Game Tycoon 1.5

Kinda ironic to make a game about game development and make it an unplayable disaster.

This game goes in the "WTF did I just play" category, and not in a good way either. Sure, Game Tycoon 1.5 is over 10+ years old. But man, it is so broken beyond repair that I'm surprised the devs published it as complete AND even slapped a price tag on top of it. So many unresponsive buttons from the moment you enter the menu; Campaign button crashes the game, and there other 2 difficulties (easy + hard) cannot be selected when you reach the creation. Now in the game, all voice lines you cannot speed through or skip the boring dialogues. The VAs have the most slowest speech and most mono-tone sounding voice, it feels like they just used a bot talking with speed x0.5 or x0.75 at the fastest. There's a tutorial, but I could barely handle that with all the flaws above. It's even worse when some of the NPCs don't have a dialogue bubble pop-up while instructing you how to play, so good luck remembering all of that if audio-learning is your weakest asset. The game is not beginner friendly, and fails to properly teach players how to even manage their first program. The graphics are horrid. Everything looks so stretched with some blurring on my screen, Clearly the devs did not consider acc…

Game Tycoon 1.5 approaches the familiar business simulation genre from the perspective of the video game industry, placing the player in charge of building a development company from humble beginnings. Developed and published by Sunlight Games, the game begins in 1982, an appropriate starting point for a simulation interested in following the evolution of computer gaming. Its central idea has considerable potential: establish a studio, understand an emerging entertainment market, develop games, manage business relationships, and gradually adapt as technology and consumer expectations change. The game offers three playable entrepreneurs, each pursuing the goal of creating a successful development house. Rather than concentrating exclusively on designing individual games, the simulation attempts to represent the broader commercial ecosystem surrounding the industry. Banks and investors can matter to the financial side of the company, while manufacturers, distributors, retailers, magazines, and the press contribute to the process of bringing products to the market. This broader approach gives the game more ambition than a simple cycle of selecting a genre, developing a product, and c…

Very enjoyable and worth every minute I spent playing it.
