Hot Shot business lets you run your own business and see how well you do against other businesses. Real problems will come along and they will help you solve it. You get to choose which business you want out of a few. You handle marketing, money, pricing, customers, and more. It's a fun game that little kids and teens(like me) will have fun with. Eventually after playing you will learn strategies and hopefully get first place among the other businesses.
