Every time I get the highest points in each category the "oh no we had equipment failure, we're up and running but we lost some points" message pops up, EVERY time. out of 140 developed, 55 had this happen to. I owned another similar game & that had more modes where you could hire multiple teams & work on MUPTIPLE games at once, same with having ability to create a console, graphics,software etc. This game lacks a lot of content that make these types of games engaging and wanting to come back.

Repetitive, but fun! I like getting to discover new game genres/types and matching them up to see how well the final product performs. I wish we could see a full list of them to see what I'm missing, though. It's rough saving up for console licenses, especially in the first 20 years when consoles are constantly phasing in and out. Just save up and wait for the best console share-wise. Also, I can't find/train any software engineers to make my own console. Hiring/firing needs improvement.

Got this while it was free. I love that no permissions nor personal information are requested. Can be played off-line, and you can return to it whenever you want without missing out on anything. Definitely repayable, but I can also see that it gets repetitive, especially during the first 10 game years. Definitely a keeper.
