old game still play until today..
Airline Tycoon Deluxe is one of those quirky management games that manages to blend strategy, humor, and charm in a way few others do. Even years later, it’s still a blast to play. You’re not just running an airline—you’re dealing with competitors, managing staff, designing planes, and sometimes even sabotaging rival companies (in the most entertaining way possible). The cartoon-style visuals and tongue-in-cheek humor give the game a lighthearted feel, but underneath is a surprisingly deep and challenging business sim that rewards smart planning and creativity. The characters are memorable, the missions are engaging, and the random events keep every playthrough fresh. Whether you’re a fan of tycoon games or just love quirky classics, Airline Tycoon Deluxe is absolutely worth revisiting. It’s proof that great gameplay and personality never go out of style.
Game's great. Works like a charm (albeit in 20 FPS, though that's the game's dedicated limit), and controls are very comfortable on the Steam Deck. Brings back heaps of nostalgia. Must-buy if you like 90s Tycoon games.
It's a classic. Very nostalgic to play. I wish there was some modern titles with takes on this game style. To be honest, I was never very good at the management side of the game, but I always enjoyed running around looking for easter eggs. ^^
the fact you have to run back and forth to your office to see what planes you have booked up. bring your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fax ♥♥♥♥ with you. what a dumb ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game.
It’s interesting to look at some older games. Just take a look at the store page. The character design is unique, definitely not generic 3D trash. There’s that bald guy with the hair on the sides combed toward the middle, and the bearded man with the funny hair at his temples. The store page says the game was released in 1998, but visually it looks better so I think it might be a remake from the 2000s. It's an airline monopoly game. You walk around an airport, entering different rooms to purchase a new flight or create one yourself. You can also buy and sell stocks, the system goes into more detail you can issue new stocks, and there are mechanics involving stock prices, I also saw a buyback option. You can take loans, upgrade flight facilities, hire engineers, and if you buy a phone, you no longer need to walk everywhere, you can just sit in your office and let your legs rest. By today’s standards, the game is not fun to play anymore, but it’s enjoyable even just to watch the NPCs walk around and to explore the interesting layouts. I spent half an hour simply clicking on everything I could interact with, talking to NPCs, seeing what the game had to offer, those alone were fun. I can easily imagine if I owned this game back in the day I'd liked it. I bought this game at 90% off during Steam’s 2025 Winter Sale. I recommend picking it up on discount if you’re nostalgic or interested in older games. [u] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43342176-Why-Not-Games/#browse] My curator page[/url][/u]
Silly, funny, easy to learn. As tycoon games go, this isn't exactly a major challenge. But it's fun.
Childhood memories. Good and fun game. Chances are high that this game is better than at least 75% of todays triple ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ games. Enjoy.
Wer Retro mag und sich in die gute, alte Zeit ohne Schwierigkeitsgrad und Brimborium zurück versetzen will ist in diesem Spiel gut aufgehoben. Der Comiclook, der schräge Humor und das komplexe Wirtschaftssystem tun ihr übriges... Achso und eigene Flugzeuge kann man auch designen.
Fajna retro gra. Przypomniały mi się dziecięce lata.
