There's a game called Trump Tycoon by Activision due out on 15th October according to this release list. I wonder what that game is about?

Wait a second, is there a game similar to "Television Tycoon"? It's not in the Tycoon series, but the premise was that you ran a television station and you had to manage what shows the station bought and sell advertising time.

Anybody know the game that I'm thinking of?

I tried a game like that some years ago, but the game was pretty old, so it never catched me...Don't remember the name of the game though...

Not a bad idea but I'd call it "AK-47 weapon manager&cleaner Tycoon" (just to make it sound better)

and I have a question - what's Ski Resort Tycoon like? I wanted to download it but heard it wasn't that good.

Ski Resort Tycoon 2 is out now. Is that an improvement does anyone know?

The same people have made a batch of relatively cheap tycoon games including Golf Resort Tycoon which was ok for what I paid for it (and I think a sequel is out or coming out) and also Roller Skater Tycoon but I don't know what that's like.

Other tycoon games from a different company include Arline Tycoon (which you can download a demo of and a sequel is coming out for that as well), Political Tycoon or Economic Tycoon (depending on which part of the world you are in and also has a demo) and finally Gadget Tycoon which I haven't found a demo for but has anyone played it and is it any good?

I have been looking all over for a demo for this one too, so if someone knows a place to find a demo, please share your knowledge

Almost none of these games produce demos because it would double the production time and people would find out how awful they were before they paid their money

I know, I have the latest patch, but that one doesn't really fix the worst bugs...One of the main problems in the game is the heavy traffic: It takes a lot of time, just to drive a car through town. I believe it's like, when 10 cars are made, 1 car dissapeir...

I have never played a game longer than 15 years, and I guess I'll never be able to do that, since they are now making a completely new game about the same...With other words, they are just taking the game Car Tycoon, and rename it Wheels, then sell it again...Talking about getting ripped off

Fart Tycoon.

Through careful management of food consumed during specific hours and using a vast array of different shaped underwear, you can produce the loudest and longest farts in the world, gaining points also for how stinking those farts are, in a thrilling contest where the player which manages to make most people throw up wins!

On the game's website, you can exchange your best farts with other players, and, through the innovative "SmellingMouse(TM)"* technology, you can even smell the farts you and others produce!

Do not miss the chance to become a real stinking fart tycoon!!

	Suffering from ads?

Well, I've bought Airline Tycoon just recently because:

1) It has a budget price

2) Avault gave it a good review here.

It's fun, quite enjoyable; only thing is I'm stuck at the second level of the campaign, I'm supposed to be the first to fly 2500 passengers but the AI players do far better than me from the start.

The sequel which will include enhancements such as being able to design and build your own plane is coming out soon so it depends whether you want to spend a budget price on the perfectly playable game as it is now or wait for the enhanced version and spend more for it.

Gadget Tycoon is also on special but it didn't get such a good review so I've held off buying that one. Maybe if they drop the price waaaay down...

Looks like fun but the whole timer concept ruins it for me. If I have to make precise judgement calls I want time to consider the choices, not find that the compressed time has ticked away too fast.

I' just got the game Crazy Factory (Somebody says it's the same thing as Gadget Tycoon), but it's not worth anything...I've read the re-view in some gamemagazine, were they mention the only thing bad about the game, was the comedy they used in the game...But from what I have seen, the only good thing about the game, is the comedy they have used...The choices of what to do is way to few (Has a one-way research, can't actually see the product in game (only in boxes), To produce anything, you need only 4 people (to build it), you can't hire more than it (to build), which means with 4 people, you can make as much gadget as you wish (As long as you have the right machinery (1 person per machine)

I have Golf Resort Tycoon the first. It's ok for the price (it's an el cheapo). It has a 3d option where you can see through the eyes of any golfer or even any building I think from memory.

I don't know what enhancements version 2 has though.

The game's boring... For a week or two it might be interesting, but then it just gets boring, since it's always the same thing to do. I downloaded evolution, but it wasn't interesting at all, the extra features they put in the game wasn't useable... The "build-you-own-plane" thing was unuseable, because I never got that much money to be able to actually afford a new plane (two weeks of a-lot-of-stops playing just couldn't do it), and the security is only there to laugh at, it defently didn't stop the other players to "attack" me, which they did almost every day, but still security couldn't stop them...

Needless to say: I deleted the game again...

If you really want to play the game, don't wait to pay full price for the "extra stuff", just go buy the "normal" version it cheap...
