Business simulation Sim

Post by ArmorPierce »

Are there any good business Simulation games out there? I've played the sims open for business and I thought it was pretty fun but far from perfect. Another game that I remember that I liked from back in the day was sim tower.

Do you mean financial or management simulators? The old Capitalism games were mainly the financial side.

I'd be interested in both I suppose. Something newer though. I tried rail road tycoon, the original one, and I had no idea what was going on little descriptions or anything.

There was a game called "Free Enterprise" that I remember from one of those CD-ROM sample packs for Win 95. It was a factory sim where you bought or rented a warehouse, machinery. Chose what to manufacture, who to hire. Managed workers, office space, sales, marketing, etc.

Wait, so are you looking for a game that simulates playing a business simulator?

That game rocked. Sometimes your works would go postal with an assault rifle if they became fed up with life.
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.

Railroad Tycoon 3 is the best one I have played. Easy to learn and very fun.

"C.E.O." Now that is a business game. Old game, very hard to play and James Couburn appears in it. Your in charge of improving your designated city to meet specified goals. You get to build residential housing and commercial\industrial buildings. You also can create or modify the city's mass transit system. The game also includes a stock market.

A very much an intellectual SimCity.
