Summary

Have you ever wanted the responsibility of managing a busy airport? If so then Airline Tycoon from Monte Cristo Multimedia will give you that opportunity. It was Theme Park that defined the business management simulation genre and showed how addictive being in charge could be. Since then, these kinds of games have branched out into different occupations such as running a pizza empire or being the boss of a railroad.

The aim of Airline Tycoon is to ensure the successful operation of your airport. You must find the right balance between making your customers happy and bringing in a tidy profit. Everything in the Airport is under your control from hiring and firing of staff to setting the comfort level of your planes.

The way that you play the game is completely customisable. You can choose either mission-based gameplay or opt for an open-structure approach. If you choose the missions you will be presented with tasks such as raising $5 million in a certain period of time or transporting X amount of cargo to X destination. In the free mode it’s up to what you do and how you go about it.

Airline Tycoon is a deeply involving gaming experience that will occupy many months of your time. It can be stressful at times with so many variables to contend with, but such is the pressure of being a manager. Especially, when lots of things start to go wrong at once, but once you get back on track you really do feel a sense of relief. If business management is your bag, Airline Tycoon will lose it for you.
