I'm not sure I'm looking for a "strategy game" as such, but I want a really, really in depth, data based game. Something that goes as deep or deeper than FM. Deeper than Rollercoaster Tycoon. Far deeper than those.

I remember a while ago there was a game where you had to run some kind of business. Anyone here of that? No? Well I was just wondering if you know of any, or where to look for one.

It might sound boring, but it's less nerdy than some others on here...

Deeper than Rollercoaster Tycoon? I love that game but not sure I'd want it any more complicated.

I suppose you could try the Sims 2 or something. Never played it myself, it just seems like a game version of that terrible tv show - 'Large Brother' or something.

The king of deep games for me was Frontier Elite 2. Now that was class. Apart from the dodgy graphics, terrible collision detection, dodgy sound, terrible music and glitches. Still, class.

'Buy 10,000 tonnes of radioactive rubbish'
'You jettisoned 9,999 tonnes of radioactive rubbish - the police have been dispatched'
'YOU HAVE BEEN DESTROYED'

Brilliant.

The bowler hats and moustaches must have got in the way...

Also, if you turn on the TV and saxophone music is playing, you can bet it's porn.

Back in the day porno movies had no sound.

We had a small Irish man hold cards up with words such as 'Squelch' written on them and 'ah' also the occasional 'Thats a whole lot of bubba, biatch'.

Back in the day...

The music on it fits into the range of 'Back-music from dodgy 70's porn film involving woman with afro'.
