In the 80’s, a game company called Tendino created a revolutionary game console called Tendino Entertainment System (TES). Your company, 8-bit Inc, is one of the many companies trying to make the best games for the system and compete with them in the Game Prix Award (GPA).

This is a solo game where the player becomes the manager of 8-bit Inc. The player's job is to manage workers to create game points in graphics, sound, and programming by distributing 3 rolled dice (3D6) on workers. The more dice the player puts into a worker the more game points he will create and the better the game will become. Some workers are better than others.

The player also manages money and hires more workers by using the rolled dice. At the end of summer, the player must pay the workers wages (or lose them) and must compete in the Game Prix Award against other companies.
