Its a factory simulation game not from Maxis and not called _Factory Mougl_ (only thing that came up in google). Its older than Factory Mougl, the graphics are pretty basic… I just remember playing it in study hall back in H.S. Any ideas? ---

When was “high school”? What kind of computer did it run on? ---

Well I guess it wasn’t _too_ old… I remember playing it in 2000 or so. It was in color and ran on windows 98 at least. ---

[QUOTE=clayton\_e] It was in color and ran on windows 98 at least. [/QUOTE] Hah, I don’t really have anything useful to contribute to this thread but I subscribed to it because I was curious as to what the game would look like because when you said “OLD PC game” with “OLD” in all caps, I thought green-on-black 1985 OLD. What’s a factory simulation game? ---

yeah… after I wrote it I decided that “OLD” might be wrong… I was trying to keep away from “You mean like gta3 old?” type comments. Its a business simulation, you purchase machines, deal with breakdowns of them, decide on what to make and how much, hire employees, put in vending machines and stuff in the break room. It was one of those addicting sim tower style games. ---

The game doesn’t sound familar to me, however, have you tried looking on [Moby Games](http://www.mobygames.com) ? They have pretty much every game ever made on any platform on there, and you can sort by a bunch of ways. Do you remember anything else about the game? ---

Is it perhaps [Industy Giant II](http://ig2.jowood.com/main.php?rid=324&lang=en) ? I think I had the game called Industry Giant, but this is the only thing I can find that’s similar, and it sounds like the game I remembered. ---

You might want to check out [Home of the Underdogs](http://www.the-underdogs.info). They have quite a collection of old PC games.
