Ever wonder what happened to Studebakers, Packards, Ramblers, and all the rest of the “orphan” brands? Last of the Independents is a Euro-styled resource management game that simulates the building, engineering, and promotion of cars by the smaller independent American automobile companies in the post-WWII era. It depicts some of the difficult challenges executives faced as they vied against each other and the “Big Three.” Design, engineer, and advertise your way to commercial success in the wide-open car market of the Golden Age of automobiles.
