Whats the best business game?

Post by RCBH928 »

Hello there,
Wondering if any one know a good business game. I do not recall seeing a business game where you start a firm and then grow. I guess Tycoon games count and maybe SimCity I am not sure. For me, the best game I recall is theme park. I played this game like back in '97 and still waiting to play it. Hopefully soon. Do u know of any good ones?

Wall $treet Kid?

Aerobiz?

Aerobiz Supersonic?

I have not spent much time with this genre - which is surprising when I think about it since I have an undergraduate degree in economics.

EDIT: I read that Theme Park is awesome, but I have yet to try it.

Total Extreme Wrestling can be very addictive, if you're fond of the actual business (and politics) behind pro wrestling. Also, if you don't mind not having pretty graphics to look at, since it's a text-based sim.

Trying to find a job in the US right now would be my best guess. I'm not being facetious, as I don't think there is a game out there that builds actual real life business skills. Kind of how like I can win every hand of poker in RDRedemption, but it doesn't translate to actual poker games.

If you are looking into games that help you dealing with budgeting, I've always liked Sim City on the snes.

You do bring up something interesting, as if there is a game that actually teaches you how to make business decisions (you know, other than spending guild on the investment of a sword) I've never heard of it.

Truth.

My answer is Excel, but I am being facetious.

The multiplayer is terrible and full of griefers. Plus, the leaderboards are full of people that used cheats.

A lot of clans won't even look at you if you don't have 500 verified kills either. How the fuck are you supposed to get verified kills if you aren't in a clan, you assholes? :x

haha I am not looking for a business simulator, maybe it would be cool if it existed, but I just dont recall having a game about owning a business and making a profit.

There are buidling cities, armies, civilization , even creatures. But no one did a business one. i think it would be highly addictive if it existed

@neilencio
thanx i will look at it, i am very much intro wrestling
