot more sophisticated within 10 years. 1983 was still the era of personal computers that had 16 to 32 k.
