It works best if you leave it alone, which isn't exactly conducive to fun! Though I let it run overnight. Went to bed with $100K and woke up with $500K! That should let me have some fun with it!

I used to play video games all the time. Not so much any more. But I could not resist. I have been working with the game for a few hours, but I can't figure out how to actually get it to sell any beer. I got a brewhouse and fermentation and bottling and warehouse and everything. But never do any sales come. So far, the game is not terribly intuitive. And beer is brewed and fermented all within a day, so it's not the most realistic, either. One thing that is realistic is that you can blow $100K easily and lose almost immediately. Maybe if I figure out how to make it work, I'll let you know. I had to get a copy.

I like a good computer game, done well. But I'd only buy this if the gameplay was good, the subject matter alone isn't enough! So I wait with baited breath for Lupulo's review... I dunno.

To create a quality microbrewery and take over industrial giants.... In a virtual world everything is possible, isn't it?hehehehehe BTW, Lupulo made a little review yesterday in CAAC... he's beer geek enough to buy it asap so I let you know how the game is in a few days Haya salud But Imagine for just a sec that you could do it the other way round.

Can still be fun, though.... I wonder if you can buy other breweries in other countries and ruin their brands in order to make your europivo more alluring to the marketing hypnotized public....
