Game Review 1 (written by Pjk1966) Added on: 12/21/2006
Free Enterprise is a wonderfully diverse production and marketing simulation. You control almost every attribute of your newly formed corporation, and can select your starting point from a range of US cities of varying populations and floor space rents. You select your initial production building, product type, raw material inventory, production, product inventory, sales, marketing, research and many other aspects of your staffing requirements.
The game provides interfaces for just about every aspect of running a company and lets you select different starting and running criterion that alters the difficulty and performance of the game.

You can do market research along the way to help you determine what products you want to produce and sell based on the current market.

lack the ability to predict future market trends, but if you keep you wits about you and monitor the market you should be able to put your business skills into practice and determine which products will be in demand in the future.
The game also allows research of new technology.
Simply add a new production machine and fulfil your staff requirements every month and you will be making 8 figure profits in no time (that’s +$10M). The game also allows a time management selection; you can automatically perform normal operations for time frames of one day to one year.
At the fastest setting one year can go by in a matter of minutes and with a fully equipped small factory you can expect to make upwards of $5 Million per year.
This game is highly underrated and should receive more commendations for its gaming satisfaction. Many games do not include the level of sophistication this game provide the user, and any trading or manufacturing gamers will really enjoy.
If you simply like a level of user administration in your simulation software than this game is for you. No matter what type of game you regularly play, you must try this game. It won’t disappoint.
Have fun with this game, there are many ways to play and many products to produce and sell.
You are only limited by your own ability to manage the company.

Game Review 2 (written by Campex) Added on: 10/15/2006
Tsunami Media released Free Enterprise in the early to mid nineties as shareware as part of one of those “20 in 1” demo CD’s we all love as part of a magazine. While today it appears very few people have ever heard or touched Free Enterprise, (except yours truly, as you’re reading this), it is one of the first, if not the first, business simulators that still manages to relate to today’s styling. It’s clearly designed for the “new” Windows 95 system. Free enterprise boasts strategic planning and cunning against the competitors that may remind you of similar titles like “Capitalism”, another business simulator.
When you start the game you are faced with the options of scenario, where you are given criteria to fill and a certain amount of money, or sandbox mode, where you start your business from scratch and build up your factory. There is also the option of Quick Start, where the game starts the basics of your game for you and you take control.
You are given the option to play in any city in the United States of America that you like, and can base the decision on average land-cost of that city, and other criteria. Once you have your city down-pat, you choose an empty property to rent and instantly you’re away. You’re taken to the planning mode, where you build the offices and machinery in your business. Hire and fire your staff, and read your memos. What makes it fantastic is as soon as you go to real-time (the length of which, you determine) you get a great 3D view of the factory.
Your employees are invaluable to your success and care should be taken to ensure they are happy and healthy. If you don’t place safety zones near machinery they’ll be sucked straight in and mangled… not a great way to start. If you don’t offer them appropriate freedoms, such as smoking areas or breaks, their stress levels will increase. You may even discover an employee or two will go postal one morning if they’re pushed too far. If none of that appeals to you, turn on the robot employee function, that’ll learn them!
There are many factors that the player has to take control of, some of which can be disabled for the rookie player. Once you feel you have the strategic planning skills, go all in and try it in difficult settings. This is a fantastically advanced game for it’s time with amazing potential and great replay value. Though you may eventually tire of it, you’ll find that if you go back to it a few months later, you’ll be hooked again.
I strongly recommend this game!
