Most Profitable Business Simulation.
Computer-based business simulation games have a long history. From the classic Pizza Tycoon to today’s Rollercoaster Tycoon, these business simulation games had a thought us valuable educational lessons as well as entertaining us for years to come. Today as we are preparing the release of our upcoming online business simulation game (The CEO Game), we thought it would be nice to list few of the leading business simulations of all times:
- Lemonade Tycoon – which is also known as Lemonade Inc was an online business simulation game based on shockwave. The goal of the game was to simply sell lemonade. This game, developed by Hexacto, quickly became popular and even won “The Best Pocket PC Strategy Game” Award by PC Magazine at 2002. Lemonade Tycoon was the first popular online business simulation game and opened up the way for further successful games and even our own game, The CEO Game.
- Pizza Tycoon – also known as Pizza Connection in certain places. Might be the most famous classical business simulation game ever. Pizza Tycoon, released in 1994, offers its players the opportunity to act as a local pizzeria manager. The game was both serious and humorous and quickly caught on, becoming very popular. After the games initial success two sequels called Fast Food Tycoon/Pizza Syndicate and Pizza Connection 2/Fast Food Tycoon 2.
- Rollercoaster Tycoon – Released at 1999 by Hasbro Interactive. It might be the most profitable business simulation game ever; in the years after its release the game made over 180 million dollars. The game simulates the management of a theme park. The game allows you to manage almost every aspect of your theme park. Rollercoaster Tycoon was much more entertaining than similar games such as Sim Theme Park and therefore succeeded where other have failed.
- Second Life – Although many people might not consider Second life as a business simulation game but as a Multiplayer online game, the fact is that the Second Life’s economy rolls millions of US dollars every year proves that it is in fact an online business game. Second life was launched at June 2003 and allows its player’s or a.k.a “Residents” to live in a virtual world in which everything is possible. The game itself has no “Winning goal” and allows its community to drive it anywhere they like.
The CEO Game.
