As Addictive As SimCity "Gazillionaire gets to be as addictive as the ever-popular SimCity, but it's easier to pick up, thanks to a top-notch on-screen tutorial that lets you learn at your own pace." -- HomePC Magazine
4 STARS "If you've dreamed of becoming an extra-terrestrial Trump, Gazillionaire is the answer to your greedy little prayers." -- Computer Life Magazine
84% "It's addictive; you just can't stop yourself from visiting just one more planet." -- PC Gamer Magazine

Best Strategy Game "The best strategy shareware game of 1996" -- PC Computing Magazine
3.5 STARS "Addictive game-play; engagingly funky graphics; lots of on-line help." -- CD-ROM Today
91% "This is a good example of a simple, straightforward design that was not ruined by marketing people." -- Tasos Kaiafas, CGR Magazine
"Gazillionaire is an oddball financial sim that's economically sound (working off time-tested principles of supply and demand) and incurably silly."-- PC Games Magazine
Best On-line Tutorial "Gazillionaire has the best on-line tutorial I have ever seen on a game." -- Computer Currents
"Take a very random economic market replete with bizarre alien commodities subject to a wicked supply/demand curve, and mix in an element of Monopoly, minimal exploration, weird random occurrences (just to keep you off-balance) and cutthroat competition. That's the winning formula for Gazillionaire..." -- Computer Gaming World
Extremely Addictive "I'm a sucker for a game like Gazillionaire, from LavaMind." ... "Gazillionaire is an extremely addictive game." -- Computer Games Magazine
Finalist "Gazillionaire was a finalist in the 1997 Shareware of the Year Awards!" -- Ziff-Davis & Computer Gaming World
4 STARS "Gazillionaire will bring out the wily entrepreneur in anyone. Pssst! I hear it's a bargain at that price. " -- GamePower
Addictive and Educational "This game may not have a lot of flash--kids will stare at pricing charts a lot of the time--but it's one of the most addictive and educational business simulations around." -- FamilyPC Magazine
Great Game "Great game" ... "I like the sense of humor" -- Steven Spielberg
5 STARS "You have to keep your edge sharp with this game. It's a great game for the adventurous type." -- Tucows.com
This is sooo cool! "If this game was a record (remember those vinyl things -- like CD's only bigger) my daughter would have worn it out by now." -- KidsLikeOurs.com
4 STARS "This is a very strong educational experience." -- Children's Software Revue
This Game can be Addicting "This game can be addicting, as it is simple and fun while the player must maintain a level of guesswork and skill to be successful. So why let those squid-faced, lizard-headed competitors beat you to a cool profit in Kubars? The question is, have you got what it takes to be a GAZILLIONAIRE?" -- Happy Puppy
5 STARS "I am not a big fanatic of computer games. Frankly, Windows Solitaire is generally the most exciting game I play. That is, until I found Gazillionaire. Gazillionaire is like playing Monopoly with characters from Star Wars, but it's much more addictive than the Monopoly board game." -- SharewareJunkies.com
92% "Let's be frank: I love this game." ... "If you're looking for a smooth, friendly, quirky game to play with friends and family, this is it." -- Kevin Perry, CG Review
