Here is your chance to prospect for oil from the security of your own home!
The quest for 'Black Gold' has gripped people for decades. Now would-be Oil Barons can experience the thrill of striking oil in this real-life simulation.

Starting with your first concession, you must carry out seismic surveys and test drills on land or at sea until you hit a 'gusher'. All the while you must react to changes in the world economy as news flashes onto the screen. It's up to you to keep the dollars rolling in and to run a profitable company.

Based on real life geological data Oil Strike presents an accurate simulation of the geology behind the industry as well as giving some idea of the risk and huge financial commitment involved.
