What is Computer Tycoon?
A grand strategy business sim viewed through a world map, where you start a computer company in the 1970s and compete in a global market through 2034. You research and design hardware and operating systems, set prices, manage production and marketing, and expand into new countries.
For you if...
- +you enjoy computer history and long-term business planning
- +you like making trade-offs between technology, price, and expansion
- +you want a sandbox option with competitors turned off
Not for you if...
- −you want hands-on construction instead of world-map management
- −you prefer straightforward systems over complex business decisions
What players say
85% of 1,022 reviews are positive
