Play Oil Barons Online
Start with a wad of cash and a prayer, then outbid rivals for drilling rights—either strike it rich or watch your empire crumble when the wells run dry. That pixelated auction tension never gets old.
Game Overview
Oil Barons is that MS-DOS game where you either become a filthy-rich oil tycoon or go broke trying. You start with a little cash, a patch of land, and a dream—then it’s all about bidding on drilling rights, hoping you hit black gold before your rivals do. The auctions get intense fast, especially when someone snipes that prime plot out from under you.
It’s got that perfect mix of strategy and chaos—sometimes you’re rolling in cash, other times you’re one dry well away from selling your hat. The graphics are pure pixel nostalgia, and the gameplay’s simple enough to pick up but brutal enough to keep you swearing at the screen. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a robber baron without the moral hangover, this is your game.
Just don’t blame me when you lose your shirt on a bad gamble in Texas.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
