Anyone help me here? My uncle had a BBC model B back in the early 80s. There was a sim game on it where you had to grow rice tax the population etc. Anyone remember the name as I cant. Just wanted for an emulator, but have browsed lists and havent noticed it. The game may have been bundled with the system? Thanks Paul

Was just going to run the emu on my android phone - elite would be awesome on it but probably not easily controlled, hence looking at sim type games and adventures. I recall it being quite simple but just can't remember what it was.....
