The McDonald RPG (simulator/spoof) puts you in charge of running McDonalds. From the boardroom, to the cattle yard. Your job, of course, is to maximize profits, but don't let those evironmental wackos slow you down.

There are four screens to deal with. The agricultural sector, feed lot, the fast food restaurant, and the board room. Each has it's share of problems to deal with. You have to grow the soy and cows in the agricultural sector by buying the land and placing the cows or soy on it. Once the cows get large enough, they will be sent to the feed lot. Don't let any diseased or mad cow cows get slaughtered in this stage. They'll infect your customers, hurting the bottom line.

Once the cows are slaughtered, you need to serve your customers. Keep your employees in line with rewards, discipline, or just fire them outright. In the board room, use those creative marketers to increase your customers. Keep the PR group hopping, combatting those evironmentalists and nuts who think you're poisoning them. But most important of all is to keep the board members happy. After all, they're the ones who can fire you.

There's a very steep learning curve, so keep your cool. It may take a few tries to keep your job for longer than a few months. You'll get fired if you put the company in the red ($-30,000). As far as I can tell, that's the only way to end the game?
