Dallas is a board game of oil exploration and exploitation in Texas. A map of Texas is shown splitting the region into hundreds of plots each with a potential to discover oil. After making seismic surveys you are required to make decisions on purchasing concessions, the movement and use of drilling rigs, and the building of platforms and pipelines. Can you take-over the Euing Empire, or will you be taken-over in the attempt! This is a business simulation of the wheeler-dealer oil rich folk who live in Dallas. The program will appeal to all members of the family. The program starts with setting up a map of Texas, splitting the region into hundreds of plots, each with a potential to discover oil. You are required to make seismic surveys, bid for concessions, drill for oil, build production facilities and lay pipelines. The game is menu-driven and the player is able to direct his corporation along many diverse routes. The object of the game is to accumulate $200M in net assets and $80M cash in order to take over Euing Associates. There are three levels of difficulty.
