Comprehensive list of all tycoon games in existence
A fine tradition started by Sid Meier with his Railroad Tycoon that got so many offshoots it’s impossible for me to keep track.

Please help finishing this short-list:

- Railroad Tycoon
- Railroad Tycoon II
- Railroad Tycoon III (to be released)
- Transport Tycoon

And while you’re at it, tell me which tycoon games you have. I have Railroad Tycoon and Transport Tycoon, for instance.

Here are all of the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Airport Tycoon
Oil Tycoon
Roller Coaster Tycoon
Pizza Tycoon
Fast Food Tycoon
Zoo Tycoon
Golf Resort Tycoon
Ski Resort Tycoon (1 & 2)
Buisness Tycoon
Monopoly Tycoon


Most of them aren't related in anyway aside from the name, though.

There has also been a Railroad Tycoon Deluxe, but I didn't mention either because they differ little from the original.

Two other tycoons I hadn't mentioned yet are Dinopark Tycoon and Skate Park Tycoon.

There's also an oil tycoon and airline tycoon (different from airport tycoon). I own Railroad tycoon 2, rollercoaster tycoon, and transport tycoon deluxe.
How about Tycoon tycoon in which you manage a company that makes these tycoon games?

How about that game which starts in January and you have only six short months to corner the market in jokesters and idiots. It's called the June Baffoon and Loon Tycoon.

If you look at the word "tycoon" too much, it begins to look very bizarre...

It was pretty well-recieved, IIRC...

The only Tycoon game I've spent significant amounts of time on was Pizza Tycoon. An absolute classic.

Snapcase, could you tell me how to draw customers? I never managed doing that for some reason. (Yes, I advertised, considering local taste, hired personel, actually opened doors... nothing)

It's about making the right Pizza's, really. It's one of the few games where aesthetic values are important, so if you make pretty Pizzas the crowds will eventually come surging in. And nice Resturants.

Not really Tycoon games since they don't have it in the name but

Corporate Machine
Entreprenuer.

Excellent games best defined as Corporate Risk.

IIRC, the Corporate Machine was known as Business Tycoon before being released here in the US.

Another related game without the tycoon label is Capitalism Plus - quite a realistic simulation of the dynamics of corporations and profit making, now available as an abandoned game.

Cap Plus is somewhat interesting though rather dry. Published by the now defunct Interactive Magic. I think they are defunct the website isn't the same anymore.

I had Railroad Tycoon but lost it in the shuffle somewhere. I have RRT 2 but hate it. I am trying to get rid of it.
