Hey Ya'll,

I've been playing Railroad Tycoon 2 (1998) like a madman recently and have really enjoyed managing things while making money. Does anyone else know of some good money-making games (old or not) that are fun to play? Recommendations?

Two of my favorites that you might like:

Zeus Master of Olympus
Monopoly Tycoon

Rollercoaster Tycoon (1 or 2) was great too.

Sid Meier's Railroads! is coming out soon - look forward to playing that! :)

Corporate Machine. Older game, so the graphics leave a little to be desired, but the gamplay is really fun. You choose an industry to join, either soda, computers, automobiles, or airplanes. You choose a map, my favorite is just using earth and get one region with just a garage for production. You set the price and use your profits to improve your product, buy new buildings, research new markets, or advertise. While periodically you can use chance cards to sabatoge an enemies factory, instigate strikes, steal corporate executives, or a lot of other things. It is really fun and you could probably pick up a used copy for $5.

I got Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 in a cerial box, I like it, it's not bad.

Roller Coaster Tycoon (the first one and it's 2 expansions) and Zoo Tycoon 2 are fun games.

Capitalism 2.....you should get a degree with this game.

I've heard good things about Victoria...

Also it's supposed to be freakingly complicated.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 (and expansions). It's by the same guy, and is fun. Don't get the second one, it's... weird.

Don't get the second one, it's... weird.

Why? It has a lot of nice extra features.

Jones in the Fast lane (http://www.flashback-aw.net/games.php?GameID=28) hasn't been mentioned? It's jolly good and better with hotseating.

RCT1 and 2 rock too.

I've heard good thnigs about Victoria...

Also it's supposed to be freakingly complicated.

One of my favourites but it isnt about making money through... ;)

Capitalism 2.....you should get a degree with this game.

No joke, if you manage to stay ontop for 20 years you get an MBA through the mail from Harvard.

Transport Tycoon is pretty good, about 10 years old now though.

I liked simcity 4. Buggy as hell, although there are plenty of user-made patches that fix everything.

Locomotion is the sequel to Transport Tycoon.

SimCity 4 is good (join the region game!). Rush hour, The maxis patch and Network addon mod removes most bugs.

Open Transport Tycoon Delux (http://www.openttd.com/) is another excellent one. We play a few multiplayer sessions every now and then in the chatroom.

Here (http://www.the-underdogs.info/theme.php?id=4) is a list of games on the underdogs in the buisness section.

Indeed, Transport Tycoon (with OpenTTD) is a great game. Making networks is a lot of fun. :)

I like Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 the best! And Zoo Tycoon 2.

I like Simcity 4 Deluxe, Zoo Tycoon, and Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom.

Detroit
Merchant Prince I&II
Capitalism II
Transport Tycoon Deluxe

Patrician 3
Europa 1400: The Guild
Port Royale

I especially like Europa. The sequel comes out next month.
