Business Simulator.
Rock Manager
Rock Manager is yet another one of those value-priced business sims. As the title suggests, you become a “rock manager” and must tackle nine challenging scenarios to complete the game. The goal of most of them is to manage, produce, and promote an up-and-coming rock band. As you can imagine, this is no easy task. […]
Gadget Tycoon
Gadget Tycoon is a business simulator / tycoon game where you lead and develop a corporation responsible for creating futuristic devices. Over time, you’ll hire and fire employees representing 11 professions, including lawyer, sales manager, and production supervisor. All employees (you can have a maximum of 17) are rated for morale, efficiency, level of qualification, […]
Pirate Hunter
Ascaron Entertainment of Port Royale fame presents this strategy game inspired in large parts by Sid Meier’s Pirates. The game is set in the 16th and 17th century Caribbeans, during the peak of sea-faring piracy. You begin with a small crew and a single small yet nimble vessel, and gain power and prestige through trade, […]
Big Biz Tycoon
It’s not your typical business sim! No, Big Biz Tycoon is a business sim with a heart. Instead of manipulating abstract financials and faceless departments, you’re facing the workforce — hiring each individual, overseeing career paths, and maintaining a pleasant work environment by shifting cosmetic variables. Happy employees plus smart money-management wins the game. Too […]
Railroad Tycoon 3
Presenting the vain train. In Railroad Tycoon II, you played a rail baron laying down the arteries of commerce and industry. In Railroad Tycoon 3, you roam a free camera soaring across the land. Swoop from Chicago to St. Louis in the wave of a mouse. Zoom out and look down from on high, or […]
Hoyle Casino Empire
Any resemblance that Hoyle Casino Empire bears to other Hoyle games is incidental. It has more in common with tycoon business sims than the conventional line of game packages that Hoyle usually delivers. You get a casino, build it up, and progress up the line for more challenges at other casinos. You start at Buddy’s […]
The Corporate Machine
The Corporate Machine lets you become the chief of a startup corporation in your choice of three industries: aircraft, cars, or computers. From your humble beginnings in a garage, you’ll eventually get to purchase a variety of buildings that affect marketing, research, employee costs, and morale. Of course, the ultimate goal is to gain the […]
Trains & Trucks Tycoon
Trains & Trucks Tycoon is a business sim that plays in the same fashion as Railway Tycoon 2 or Locomotion. The goal is to connect various industries around the map (rendered in full 3D, in this case), buy trains and trucks, set up schedules for what goods will be transported, and hopefully make enough of […]
Sid Meier’s Railroads!
For anyone new, think Railroads! as a modern remake of Railroad Tycoon 2, but with 3D graphics, a more user friendly interface, and a simplified stock market. You’re once again tasked with creating a railroad empire in various parts of the world, often competing against rival companies, in Europe and North America. The robust single-player […]
Chris Sawyer’s Locomotion
Back before Roller Coaster Tycoon rumbled onto hard drives everywhere, designer Chris Sawyer was fiddling with a follow-up to Transport Tycoon, his business and transportation sim, which had garnered a loyal following. When he had the revelation that train tracks bear a striking resemblance to amusement park rides, a new star was born and the […]
