Fast Food Tycoon 2- I'd really like another one of these

[Kalmah]

This game is old and was in the budget-bin when I bought it years and years ago. I still re-install it every now and then.

I've seen other restaurant tycoon style sims, but this one is the only one I thought was ever worth playing. You are like a mobster pizza shop owner, you can send punks to scare customers at other restaurants, deliver cockroaches, you can demand protection money and send mobs over to shoot up the place. Blow up your competitors supply warehouses etc... It's just tons of fun. The most fun is actually organizing your staff, scheduling, getting supplies from your own warehouse etc.

I believe the developer went out of business shortly after this game's release. I doubt it's available to purchase anywhere. I highly suggest hunting this one down as it's a lot of fun. The learning curve is a bit steep and their are some bugs. (I can't remember, but I think there might be a patch floating around as well)

Here's a video of some gameplay. It appears that the person playing it set it so there are shitloads of 'citizens'. I like setting it to mildly low so that the strategic challenge is greater.

Anyways, It's a fun game to play in windowed mode while doing other stuff.

Oh wow, that page had a link to a video of Pizza Tycoon:

Had so much fun with that game back in the day. You could build your own pizzas, and you had to cater to different types of customers. I think you even got to choose how to decorate your restaraunt.

This is actually #2 of Pizza Tycoon if I'm not mistaken. They gave it a different name.

BTW, I came across http://fastfoodtycoonhq.videogames101.net/download.php while looking to see if there is a patch. Not sure if it's legit.

The tutorial in the game is buggy and stupid. Just make your way through it and figure the game out on your own. Once you get a manager you can have your manager auto-make your menu for you which I find to be much better than doing it myself.

My favorite is Cinema Tycoon 1 and 2. Dead simple but great atmosphere and fun.

I used to play the SimThemePark Rollercoaster tycoon or whatever it was called for hours back in the day.

Ahh yea. Countless hours into this game

Hmm. If you're looking for a more challenging sim of the "restaurant tycoon" genre, you should try out Restaurant Empire. It is very underrated IMO.

The lemonade one was the best.

Transport Tycoon Deluxe / TTDPatch / OpenTTD is probably my favorite of the business simulation types ...

Also really liked "Detroit" and "Airbucks" back in the day ... but those days were long gone. Also original Railroad Tycoon was awesome.

Any idea where I can get it (Pizza Tycoon 1/2)?

That link I posted 'might' have it actually. It appears to have a download for it.

I bought Airport Tycoon 2 on a recommendation from a guy I really trust even though the review scores aren't the great iirc.

He says it's one of his favorite games of any type, and he like a lot of games. He also warned me about the complexity and slow start; I haven't been able to get past that point yet.

According to him, once you get your airport running well it's pretty epic.

Well crap, good question. I forgot to mention I was running it in Ubuntu using Wine.

-w doesn't seem to work in the shortcut. Sorry, doesn't seem to be much resources on the net. I can't find any solutions.
