ConsoleMe — Is It Worth Playing?

About ConsoleMe

Build a Studio. Build an Empire. Lead a Nation. Most business sims stop when you get rich. ConsoleMe starts there. Begin in 1984 with a small game development studio and a dream. Create hit games, launch consoles, hire staff, and survive the brutal realities of the gaming industry. As your success grows, so do your ambitions. Build a business empire spanning multiple industries. Acquire companies, invest in stocks, own football clubs, expand your influence, and shape entire markets. And if wealth is not enough? Enter politics. Write manifestos, fight elections, pass legislation, form a government, and if you rise high enough, become Prime Minister. One save. One journey. One story. Your story. Build a Studio Every great empire starts somewhere. Start with a small team and build a studio capable of competing with the biggest names in gaming history. Create games across multiple decades, develop new technology, launch your own consoles, build successful franchises, and guide your company through changing markets and industry trends. Hire staff, manage teams, grow your reputation, and turn a small startup into a global gaming powerhouse.

Serve in opposition, propose legislation, influence public opinion, and work your way toward the highest office in the land. If you earn the trust of voters, you may even become Prime Minister. Politics is fully integrated into the same world as your businesses and studios. Decisions made in government can affect the economy, taxation, regulation, and the companies you own.

Your wealth affects your influence. Your influence can affect politics. And political decisions can affect the businesses you own. First you worry about payroll. Then competitors. Then shareholders.
