I think I saw a game like that, some years ago... didn't play it though... though I might want to try this one out...

...they don't call me the "Tycoon tester" for nothing...

"Tycoon game" Tycoon is out! You have to come up with lots of silly ideas for tycoon games, and then use your marketing expertise to sell them to Tycoon game-aholics and take over the Tycoon game sector completely.

Check it out at http://www.iobviouslymadethisup.com

You know DrSpike, even though I knew that link was phony, I still couldn't stop myself from trying to look it up.

I had the little finger pointing at the link as I read your post.

Needless to say, I didn't click it.

I, too, knew it was phony, you saved me!!!

ACK!

I read the link, and knew it was just a joke, but I thought that it was actually a site, where the owner was writing a lot stuff like the "Tycoon game" Tycoon, so I was actually expecting other jokes as that one

...and the given link, would fit good to a site, with above mentioned comments...

It's incredible what kinds of tycoons that existst on the merket...and in the imagination of some people!
What about a Weapon Industry Tycoon to reflect the soul of this violent start of a century?

I just read Vovansims first post in the "AoM or SC4?" thread, which gave me an idea...

How about making a game called SinCity (Yes, I call Sim type of games: Tycoon games), a Tycoon game, where you build a city, where all your Sims, should make Sins

Don't worry, Sims: Total Debauchery is due for release soon. Teach your sims sado-masochism and get them addicted to crack. Available in stores from 05/03.

I have this feeling it'd get every single christian organization against it pretty soon!

BTW, this Sims thingie... My little sister plays that much still, and if this is what has become of the series... Well, I guess she'll have some problems talking mum and dad into it!

Rewakening an old thread (yet again!)
Well, this one's knocked me for six, I would never have thought of it - here's a demo for School Tycoon.

Also, I see there's a patch out for Cruise Ship Tycoon. Anyone know anything about that game?

Well, if you take a look at the homepage of the makers of the "School Tycoon", it kind of strats to make sense.

Skateboard Park Tycoon
Snowboard Park Tycoon
Ski Resort Tycoon
Golf Resort Tycoon
Casino Mogul

And then:

Full Strength Strongman Competition
Lumberjack Competition

I actually had a good idea for a school tycoon game:

The game is played in two ways:
- The normal school part (Making sure all kids gets a good grade, etc)
- The hidden agenda part (Educating all kids to become your slaves, without even noticing your hidden mission... anyone heard about "The Wave"? I think that's what it was called)

Its a film about school children at a posh private school who eventually freak out (after harsh dicipline) and start shooting staff and students (and visiting bishops) from the school roof with automatic weapons a naked lady shows them in the cellar. Go figure Its a classic.

Where your aim is beat the other testicle in amount of sperm cells produced

Do you spend your resources on looser underwear, or go all out for a high-tech testicular cooling system. Only YOU can decide!

Never!



There's one tycoon on the way, which might be interesting... too bad I don't remember the name of it, but it was about creating Hollywood movies from the early days of movies to this day...

...somehow I also got the feeling from reading about this, you'll be able to make the trailers to the movies you make, and share them between your friends... don't know how they'll do this though...





Yes, I'm living in hope

OMG, I just had a great idea! Check this out....

The Private Detective Agency Tycoon

Ooooh, aaaah. The next killer of a game.

(And of course, in typing the "next killer game" phrase, I stumbled upon another gem: The Hired Assassin Tycoon. )

There is a slight problem with that... You couldn't have multiplayer with up to eight players, as it is customary in games nowadays.
