anyone else into tycoon/god games?
 

yes, I am a girl - sue me. Shooting and racing games don't do much for me (though half life 2 was a lot of fun) but I have always liked tycoon/empire. etc type of games. Of course I know about the Sims (I can stop any time I want to) but there are more and more of the 'little' empire/tycoon games out there now.

Does anyone have ones they are really enjoying and can reccomend? I have played and enjoyed all the Rollercoaster Tycoons...I liked Pizza Tycoon a few years ago and I am about currently installing 'Casino Empire' that I got off ebay for a buck.

Any other tycoon fans here?

yea, have to agree... played way too much with the good old transport tycoon and also stuff like pharaoh and children of the nile kind of games...

there are tons of them out there , will have to look into casino empire...

oh my husband was into transport tycoon for years and then had trouble running it when we got XP

ya, i got over a dozen tycoon/simulation game

Here are some i see on my pc now

Ceasar 3.. Pharoah... AIrline tycoon, airport tycoon, monopoly tycoon, rollercoaster tycoon, railroad tycoon 3, school tycoon.. hmm thats some of the ones i see on my pc.. I got a bunch more on cds laying around.

BTW i get most of em for free :banana

school tycoon...new one for me...any good?

ya just saw mall tycoon, zoo tycoon, and lemonade tycoon NY edition(I prefer the first version.. the NY edition sucks)

its ok.. u gotta run a school.. not the best game ever..

mall tycoon was okay but almost too fiddly

IMO, the best ones are The new roller coaster tycoon and railroad tycoon.. Monopoly tycoon is also a nice way to pass a few hrs..

mall tycoon is gay.. I got 1 & 2 and they both suck ass..

its almost as bad as airport tycoon

Hehe my fav GAMe of all time is Age oF Empires 2, age of kings, i got it years ago the october it came out.

Im one of the top 10 players on gaming zone out of over 50k people who play it online..

Ive won a few tourneys, etc.. but i dont play it during school session cuz it means no class for me..

... I love transport tycoon :thumbsup

But I don't play games last several years :-/

oh in the age of empires series i love the age of mythology ... it is very nice especially with the titans expantion ...

mall tycoon sucked donkey balls!

I still love Railroad Tycoon. But the real #1 is Civilisation 1. I love that game.

I love playing adult-webmaster tycoon :thumbsup

I might go and buy that website :thumbsup

yeah, i have been addicted to that one for years

I used to play tycoon games

Still playing Transport Tycoon deluxe, Open TTD allows great play on all O/S's, it also removes all vechicle caps, allows internet and network play [and there are servers with people playing beleive it or not]

Enjoy :)

i have a ton of tycoon games. so many that i dont have time to play them. :(

yeah, that happens to me too

My girlfriend and I have been enjoying Zoo Tycoon 2, and just got Sea World Tycoon. But we don't like it as much. Which of the tycoon type games are as good as Zoo Tycoon?

i haven't actually played Zoo Tycoon yet..I know I almost bought it once but for some reason didn't.

Get Civilization III Complete. You'll love it. Then after you become a Civfanatic you'll be drooling waiting for Civ IV due later this year.

If you really want to play god, look for Black & White 1 or 2. Very good games.

I used to play Them Park years ago and loved it.

Casino Empire! I got that out of the bargain bin at Fry's a few years ago.

For more recent games, you might want to try Rome Total War. It's kind of a mix of RTS/Sim/War and can get addictive... but fun :thumbsup

yeah thats pretty much all i played when i had the time.

i think you have now given me something to do saturday night :)

I used to play RCT 24/7. It rocked.

I'm more into RPGs and Strategy now.

lol...i'm all about the bargin bin :)

So far it isn't that bad but a bit repetitive.

I will have to check out Rome Total War

'The Singles' was okay for a couple days. It is like the Sims but the point is to try to shag your roomate.

I had to uninstall that game and throw it away

It was to addicting

have you tried 'Evil Genius' ?

love that game :)

I have a patch for that if you want.

sounds like a great game to me! ;-)


I love tycoon/sim games
my favorite is probably SimCity 3000, but also love Rollercoaster Tycoon, Lemonade Tycoon and of course Trailer Park Tycoon

Trailer Park Tycoon?

Sadly, a bit late and the game reminds me too much of him to want to play it on my own anytime soon but thank you very much for the offer.

looking at it now ..i am pretty sure that hasn't come out over here or I would have bought it just for camp factor

Evil Genius is great... basically you are a supervillan and have to build your evil empire in a mountain. Build up your base, minions, weapons, etc to finally build your world domination weapon and take over the world. LOL

I don't like PC games....the last thing I want to do with my free time is sit at this desk.

However I do love those type of games.....I still play Genghis Khan II, P.T.O., and Romance of the Three Kingdoms on the super nes in my kid's room.

I saw that on the shelf the other day and it looked tempting.
