I wonder if the local cops come by and shut you down for operating without a permit?

Pish tosh. I was playing this exact same game on an Apple II/c in 1987, except it was just called Lemonade Stand then and the graphics have been upgraded slightly.

I remember my elementary school had that, the old version that is, as a math learning tool.

That game is pretty cool.

Oh man, the memories. Except that back then it use to fit on a single 5.25" floppy, and I can't even remember if it has sound or not. We played it on a monochrome monitor on our classroom Apple II, and I remember completely sucking at the game. 1) because I was just learning English back then, and 2) I could never make sense of the forecasts and fucked up all the ordering and pricing.

Is it a free download? I can't see any text one way or the other.

It's shareware. There's something like a 60 minutes limit on it too.

Figures. They never list the little details like paying for it or how much it costs
et cetera.

Of course. They want you to play a little, then pay a bunch of money to keep playing. Maybe you can find the game off another website.

!!! I love that game. One of the few times I made it to the end, I had killed all but one of my people and most of my supplies...

We had a tomato plant selling game as a math learning tool.

Heh...that's right. We were playing computer games BEFORE YOU WERE BORN (I've waited for YEARS to say something like that).

King of Dragon Pass is also a great game (not freeware tho)

I played Oregon Trail. I used to buy absurd numbers of bullets and spend most of the game hunting.

I also used to have the original Amazon Trail....

That was always incredibly fun for me, when I should have been learning some valuable skill from the game (such as don't cross deep rivers when you know you won't float).

I remember that game, and the funny thing is it's surprisingly hard to deliberately kill yourself. I once set out with no food at all and got halfway across before I died, and this is after wrecking my wagon by trying to ford a 20' deep river in full flood.

Oh..and I've been playing Oregon Trail since before you were born!
I feel so special when I can say something like that.

lol. shaddup old-timer, us youngins' are the future!

I never TRIED to kill myself, but my party would always fall asleep on a pile of poisonous snakes or something stupid like that. I never made it more than 3/4 of the way with all my members (and I only made it that far once)... I would never join a wagon that has me as it's leader

Bwahahaha, but it was so much FUN to do that.

Whoa... How did you manage that? I started out with like almost no food, put everyone on generous rations so it'd be gone, and forded every stream I came across. I didn't make it to even the first fort.

BTW, who knows where you can find a decent copy of it? Something more old school than some recent version I saw...original cool, but remakes still good.

God, I loved that original...
