Vermeer

Vermeer is a series of strategy and business simulation video games launched in 1987 by ariolasoft. It contained three individual games between the original launch and 2004: Vermeer (1987), Vermeer: Die Kunst zu erben (1997), and Vermeer: The Great Art Race (2004).

The name of the game series is reminiscent of the Dutch painter Jan Vermeer. The game title of the original game contained a graphic that is similar to his famous work "Girl with a Pearl Earring". In the game, however, the name stands for a fictional art forger named Vico Vermeer.
