Moon Tycoon - PC

I've been waiting for a Space Sim game for years. The wait is over and its been worth it. Let me just point out the aspects that make it so worthy. Gorgeous graphics. It really looks like you're on the Moon, flying around a space colony! You really have to play the game to understand. COMPLETE 3D camera freedom, beautiful Earth-rises, and just wait until night time and your colony night-lights turn on! I've spent hours just looking at the screen, drooling at the sights. Balance of gameplay. The game itself plays perfectly for a kid, or the expert gamer, providing lots of layers of depth to suit your needs. Build homes, communications and utilitie as the foundation, then grow into a mining, production, research or tourist colony. The designers of this game have really taken a fresh approach to the Sim theme, taking it in whole new directions. Cotnrols. The designers of this game have made a truly marvelous control system. You pick up the game in seconds, and the camera control fits like a glove. Other companies should take a look at the contol system here for pointers. Concept and Story. Usually a major flaw in most games, the story behind Moon Tycoon is both dramatic and very possible in the near future. Its nice to see that some game designers are actually putting some substance in a game. Plus, the script has loads of humor and more references to sci-fi movies than you can imagine. Lots more goodies. Two seperate soundtracks: either ambient or techno really let you immerse yourself into the game, 3D sound effects, and the coolest disasters ever in a game(you can bombard your colony with the "Armageddon" asteroid if you want!) And finally...the price! I'm simply amazed by the 19.99 price tag. This game could easily go for 39.99 and still sell strong. Probably the best value you can get for a game. I Highly Recommend!!!!

This will not work on my computer which uses Windows 7 64 bit version. I have not tested it on my old computer which uses Vista. It actually will install but has interference which would not make for any kind of good game play. I tried using Windows compatibility settings and it still would not work correctly. I have to give this a bad rating because it will not work and really it should work.

My twin 7 year old boys love Roller Coaster Tycoon. I was thrilled to see Moon Tycoon - it looked great! We just put it on last night and it was a big disappointment. Its very dark and hard to see what you've built. Its complicated for little kids (and their dad). We lost interest quickly. Its rated E so I thought it was geared to the younger set. It is not.

The game is fun, but the right side of the screen flickered constantly. It gave me a headache and was very annoying. There was no way to stop the horrible flickering and it was major flickering. This was the second game that I purchased and both disks did the same thing.

I like the premise of this game--build a colony on the moon or an asteroid and make it thrive--and the grapics are, for the most part, great. My main problem is getting enough money to buy all this expensive stuff. My moral and attraction are almost always in the minus numbers, but I like playing the game. (I never get any good Special Requests, either, but once Yoda visited my sister's colony.) I wish I could actually go inside and walk around, and sometimes there's nothing to do while you wait for your money to build up (in my case, until one of the advisors says, "Warehouse storage is at full capacity. You must sell some inventory, or build more storage," and then I sell off 600 tons or so of uranium, helium 3, and electronics). Sometimes graphics can get a little choppy, but it's not bad. I've had a little trouble with the campaigns, though. Campaign 1 was, for the most part, really, really easy. I got through "Outbreak" in Campaign 2 okay but now I'm stuck in "Tyranny." Maybe I'll get through it eventually, though. Bottom line: if you like sim games, or if you like outer space, get Moon Tycoon.

I have gotten one of these games before like 6 months ago and i got it with two other tycoon game called the Tripple Tycoon Pack for ten dollars and this one game alone for 20 dollars rediculous

it doesnt work!!! VERY UNHAPPY I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME FUN. ALL I GOT WAS FRUSTRATION, IT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO BUY FROM HERE AGAIN REGARDS BEN SOUZA

There are a lot of things to enjoy in this game, such as the great 3D graphics which make you feel that you are really on the moon. My biggest gripe is that it is too simple. Once you've played it once or twice it gets boring. There are only a few types of buildings, and your only option is to keep building the same ones over and over again. Adding additional, more advanced buildings would help the game immensely. I would also like to see the colony doing more changing itself, dependent on the kinds of choices the gamer makes. Overall, it is a fun game, but only for a little while. Except in terms of graphics, it really can't compete with games like Roller Coaster Tycoon and Railroad Tycoon.
