Play Acquire online

Acquire (1989, DOS) brings boardroom drama to your DOS screen, turning you into a hotel tycoon in a game where the real enemy is... math. It's a faithful adaptation of the classic board game, complete with mergers, hostile takeovers, and the slow crushing realization that your cousin bought all the good stocks before you. There’s no real animation, but who needs graphics when you’ve got dividends? A sleeper hit for fans of capitalism and grid-based ruthlessness.
