Reviews:

Electronic Entertainment, April 1995

"There's a lot to manage in Gazillionaire. You have to keep an eye on labor, advertising, and insurance costs. Track news and weather bulletins to get a jump on your competitors. Haggle with creditors and petition for lower tariffs. Buy larger and faster spaceships. Analyze current trends, set passenger prices, and seek out the best markets for your cargo. Bid for Imperial concessions on seven planets, so you can hit your rivals with fat landing fees."

"The menu system is absolutely transparent, and there's detailed help available from all screens."

"Gazillionaire is an oddball financial sim that's economically sound and incurably silly. Win, and prove your economic machismo; start to lose, and you can always switch to Asteroids."

CD-ROM Today, May 1995

"It's hard to imagine that a game of high finance could be silly, but Gazillionaire has its wacky aspect, especially in its look and sound. The anti-slick pictures are a mixture of colorful 3-D and amateur cartooning that were created by a two-person startup called Lavamind."
