Description: Originally an economic game called "Black Marketeer" before Harris added the nuclear missiles. Supposedly Harris' resume is hidden somewhere in the game as well!
Easter eggs: During gameplay, visit cities, in order, with the initials R-O-S-H-A (ROSHA is Bob Harris’ nickname). You’ll then see a screen with the following message: "Rosha, RObert S. HArris, born August 28th 1957, in Boalsburg Pennsylvania, BS Math CMU 1979, 'we should NUKE the lawyers', buy 'Killer Bees', press any key, 'hi dad'". Following this, some additional play features are enabled, an extra city (RoSHA Isle) appears in the ocean (bottom-right corner of the map) while provides unlimited fuel, and all the city names change to joke names!
