Fun School 2: For the Under-6s
DOSEducational
How it plays
The game presents a strategic map on which the player operates a brewery, distributes beer, and competes for customers and market presence. The main objective is to expand the business while keeping production and distribution economically viable.
Players adjust business decisions, send beer to different locations, and respond to competition. Progress comes from earning money, increasing reach, and managing limited resources; success depends more on planning and timing than on reflexes.
Plan your run
Begin by serving nearby locations so transport costs do not overwhelm early profits. Expand distribution gradually instead of sending stock across the entire map immediately.
Watch the relationship between production, price, and demand. Keep enough beer available for profitable areas, but avoid committing resources to routes that do not produce dependable returns.
Before you begin
Prioritize short, economical delivery routes at the start.
Expand only after production and cash flow are stable.
The Last Eichhof is a freeware business-strategy game developed by the Swiss group Alpha Helix for DOS and released in 1993. The player manages a small brewery and attempts to compete in a beer market represented through a stylized map of Switzerland. Its play style combines production, distribution, pricing, and territorial competition rather than direct combat. The game is known for its humorous presentation, distinctive beer theme, and unusual subject matter. Although modest in scope, it became a memorable DOS-era freeware title and is often cited as an inventive example of independent game design from the period.
