Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Game Dev Story by Kairosoft is a small indie game for the iPod and Android; a PC version was released but only in Japan. In it, you are the president of a fledgling video game company just after the crash and just before Intendro is to release a new console. Your job is to make as much money as you can within 20 years, perhaps even releasing your own console.Though released with little fanfare, the game has gone on to see critical and commercial success. As an affectionate parody and look back at the last 20 years of video games as well as poking fun at video game development, ironically, some of the most avid fans are game developers themselves.Due to the success of the game, Kairosoft has announced they will be making a sequel. In addition, they have licensed out the game to another developer to make on Facebook. And lastly, to prove that they're not done poking fun at the video game industry, they released (in Japan only) a sister game called Waiwai! The Game Dealer in which you play the owner of a video game store who must sell video games to customers.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Subsequently, Kairosoft has gone on to make additional simulation games such as Hot Springs Story and Grand Prix Story. You may notice a pattern here.

All or Nothing: Any game deemed as "Hall Of Fame" are qualfied to have sequels. This trope comes into play because the sequel must be considered "Hall of Fame" material as well to have its own sequel.

Adam Smith Hates Your Guts: Yeah, the travelling salesman has the tendency to jack the price of his wares up gradually until it hits a ceiling price. For example, the Dead Bull energy drink starts off at 50k a bottle, but late game, after you buy all the boosts, several career change manuals and move buildings twice, the end price of the drink is 550k a bottle. Handwaved in that he's the Only Shop in Town.

Alternate History: Although the various consoles follow historic trends, it is possible to change the course of history through successful products. You can even develop your own game console, given the right skills.
