A classic game in the same vein as Big City or Metropolis (q.v.).

Everyone is scrambling for it - developers, speculators, and the poor guy who just wants a place to live. Now you can find out what all the excitement is about. the shrewd purchase of land, the skyrocketing profits, the grouping of property into larger holdings, the construction of high revenue buildings! It's all in Land Grab!!"
