Software Tycoon

It's 1982. Small computer games companies are springing up in the bedrooms around the world. A new business beckons, where everything is in your hands. You have total control, from creating the original concept, through hiring staff and packaging design, to the development of massive marketing campaigns. Do you have the skills to create and use new technologies and become a Software Tycoon?

Sounds original. Well, i never played railroad tycoon, so it sounds original to me :).

Interesting, i wonder if this kinda of game could take off...?

[System]

Not that original. I remember a game on the Spectrum called Software House, probably written by one of the very "software tycoons" we're trying to be in the came. It wasn't very good, though - it was all text-based!

[Coder]

I want to have! Gimme gimme! This rocks. There is no mention of any specs about what machine you need. Anyone?

This game is really worth while to buy!

Coder

[Coder]

On the site it says the following about the game..

Sabotage your ruthless opponents.

Well, I think Bill Gates would love this game.

Hi-Res graphics and videos in 800x600 dpi.
Yikes that much. On my 15.1" that'll be like 6900*3900 resolution. Hope it's not in 3D...
:-D :-D :-D

[Coder]

Will it run on OS4??? I could not find the specs. Maybe I should look better.

Requirements:
PPC is required, 68k is not yet decided (if it is going to be 68k also, you will need a 060 Processor), 32MB fastmem and gfx-card support.

cheers

Well I for one will not be parting any money for an un-heard of title.

Anyone remember Detroit? After a few hours play, you lost the will to live.

Not knocking the game but, until I see some screenshots, a playable demo or a review, I am not parting with cash again.

I remember buying the Amiga conversion of Street Racer by Guildhall. Ouch! Never was £15(ukp) wasted on so much pooh!

Good luck to Software Tycoon, The game idea sounds promising, but I await more information first.

Ouch!

Sorry forgot to log in first!

- Duh!

[System]

Didn't I talk about such an Idea not so long ago on this very site...

OI! Stop pinching my ideas!

[Coder]

Hi Wildman,

You mean the idea of the game?

Coder

[Coder]

I hope there will also be a demo available for download. Then we can have a look.

Coder

[scorchio]

is it just me or is Coder the most enthousiastic member of Amiga.org....from the looks of today's postings he sounds ready to grab his member! - lol :-D

Just jesting Coder!

Game sounds alright though, but it's just another "Sim" clone...
