Customer Reviews
Car Tycoon
Car Tycoon is a manager game in which you are the owner of a car company that produces and sells cars. You start in the 1950's in a small town somewhere in the USA. You build a factory, a car shop and a repair facility (most of your money is gone by then) and start to produce cars. By selling them, you'll get money to invent new parts which will then power your new car models. There are up to 3 computer players which want to become rich, too.
Features:
develop more than 400 cars, 7 different types
40 scenarios
more than 400 pre-made cars from 1950-2000
more than 300 different buildings

Not the best, by far.
To make a long review short: You would be much better off playing Old Timer (Motor City), or even Detroit. This game is like a shoddy remake with flashier graphics.

Don't buy this game
I bought this game because I loved cars. When I loaded it I found messages kept coming up in German. I returned the game for a new one. This seemed to work fine. I then noticed that the woman in the bottom right hand corner of the screen sometimes speaks German. I then discovered that sometimes when trying to sell off models, they get stuck and you can't remove them. The biggest problem I found though was that I put in 7 hours of work into a supposed "open ended game" to find that once saved, and I was the leading manufacturer, when reloading the game it comes up with a message saying "Time has expired" and then a message saying "competitor has attained goal". I would never but this game again, or anything from this supplier. I would never recommend them and if there were a similar game around by another supplier I would buy it because I don't think it could be any worse than Car Tycoon.

Horrible Game!
This game is horrible! It has no point whatsoever and things take forever to do! I sometimes leave it there for hours so it can do something, and when I come back, POOF! All my money has gome down the drain! Sheesh!

ways ton waste $...
The concept for this game had me intrigued, however once I installed it all I can say is ....simple. There are so many possibilities in this concept that just don't pan out or simply wern't explored. For instance I can't change the color or name the car types. Also for some reason dealerships won't change the types of cars they sell. What can I say but the game lasted less then a week and now its a fairly good frisbee!
