History VideoGame / AdventureCapitalist

* AdReward: On the mobile version of the game, you can watch an ad which doubles your income for 4 hours.

* ArbitrarilyLargeBankAccount: How arbitrary? [[http://what-if.xkcd.com/96/ This article]] discusses how silly 2 undecillion dollars is. With enough angel investors, your first ''lemonade stand'' will be charging [[UpToEleven more than that]].

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: As your riches expand, your avatar dresses up in a suit and NiceHat and becomes surrounded with the trappings of wealth.

* EleventyZillion: Averted. The player may believe this is in play at first, but "vigintillion"[[note]]10^63[[/note]] and "untrigintillion"[[note]]10^96[[/note]] ''are'' real terms.

* ShoutOut: [[ShoutOut/AdventureCapitalist Now with its own page!]] Bordering on ReferenceOverdosed territory, even. Many of the upgrades, achievements, and managers reference other games, TV shows, animes and movies. To name a few, [[VideoGame/{{Portal2}} Cabe Johnson]] manages your lemonade stands, along with his accountant Gladys Caroline, and you can upgrade with combustible lemons. All of the car wash managers are named after characters from ''Series/BreakingBad''. Most of the moon delivery-related achievements, managers and upgrades (As well as the moon delivery concept itself, for that matter) are references to ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''.

* EleventyZillion: A player may believe this is in play at first, until he does research and realizes that yes, [[AvertedTrope "vigintillion" and "untrigintillion" are real terms]].

* AwesomeButImpractical / BoringButPractical: The later investments make more money but will take too long and often outclassed by much lower investments, which may not make as much money at first but are quicker and can outclass the later investments.

It is available for free [[http://store.steampowered.com/app/346900/ on Steam]] and mobile devices, and additionally can be played [[http://www.kongregate.com/games/HyperHippoGames/adventure-capitalist online here]], though it is no longer regularly updated.

* ExpansionPack: You can take your financial empire to the moon upon reaching a Decillion dollars (and waiting for 200 RealLife hours.) It's mostly a reskin, but there are a few more [[ShoutOut references]] such as the [[{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}} Moon Express]] and the fact that the "Gravity Booth" item looks like a [[Series/DoctorWho TARDIS]], and the added wrinkle that the progression of which items are more profitable to invest in than others [[DamnYouMuscleMemory is very different from said progression in the Earth interface.]]

* MagikarpPower: Originally the Lemonade Stand is pretty much of a sucker but later becomes a cheap expert investment later on.

* PlanetHeck: Mars has its share of allusions to {{VideoGame/Doom}}, including a building called "Portal to Heck".

* HollywoodEconomics: Core economic principles, such as supply/demand and market saturation, are glossed over, if not completely ignored.
* InfiniteStockForSale: An example of HollywoodEconomics. You can never run out of product; it just keeps generating the same profit until you do something to raise the price, in which case, it continues to sell just as quickly.

* HollywoodEconimics: Core economic principles, such as supply/demand and market saturation, are glossed over, if not completely ignored.

* TheCameo: The "Excellent AdVenture" event has Sasha, one of the heroes from fellow Idle Game ''Crusaders of the Lost Idols'' as a manager.

* FollowTheLeader / SturgeonsLaw: The success of this game triggered a flood of idle games on Kongregate which shows no signs of abating any time soon.
