Corporate Pursuit is an average business simulation that tries to simulate the IT industry, but does not quite succeed due to dubious economic/pricing engine, and balan gameplay.
Your role is Marketing Manager a high-tech company, responsible for the the entire product life cycle, from production, to marketing and advertising. The game is played with a lot of static, spreadsheet-style screens - much like Impressions' early titles (e.g. Detroit). That in itself is not a bad thing; what makes the game boring is that nothing much seems to happen in the game. Your opponents' actions are more or less transparent, and there are few randomt events to make the game more exciting and difficult. I noticed some undercutting behavior of computer players in the game, but other than that, they pose no real threat to your company.
Overall, Corporate Pursuit is a game that is not bad, but pales in comparison to classics in the genre such as Capitalism Plus and Enterpreneur. Worth a look only if you collect this kind of games.

I was a small part of the "Home of the Underdogs" team back then, when this game was on the top of the list of games that were completely lost. I ended up hunting a physical copy and the floppies were still working, and that's how the game came back to life. I still have the original box :) Quite a few games that I found back then, including having contacted the creators of a few games.
No comment nor review for this game at the moment.
