I wrote an oligopoly game when I was a first year undergraduate student at the Budapest University of Economic Sciences. The program was originally written for an AMIGA. This version needs an IBM compatible PC and runs already under Windows 3.11. To download the game click [here] for the list of files. Please, create a folder for the program and download the files into that folder. The program can be started from the 'Run' menu.
Tuesday 13:10-14:30.
