My friends and I in college had a blast playing it on the C64. One of them would occasionally buy and release mules, more to screw over the other players that wanted to deploy them for production, but I'm sure driving up the price of smithore was also a benefit. Good times.

I believe Apple has even used this approach at various times with memory and displays.
