Automobile Tycoon

It's Detroit! Well, not many would remember that one. Detroit was an old MS DOS/Amiga game letting the player start their own car company, circa 1908. It was simple, and had a bug in it at least in the DOS version that would kill your company after so long, no matter what you do. Automobile Tycoon is essentially a modern day, louder iteration of that theme. You take over as head of a car company, develop new drivetrains, chassis, technologies, and cars, and hope to sell enough to offset management embezzling everything they can to fund their drug and other habits. Just like real life! Unfortunately, while management are not real people and have no legal rights, just like in real life, you can't dispose of them in the proper fashion; you're stuck with the <redacted>, unlike in real life. It's a business sim, and as such, probably kinda niche, but I find these style games fun. Even if I kinda suck at them. Alas Starburst Motors; your 1906 Flamebolt Six powered line of sedans, coupes, and trucks all riding the same chassis is doomed. Until the next time 1905 comes around. Should have tried Meteor Shower instead. It's not the prettiest game around, but it's serviceable, and the UI is clean and easy to quickly grasp and learn. Mechanics are likewise simple to learn, harder to master. Pretty good balance between just enough challenge and complexity. There is a difficulty range to adjust things if you'd like, as well as some anti-frustration things like calling your uncle for a bailout. So if you like cars, business sims, or some combination thereof, this is a good one to try out.

Nettes Spiel, einfach gehalten, macht immer wieder Spaß ein paar Runden zu klicken.

Will this game ever be further developed? It reminds me of a game I played with friends in the 90's - I think it was called Detroit.

Doufal jsem že půjde o následníka hry Motorcity (1994) ale tento produkt byl zklamáním. To že se toto dostalo mimo předběžný přístup jako regulérní hra nechápu.

The game has an extremely distinction art style and offers the automobile industry to the sim management arena and it does it well. It is in the right price bracket for the value it gives. It's replayability might be average for Sim Management games however but this is difficult within that area of gaming.
