Tycoon City: New York Review
I play games of all types. Being disabled and homebound the majority of the time, I spend all my waking hours on my computer either online or playing a game, sometimes both at once.
Reading the other reviews I am seeing people who bought the game thinking it was something it wasn't. It is exactly what it said it was, a business Sim game. You build your businesses, if you get enough of the same kind then you build a headquarters and you make money. No, you can't lose money, I like that, it means I don't have to search the web for cheats so I'm able to actually get enough money to build at the pace I want instead of cheating to get it.
Complicated games are fun if you are young, have a med free mind, etc. I am 50, am on many different meds for various incurable auto immune diseases and Fibro which all cause intractable, chronic pain. Pain meds get the pain gone, but can make it hard some days to concentrate for any length of time on something. Games like this one fill a need, for people like me who want a fun game to play that has an easy learning curve and that you can win without having to cheat.
For those having problems with their video, it sounds like you need to upgrade your computer's video card. The new games coming out are so graphically intense, you need a top of the line video card in order to play them. You can find one for under 200 if you are patient and look around at different sites online, but I've gotten the best deals right here on Amazon for the last 2 I've bought. I expect when I need to upgrade again in a year or two, I will be right back here to order again. :) I buy ATI's, which have always been the best for the sim and shooter games I play.
I'm sorry some of you didn't like the game, but I'm of the opposite view. I love it and am having a lot of fun laying out my town, fixing up my parks, watching the wild Halloween parade you get with the first area you build LOL and deciding how I can best decorate the front of each business that will please the customers the most (the game will tell you before you put a choice down).
Things have sure come a long way in gaming since I got that first pong game and attached it to my TV when I was young. The one cool thing about being my age, I've had the joy of watching it all grow thru the years and I was hooked from day one when I got Pong, then Atari, etc., to my homebuilt gaming computer of today. Enjoy the game for what it is and it will bring hours of fun.
Now I'm off to change over to my other window under this one, which is of course, Tycoon City New York. Haha, seriously, I was playing and decided to write this here and give my thoughts on the game. Sorry if this is kinda long, I wanted to cover all the previous posts as well as possible.
