Are there any good tycoon games nowdays? The ones i see are usually either barebones indie garbage or an "accountant" simulator where you crunch numbers.

There was a real gold rush for tycoon games, in retrospect. Theme Park World was 10/10, as well as most of the rollercoaster tycoon games but I remember weirder shit like Mall Tycoon 2 and School Tycoon.

Shit man, how fucking old was I playing these weird ass games. Time to go dig through dodgy download sites.

>Pizza Tycoon 2
>You can commit literal domestic terrorism by bombing your competitors out of business
Ahead of its time, plus you could make your own pizzas that your customers would inevitably hate.

>>333216954
Also, airline tycoon let you bomb the offices of your competitors, which were in the middle of the airport. This was two years after 9/11 too.

I really loved the fuck out of the first Mall Tycoon as a kid. It's one of the many games from my childhood I'm afraid to replay.
>>
>>333217287
I remember the tutorials being broken but the game itself was pretty fun.
>>
>>333214443
I think I still have my CD of this and the one where you ran a pizza franchise, what's the general consensus on them?

Prison Architect is pretty fun, gets updated every once in a while too, it's pretty much a tycoon game

>Deep Sea Tycoon, often confused with Atlantis Underwater Tycoon, is a 2003 video game developed by Anarchy Enterprises and published by Unique Entertainment

>"Deep Sea Tycoon 2" has been reviewed by X-Play, being given a 1 out of 5. Being noted for being boring by having "ridiculously easy challenges" and simple challenges of only having to "click my mouse button twice". As a final note in their review, Adam Sessler noted that "Game Tycoon" was more entertaining than "Deep Sea Tycoon 2".

>>333217170
Airline Tycoon was pre-9/11. You're thinking of the standalone expansions.
>>
>>333217726
Damn, you're right. What are some other tycoon games where you can violently remove/annoy your competitors?

>>333217895
Adult Swim had that hemp tycoon game. That's the weirdest I can actually think of.
>>
>>333217806
Constructor comes to mind. The whole real estate business is just a pretext for engaging in violence.
I remember some old business game where you run a holiday resort on some island and have a whole bunch of sabotage options, from bombings to dumping piranhas in swimming pools. I can't remember the name though, you'd have to do some digging.

Wish someone would make an HD re-render off Theme Hospital. It's gnarly looking and the mouse is just nuts at this resolution.

I used to play bunch of tycoon games growing up. From the classic like RCT and Zoo Tycoon to crappy ones like pic related. They're relaxing to play.

The more recent tycoon games look like they're frustrating to play.
