Ojom GmbH, a leading creator and global publisher of mobile games, today announced the launch of Oil Imperium a mobile adaptation of the classic Commodore 64 game. A cross between Monopoly and simulation games Oil Imperium gives you the chance to prospect for black gold and become an oil baron.

Trade on the financial markets, drill oil fields and sell crude as you build your global empire. Oil Imperium allows gamers to act out the fantasy of becoming an oil magnate controlling vast reserves of the world’s oil in a simulation format that is set in the world of commerce and international business. If you like playing Monopoly or having a flutter on the Grand National then this game of beating the odds could appeal to you. Classic gamers that cut their teeth on the Commodore 64 will be familiar with the plot and the planning that is needed to make it as an oil tycoon.

Oil Imperium is a game that is all about boom or bust! You begin with a modest budget of around £1250 million to build your empire from scratch, but in order to strike black gold and make your fortune you must spend that money wisely. The practical side of the game includes prospecting for sites to drill for oil, keeping a close eye on the competition and the fluctuating price of crude oil.

Marc Buße, Channel Manager, of Ojom GmbH, said: “Tycoon style games appeal to the megalomaniac in all of us. You can play at being a businessman in the boardroom and take your chances drilling out at sea or in the desert. This compelling game will appeal to classic gamers who played the original version and mobile users that have a head for enterprise.”

Oil Imperium marks a new step in a new direction for Ojom. This is the Berlin based publisher’s first venture into the strategy and simulation format that puts gamers into real world situations like the economic simulation portrayed here.
The game is now available on operator portals across Europe. www.ojom.com
