Game Tycoon Critic Reviews

Game Tycoon 1.5 needs a 1.6 patch to fix some out-standing issues, but otherwise provides a solid game as well as a trip down memory lane, from 1982 to present!

Where Game Tycoon falters is in its lack of depth and variety. Although the concept and myriad of options I described in the paragraph above are intriguing, there isn’t a whole lot to it beyond clicking check boxes on the screen and managing company economics.

The great sim that could have been, Game Tycoon is instead a dull entry in a genre that is already overflowing with dull entries.

The only enjoyment I got out of this game was seeing some sprites from classic games after completing a mission. The rest was just boring, if not annoying or frustrating.

If desiging and producing games was really as boring as <i>Game Tycoon</i> makes it, we'd all be playing <i>Zork</i>.

Despite the lack of satire and occasional lack of sense, the game is mostly playable. However, the interface and the odd bugs make it a chore.

This game is 2 inches deep and I found myself frustrated, bored, and maybe even a little angry at the problems with this game. Top this sundae of hate off with bland and boring music, and you've got a solid reason to pass on this one at the game stores. Even in the bargain bin.

The game isn’t completely without merit, just seriously lacking in fun.

I've seen better 2D games written for free by teenagers in Flash on Newgrounds.
