help Capitalism Plus FAQ

Who developed the business simulation game Capitalism Plus?

Capitalism Plus was developed by Enlight Software, a company founded by Trevor Chan, and originally released in 1996 for PC. Chan is well-known for his deep, complex strategy games, with Capitalism being his flagship economic simulator. The game was published by Interactive Magic.

How is Capitalism Plus different from the original Capitalism game?

Capitalism Plus is an expanded version of the original 1995 Capitalism game, adding new scenarios, improved multiplayer capabilities, and a more detailed economic system. It introduced the ability to set up corporate empires in specific historical eras and included a "macroeconomic" engine that better simulated inflation and economic cycles. Essentially, it took the already complex corporate simulator and added even more strategic depth.

What industries can you manage in Capitalism Plus?

In Capitalism Plus, players can manage a vast array of industries, ranging from agriculture and mining to manufacturing, retail, and high-tech research and development. You can build a vertically integrated empire, such as owning the farms that grow the crops, the factories that process them into food, and the supermarkets that sell them. The game allows you to control every step of the supply chain.

Is Capitalism Plus still playable on modern PCs?

Yes, Capitalism Plus is available for purchase on GOG.com, where it has been updated to run smoothly on modern Windows operating systems. The GOG release often includes both the original Capitalism and Capitalism Plus in a bundled package. This makes it easily accessible for fans of classic simulation games without needing emulation software.
