Experience the Ultimate Petroleum Industry Simulation

Step back in time with OIL.EXE, a gripping text-based strategy game that puts you in command of a 1980s computer terminal. As an aspiring oil tycoon, you have been handed a simple but daunting directive: take control of an undeveloped oil field, manage a million-dollar starting capital, and navigate years of economic volatility to build an extraction empire. With its authentic retro CRT aesthetic and keyboard-driven command prompt interface, this management sim offers a hardcore, immersive experience where every keystroke determines if you become a billionaire or declare bankruptcy.

Master the Art of Extraction

Your journey begins on a 10x10 grid of untapped potential. You must strategically scan for crude oil, manage drilling costs, and gamble on the long-term viability of your wells. Because your reserves are finite, success requires more than just finding black gold; you need to sustain production as your wells naturally deplete. Every drilling operation is a calculated risk that pits your budget against the unpredictable geology of an ever-changing subsurface landscape.

Scale Your Industrial Complex

Striking oil is only the first step in this deep simulation game. Once you have crude flowing, you must build a vertically integrated operation to maximize your profitability:

• Deployment: Install and maintain specialized pumps to keep production steady.
• Refining: Operate refineries to transform raw crude into high-demand products like gasoline, diesel, and kerosene.
• Blending: Create high-value premium gas and jet fuel to capture the most lucrative segments of the market.
• Storage Management: Carefully monitor your tank capacities to ensure peak production years don't result in wasted resources.

Navigate a Ruthless 1980s Commodities Market

OIL.EXE features an advanced economic simulation that tracks real-world 1980s wholesale commodity fluctuations. With eight tradable goods, you must decide when to sell your inventory and when to hold, weathering bull runs and devastating market crashes. Your strategic foresight is tested annually as you balance operational maintenance against shifting sell prices, all while dodging unpredictable random events like labor strikes, pipeline failures, and environmental regulations.

Prove Your Worth as an Oil Baron

Whether you choose a short 20-year sprint or a challenging 100-year marathon, your growth is tracked through comprehensive balance sheets and year-end reports. Chase sixteen unique achievements that reward both meticulous financial planning and high-stakes risk-taking. From your first successful pump to your eventual rise as a multi-million-dollar industrial titan, OIL.EXE provides a rewarding challenge for fans of retro business sims and resource management games alike.
