Merchant of Venus

Moby ID: 63027

Description

Twenty years after the extremists have unleashed their weapon of mass destruction, the life on Venus is returning to a normal state. The Galactic Trading Corporation is investing millions to restore its economy.

Merchant of Venus is a sci-fi space trading game. The player starts with 500,000 cash on hand (awarded by GTC) to buy a freighter and start their own business. Trading involves navigating between spaceports to exploit price variations, with manual landings (Lunar Lander style). Players can buy or sell ten different commodities (robots, raw materials, obligatory spice, etc.) and must keep their ship repaired and well-fueled.
