Am wichtigsten ist der Computer, genannt Oil-Commander, wo du Ölfelder und Tanks kaufen und verkaufen, oder dein gelagertes Öl in den verschiedenen Regionen an den Mann bringen kannst.

Eine andere Funktion, die hier verfügbar ist, ist die Expertise. Diese ist sehr wichtig, da sie für wenig Geld Informationen wie Fördermengen oder laufende Kosten für die Ölfelder liefert.

Die Weltkarte gibt einen Überblick über die einzelnen Ölfelder und Gegner, und die Zeitung versorgt dich mit interessanten Informationen vom Ölmarkt.

Wann immer das Telefon klingelt, ist etwas Schlimmes passiert. Du solltest den Anruf so schnell wie möglich annehmen und dich um das Problem kümmern.

Nur wirklich böse Geschäftsleute würde diese Möglichkeiten nutzen und die Bohrtürme des Gegners abfackeln… Der Koffer enthält Verträge mit Brandbekämpfern und dein Flugticket zum brennenden Ölfeld.

Du brauchst den Koffer aber nur, wenn das Telefon klingelt. Da kannst zum Beispiel deine Bohrlöcher in einem kleinen Spiel, in dem du dafür sorgen musst, dass der Bohrer zentriert bleibt und nicht bricht, selbst bohren.

Manchmal musst du auch Pipelines bauen, um Öl verkaufen zu können.
