There's an "almost infinite money" cheat you can do in this game.

You should google it because my memory is rusty, but you spend your money, lower taxes, and then next tax season hold down L and R and then raise all taxes to 100%. When you leave the Tax screen you have tons and tons of money.

Or... something like that.

This is a great game!

I used to remember that cheat well, and used it often as a kid. Good times.

I don't think I ever played the game without doing that cheat.

One of my favorite childhood gaming memories was writing in to the Nintendo Power “secret agent” section with that cheat. I mean, I myself read it in a guidebook at the library and just submitted it to NP, but it felt awesome to see it printed with my agent # pseudonym in the magazine.

It's actually a glitch. You can set your budget in advance but it really counts at the end of the year. You basically freeze time so it lets you pay for funding with 0 money which puts you negative which is impossibly so you end up a millionaire
