Freeplay

In freeplay mode, there are no levels. You start a save by selecting a map, competitors, difficulty, and starting funds. The game starts with only three markets unlocked: Calculators, Virtual Pets, and Cassette Players. You create blueprints, produce products, and advance and unlock markets as you would in a level during a campaign.

Although there are no explicit goals, there are milestones you can hit by increasing the number of products sold in the past in-game year.
