Industry Giant

I found this game to be simply addictive. Trying to build a business from scratch while others are stealing your resources at the same time. Used to play this as a kid back in the early 00's and reminiscing the old times.

I am probably mister negative here but this game is something you shouldn't bother. Even revisiting with some childhood memories isn't fun. I mean the graphics are somewhat nice, but it just is too boring and cumbersome otherwise. The whole interface feels clunky, setting up production chains takes way to much time, not that you set up much since half of your chain is already done for you. The music is so mediocre, I like some tracks but it isn't something I would come back to. And if you wonder, yes I have two recommendations, either play Transport Tycoon or Industry Giant 2, no joke the whole transport side was done way better in transport tycoon and this just feels like a really bad copycat of that. And the sequel to this game is just so much better, there is only one minus, you cannot terraform in the sequel, kinda sucks. But honestly the sequal is so much better, like boats make sense, you can ship allot of stuff in a boat. Ever seen a time where planes can carry more than boats? Well Industry Giant in a nutshell, the sequel doesn't do anything that ridiculous. The music man, so nostalgic with the second one and also super chill music you can hear outside of the game. Also th…

I play this purely for nostalgic reasons and I’m grateful it still exists. Industry Giant was my first PC game and I still have the physical disc, but it won’t run on modern hardware, so this version is the only way to relive it. Things to be aware of The game is unstable and randomly crashes (at least for me). It’s not optimised for multi‑monitor setups, so edge‑scrolling is a pain. And no, you can’t scroll with keyboard keys. The settings are extremely limited, which was pretty normal for games of that era. The good stuff It’s simple, easy to learn, and still fun once you get into the flow. You don’t need to babysit it, there’s no fast‑forward option, so you can leave it running while you go do other things. If it were more stable and had a few modern tweaks, it’d be perfect for reliving early PC sim vibes. But honestly, the imperfections are part of its charm and show its age in a good way. 5/10 - would recommend for nostalgia alone.

Get it but only if you have similar nostalgia itch to revisit a game from your childhood. Unfortunately the game was slightly buggy which killed any desire to try and play it for longer than an hour, which is a shame.

only play this game if you have like "crappy" monitor or something, because i check it with my LG 22mk400h-b and AOC 27B1H2, somehow the LG can display it properly meanwhile AOC have trouble display it ps: i use same GPU for the test
