  Railroad Tycoon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
There are three versions; the original Railroad Tycoon (1990), Railroad Tycoon II (1998), and Railroad Tycoon 3 (2003).
Railroad Tycoon was originally written by game designer Sid Meier and published by MicroProse and was the first of the "Tycoon" games such as RollerCoaster Tycoon.
The second sequel, Railroad Tycoon 3, was released in 2003 featuring a full 3D environment, allowing for overpasses and tunnels (tunnels were present in the original but lost in RRT2), and much improved graphics over its predecessors.

 Featuring RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Review at ActionTrip
RollerCoaster Tycoon really excels in the graphic department whose only downside may be the appearance of the people.
The main thing in the RollerCoaster Tycoon is once again the career mode, which takes you through 18 scenarios in which you are assigned with different tasks, from building a specific rollercoaster to tidying the whole place up.
On one hand, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is a complex game that lets you decide about everything - from the price of the ticket to the position of every goddamn tree on the map.

 AVault | PC | Airline Tycoon Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
What with the constant book balancing, employee problems and the tedium of day-to-day operations, it's hardly the kind of situation that would seem to translate well to the electronic gaming format, which is solely about entertainment rather than job satisfaction.
Nevertheless, the best business management simulations of the past, such as Railroad Tycoon, have provided countless hours of diversion as players endeavor to maximize profits while balancing their available resources, keeping a sharp eye out for the opportunity to financially smash their opponents into the ground.
Much like this obscure classic, Airline Tycoon puts the player into the shoes of a airline president, whose job it is to ensure the success of his or her company by signing up orders, arranging worldwide routes, managing employees, purchasing planes and fuel, and so on.

 Tycoon (2003): Reviews
In the end Tycoon above all evokes a melancholy awareness of the seemingly eternal exploitation and impoverishment of the Russian people.
Despite its ambitious depiction of post-Soviet economic woes, Tycoon is an uneven political thriller that suffers mostly from a highly convoluted story line.
Though a relatively sober essay on criminal organization, Tycoon is also thoroughly pulpy -- that is, crass, unimaginative, corner-cutting, and simplistic, with the visual vocabulary of daytime soap.

 ActiveWin: Zoo Tycoon - Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The good thing about Zoo Tycoon is that the game isn't centered just around management, in Zoo Tycoon you can have things like Taxes, staff payments etc controlled by the computer, or if you would prefer to be in total control you can be in full charge.
Zoo Tycoon isn't going to win any awards for graphical flair, but in saying that they are probably the best you will come across in any tycoon management game at the moment.
I can't say I didn't enjoy playing Zoo Tycoon as I certainly did but once your exhibits are up and you are bringing in guests by the bucket load, there is not much to do other than make sure your animals remain as healthy and well-fed as possible.

 Strategy Gaming Online - Reviews : Roller Coaster Tycoon
Even though the scenarios are well-balanced, a "free form" mode with a terrain editor would also have been nice to build your own park from scratch.
In summary, Rollercoaster Tycoon is the sort of game anyone even mildly interested in strategy games would enjoy.
There are so many games that are more like work – Rollercoaster Tycoon is the first game in a while that I think of that the term "play" a game is appropriate.

 Moon Tycoon - ESCMag Review
The player can also throw in disasters, either for a challenge or to spite the colonists who just won’t agree with the master plan and live under a smog layer thicker than L.A.’s.
By far the coolest thing about Moon Tycoon is the various camera angles it allows during play.
The view goes as far out as a satellite view (useful for finding various colonies on the map), and as close as (nearly) being able to see in someone’s window.

 Game Over Online Magazine - Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The interface now has buttons for toggling on and off foliage, guests, and buildings (you could toggle the foliage before, but only through a hotkey), and there are now information panels for how profitable your attractions are and for the topics you’ve researched.
If Dinosaur Digs was just Zoo Tycoon with a new paint job, then it might be enjoyable enough for fans of Zoo Tycoon, or for people who really like dinosaurs, but Dinosaur Digs also has a couple of balance issues that limit its fun.
Developer Blue Fang Games put a lot of effort into the expansion pack, and they filled it with a lot of nice additions, but the dinosaurs are basically just really big animals, and their inclusion doesn’t change by much how you play the game.

In Roller Coaster Tycoon the player will need to build, maintain and keep their parks in profitable to succeed in the game.

Lemonade Tycoon 2 lets you take your lemonade selling skills from the home neighborhoods in the Bronx and Brooklyn to the hip streets of Greenwich Village, the high-traffic areas of Central Park and Grand Central Station, to the ultimate business venues of the Statue of Liberty and Times Square.

In our most recent look at the title, park patrons now populated the coasters as you rode them, and you could look around and see all of their different cartoony reactions and facial expressions with every bump, curve, and loop.

 Game Over Online Magazine - RollerCoaster Tycoon 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
For those of you who never played Rollercoaster Tycoon, you build an amusement park from the ground up, design the rides (or use rides from the extensive library), lay them out, decide what to charge to ride them all, and work to keep your guests happy and your park solvent.
They could have at least improved the rollercoaster construction system, which was arguably the worst part of Rollercoaster Tycoon, in that it relied on you opening a separate interface to raise, lower, and generally neaten up the ground because the rollercoaster tool often did such a poor job.
They say there’s a new engine under the hood; that’s it incompatible with all your old Rollercoaster Tycoon scenarios, but I think that was primarily a choice on their part, not something that occurred because of a programming necessity.
