Can be played [[http://www.kongregate.com/games/HyperHippoGames/adventure-capitalist online]], and is also available for free [[http://store.steampowered.com/app/346900/ on Steam]].

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

Can be played [[http://www.kongregate.com/games/HyperHippoGames/adventure-capitalist here]].

* 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.

* ShoutOut: 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}}''.

* ExpansionPack: A recent update allows players to take their 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 ShoutOuts 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.]]

* PoweredByAForsakenChild: Some upgrades require permanently sacrificing angels. Since angel investors are your base for building your profits you (initially) need to be careful about these. Eventually, you'll have so many angels that the game won't even bother with the warning dialogue.

* AdamSmithHatesYourGuts: Your first lemonade stand costs dollars. Your thousandth costs nonillions of dollars. Once the cost of one lemonade stand reaches trigintillions of dollars, you are ''almost'' to the Phase 1 endgame.

You start with a lemonade stand. Click it to earn 2 bucks per sale. Buy more lemonade stands with the proceeds. Expand into newspapers, pizza delivery and all the way up to becoming an oil baron. Hire managers to automate your facilities and upgrades such as sports pages, online ordering and [[VideoGame/{{Portal2}} combustible lemons]]. In addition, you can reset the game to attract angel investors that multiply your investments' profits even further.
