Once the tents are up, the show starts, and the cash (with luck) comes in.

In SHRINE CIRCUS TYCOON (Activision Value Publishing $20) you spend your $25,000 in seed money on clowns, clown trailers, snack bars and those important portable bathrooms. Most of the new simulations, if not all of them, measure progress with money in the bank, often shown ticking up or down in the corner of the screen. Checking the minimum hardware requirements, particularly the graphics card memory, may help you avoid trouble. Your biggest worry with many of the new simulations may be getting them to run the detailed graphics can throw an older computer into cardiac arrest. The program has a Teen rating because of things like implied relationships between couples, minus explicit details. You can spend hours tinkering with a clever new genetics component of the game, with which you can specify details in people, then watch as they develop and are passed on to the next generation.

Likewise, in THE SIMS 2 (EA $50), you can nose around in the lives of your artificial family as they burn breakfast, put up with Grandpa's stories or flirt with others. Once you're finished, you can walk around and enjoy a day at the zoo (that is, until the crocodiles get out). Microsoft's redesigned ZOO TYCOON 2 ($40) makes building the dream zoo even easier than the last edition did, with more land-sculpturing tools for ponds, mounds and moats. Or you can ride the rides at night, thanks to a new lighting system. You can also create your own family to turn loose in the park, and see which rides they prefer. In ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON 3 (Atari $35) you can look inside trash cans to see if they've been emptied or strap yourself into the fast Mega Coaster and scream as the ride rounds each curve. With today's simulations, you can see things up close. This is a major advance from classics like Sim City 2000, which featured cities with people the size of ants, or the first Microsoft Zoo Tycoon, in which you could barely discern the smaller animals. All you need is a robust graphics card in your computer and a burning desire to make money.īy far the coolest feature of the new simulations is the way you can roll the wheel of your mouse forward, zooming in for a first-person view. With the latest batch of simulations, you really can buy the farm, spending thousands of dollars and making decisions that can lead to profit or disaster, although without the real-world consequences. Now, at least, you can pretend to, thanks to a recent increase in the number of tycoon game programs. It is in my nature to be pessimistic so I'll remain pessimistic and expect this 2020 game to actually be Planet Racing, a game that nobody asked for.FEW people ever make the decisions a business tycoon does. But I think we can legitimately expect decent customization from Frontier. This day may never come tbh and it's been years I've stopped waiting for a worthy successor. Just to be clear, I'm not saying Frontier will give us the Zoo Tycoon we crave. Same thing for the efficiency of buildings.

So I'd say there still is hope when it comes to customization.Ībout the animal choices, I have no idea, I'd be pessimistic on this one after Zoo Tycoon Xbox.

Imo, it would not make any sense to call it Planet "X" and not deliver on customization. Since the game seems to be called "Planet Zoo", I hope it to be the Planet Coaster of zoo management games and hence to have at least decent customization (I'm guessing they'll use the same engine as well). Granted, Frontier could still pull a JWE on us and be VERY restrictive on customization. Just take a look at some of the fans' creations. Customization is much more advanced than RTC3's or ZT2 for that matter. Have you played Planet Coaster? Afaik, it is the most customizable roller coaster park management videogame as of now.
