New Game Creates Land Barons In As Little As 30 Minutes

SPECULATOR - A Game Of Land Acquisition for IBM and Compatible Computers

April 1, 1993 -- Speculator, a new real estate strategy game is played
using maps depicting local or imaginary land areas. Each of the five maps
included is a unique game, providing different economic models. One screen
displays the entire map as 24 horizontal and 14 vertical "tiles" with a
maximum of 336 properties on a map. The human player competes against
three randomly picked computer players for limited investment
opportunities. Each computer player has its own unique strategy.

You purchase properties, start new companies, buy and sell stock, expand
companies, display company information, buy real estate blockers, read the
newspaper, view terrain information and get player information. Most games
last about 30 minutes.

As you acquire properties, they merge to form land holding companies. As
the land holding companies grow adjacent to each other, they will merge
with only one company remaining. The player with the most assets when the
game ends is the winner.

The starter game is fully functional with five maps and 37 screens of
on-line help. Additional map sets may be purchased. Each map set includes
a 40 page rule book with strategy guide, reference card, the latest
version of the program, more than 20 new maps over a dozen new computer
opponents and a unique set of properties & buildings. There are currently
four additional map sets available. "Ancient Tymes" - compete with ancient
heroes on maps from early history, "County Side" - grow your own
agri-business across the land, "Mooned Puzzles" - solve geographic &
economic puzzles in Sci-Fi land and "Slick Cities" -develop your favorite
United States city.

Speculator requires an IBM compatible computer, 512K RAM, color graphics
video and DOS 3.0 or later.

The Speculator program is available directly from WestWorld for $5.00, or
