Do you still play Tycoon games? What's your favorite?

>>377907725
Damn i still remember this game, i used to think i could feed lions by putting giraffes or other herbivores inside their fences.

Good times.

>>377907725
RCT obviously

>>377907725
Not these days, but when I was a kid I played Zoo Tycoon 1-2 and Rollercoaster Tycoon pretty religiously. I still have the boxes and disks for some, some of them are so damn old the boxes are literally falling apart.

RCT

Don't get your hopes up to high, the development branch for this has been dry for just over a year now. Not sure if it was too unstable and they abandoned it or it is just at the very end of the to-do features list.

The images that came out of the testing phase though are stunning

Open TTD blows everything else out of the water.
With 64 bit support, mods, multiplayer and patches with features and fixes every other week how can anything compare.

I try to when I can. Latest I've played was Planet Coaster on PC. Kinda hoping something like it would come to the switch

I know RCT is the favorite around here, but I spent my childhood playing Zoo Tycoon 1 and 2. Too bad there will never, ever be a sequel

>>377912781
we should make it

>>377912885
You'd think at least one indie dev would have jumped on the concept by now

>>377912781
It'd be nice if we had something like how Cities: Skylines catered to the Sim City fans.

Oh my god just looking at that screenshot is making me smile.

This might sound super lame, but if you ever do end up making a zoo tycoon game, you should include an encyclopedia or some kind of educational component.

Those games were a major reason for my getting into zoology as a kid.

Honestly i'd love another game like Zoo tycoon.

Are Zoo Tycoon games still fun today?
i only played theme hospital and RCT2 in the past and i felt like trying another.
most other tycoon game seemed like to be a miss.

>>377915938
I think they both hold up very well

Back then I didn't really know how to torrent so I was really sad when I found out about marine mania expac and couldn't get it
>>377915938
I believe so, I'll try them out today probably. I always like how you had to change the exhibit and shit in it to match the animal's preffered environment and climate

God tier game.

Even when you are 8 year boy who is scared of almost all games, building your own zoo is very fun, relaxing and can keep you sucked in for hours. And when you learn how to cheat $, you dont even need do get gud to enjoy it.

Shame it is not on gog. This is probably my first pirated game, because at that time you couldnt even legally buy it in my country. And from certain size of your zoo, the workers stopped clearing poos because your CPU didnt manage to compute AI right.

>>377917315
>CPU-CRIPPLING AMOUNTS OF POO

Anyone up for hosting an RCT2 server? It's fun on multi.

I really love OpenTTD and OpenRCT2, best open source games

SimFarm.

There still has not been a contender for it.

I can't believe isometric tycoon games haven't gotten the indie treatment

>played all rct games when I was a kid
>was really good at making custom coasters
>pick the game up again years later as an adult
>suck at making coasters that visitors actually want to ride

Feels bad man

OpenRCT2 has to be the best thing that happened to theme park games ever. Fuck Planet coaster and all that fancy shit

Genuinely the perfect game. It does lacks the changeable camera like RCT2. I know that Locomotion had that but nobody made the open source version.

>>377921682
Everyone builds on the same map, unlimited dosh. Group sandbox basically, like a collab park but all at once.

>tfw when no cool kickstarter tycoon games

>>377922321
>kickstarter

no thanks, that's an immediate red flag. most indie devs avoid tycoons since they require a half decent artist and there's a lot of logic in the game compared to shitty side scrollers and other shit.

I would gladly play them to this day if we could get good new versions.

FFS I would settle for an HD remake of the old games.

I dump hours on top of hours into those games when I play them.

>>377912781
I just want a remaster of ZT2.

A new game would be great too but that is asking too much.

>>377923556

Cute, but the map projection is a bit weird. It's too angled up in the air.

>trapping the customers in a cage with tigers

I was a born psychopath.

>>377907725
haven't played them in ages, don't know why though.
i have so many fond memories about the older ones like dinopark,pizza,railroad and transport.

be honest, did you guys jew out the prices on soda and pizza stores?

>>377924076
As far as I know, the games are almost impossible to find without pirating them outright. I'm lucky I still have my old copies

i'm pretty sure i have pizza tycoon somewhere, i just don't have a clue where. i should go through my collection, i burnt a few dvd's years ago to save my good old classics.

>>377912304
I wish I could get into this

>>377926236
It's a simple game

What's the appeal of tycoons anyway? Why not start your own business if you like looking at spreadsheets and create business plans?

>>377928117
>why play games? you can do those shit FOR REAL outside

>>377928117
Sadly I lack the dosh to build my own theme park.

Cause that shit costs thousands of actual money we don'y have and lots of risk we can't afford.

>>377926236
what seems to be the problem?
transport tycoon is really straight forward and simple.

>>377929064
That's barely comparable to OpenTTD. It's more of a strategy game where you use every means necessary to fuck over your opponents so you win.

>>377930172
It mixes management elements of different medieval crafts and profession with sims-like control of your dynasty. Including politcal backstabbing and cloak and dagger tactics.

Nothing better than dragging the patriarch of a rival family in front of court on thing evidence, but throwing him into the debt tower anyway, because all city officials are your family members.
