If you are a tycoon game enthusiast, prepare yourself for an epic economics and trade game set in an enthralling period in American history. Frontier takes you on an in-depth journey back in time to the Wild West, and the opportunity to choose between a life of dignified trade and nobility, or a life of thrills, spills and petty crime! This is an exhaustive, RPG / tycoon adventure game for high school students and grownups where you have to buy, sell, trade, fight, recruit, and survive as you travel around America in the 'good ol’ days'.

The ‘Frontier’ is a term used to describe an expanding area in North America during a period in time between the early 17th century and early 20th century which saw the migration westward of settlements of Europeans and their descendants. The ‘Wild West’ is probably a more commonly used term today to describe this blend of U.S. geography, history, folklore, and cultural change during those centuries. Far from being just a place where pistols were easily drawn at dusk or dawn, the Frontier was an environment of rapid population growth and economic development, and was a catalyst for the formation of the United States. However, that’s enough of a history lesson for today! Let’s get stuck into the real action and function of the game!

Frontier is essentially a very good business management-style strategy game with some turn-based fighting thrown into the mix! You have to buy and sell goods, food, weapons, vehicles, and more, as you travel from town to town trying to become as successful and prosperous as possible. While you can opt to remain neutral, you can also choose to become a good guy (the Enforcer to finally rid the lands of roaming outlaws), or one of the naughty bad guys (the Buccaneers) along the way. Smart decision making skills, strategic planning and multi-tasking abilities, as well as economic nous are all important attributes to have if you want to survive in this tough landscape, and increase your wealth (money). The choice is yours Partner – remain a small fish in a one horse town, or travel the length and breadth of the nation in search of the American Dream! Either way, it sure is going to be a wild ride!

NYC Mafiosi is a dramatic and in-depth tycoon and money management simulation game for teens and grown-ups where you play the role of a very shrewd mafia family business leader. Far from getting your hands dirty, you act as a kind of a business overseer, carefully planning and managing your various bars, shipments, gangsters, bribes, and more on a detailed and dangerous quest to take over all 5 New York City Boroughs!

While this exciting, interactive business and entrepreneurial activity is based on the clearly dubious and corrupt principles of organized crime in the 1920s, real-life business skills centered around good money management, profit-making and logistics can still be honed and learned. To succeed in expanding your family’s claim to land beyond your initial borders, you must display shrewd tactics, cunning commercial strategies, and a canny knack for investing in 'profitable' enterprises. Building an empire requires ruthlessness, unwavering determination, and great patience when needed. In real life, crime certainly doesn’t pay in the long run… but in the virtual environment of NYC Mafiosi, this murky world is your oyster! Let everyone know right here that there’s a new 'Boss' in town who will stop at nothing to become the most successful tycoon in his game!

Where else to start than with one of the single best tycoon games of all time: Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe (read our short reviewCreate The Ultimate Transportation System in OpenTTDCreate The Ultimate Transportation System in OpenTTDOpenTTD, is easily accessible, free, and available for all major platforms.Read More).

2. Endless Expansion

Kongregate hosts a dazzling amount of browser games. I’m sure many of you have come across Endless Expansion in your time.

3. Theme Hotel

Theme Hotel is a Sim Tower clone (and more recently, Project Highrise). It is fast paced, featuring numerous levels. The objective is to quickly build a 5-star hotel from the ground up — literally. Your tasks include deploying support staff, deciding how many elevator shafts to put in, and choosing the number of rooms in the hotel.

An initially small hotel will quickly turn into a sprawling maze-like mess, so you’ll need some careful planning to succeed.

4. StudioTcn

StudioTcn is a music studio management game. You’ll attempt to become the world’s best music manager by creating (and managing) bands.

While StudioTcn is entirely text-based3 Tools to Create Your Own Text Adventure Games3 Tools to Create Your Own Text Adventure GamesWant to try making your own text adventure game? Here's your chance! These three tools will help you create your own complex and playable story.Read More, there’s a reasonable amount of depth. You can upgrade your band with better recording equipment for specific instruments, or unlock a “writer’s toolbox” to improve your song craft. Furthermore, you can upgrade your recording studio to unlock more bands — and more bands equals more money, equals you becoming the best manager in the land.

However, StudioTcn plays out in real time, with each daily turn ending at midnight. This means you can get a great tycoon game fix, without losing hours of your day (we’ve all done it).

5. Hardware Tycoon

6. Dinopark Tycoon

Dinopark Tycoon actually started life as both a retail and an educational game in the 90s. The educational version included extra information and classroom activities for teachers, and was designed to teach kids about managing their finances.

Dinopark Tycoon is basic. If you’ve played games from the DOS eraHow to Play Retro Games on Any Platform With DOSBoxHow to Play Retro Games on Any Platform With DOSBoxWant to play retro PC games on your computer, phone, or game console? Here's everything you need to know to get started with DOSBox, including the best games to emulate!Read More, you’ll understand. However, that doesn’t mean it isn’t fun, or a challenge. In fact, it is slightly more of a challenge given some of the antiquated navigation methods we’ve long since ditched. Better still, Dinopark Tycoon doesn’t hold your hand. If you splash your cash too early, it is game over, straight-up (and your dinosaurs will starve — that’s a little hint!).

7. Animation Studio Tycoon

Animation Studio Tycoon is another itch.io indie browser game. You’re tasked with building an animated studio dynasty, to match Disney and other great studios.

The game starts in the 1920s, so your initial range of animation technology is extremely limited. You have a few options to choose from, including the topic of the film, the genre, sound quality, and film base. Down below your studio is a research lab, where you can quickly begin to upgrade your studio’s technical prowess.

Perhaps the best feature is naming your films. Or, if you’re stuck, using the film name randomize button — there are some real gems in there!

8. Pizza Tycoon

Pizza Tycoon is another classic DOS game that you can now play in your browser. Don’t be fooled by the somewhat childish outline of pizza. You’ll decide everything from the building you want to rent for your first establishment, to the types of tables and chairs, to the waiters, ingredients, and more.

As was typical of many DOS games, it is a somewhat unforgiving challenge6 of the Hardest, Most Unforgiving Strategy Games Ever6 of the Hardest, Most Unforgiving Strategy Games EverReady to distinguish yourself from the masses?

9. Oiligarchy

Oiligarchy is a tycoon strategy game focused on everything oil… well, with a lighthearted focus on the “bad” side.

The game starts in the 1950s, with several untapped oil markets spread around the globe. You can fly your company to Alaska, Texas, Venezuela, Nigeria, and Iraq in search for black gold. Drill in Texas, and you’re good to go — oil aplenty. But drilling in a sensitive area comes with certain issues, as you’ll see.

Oiligarchy features a mocked-up Washington D.C., complete with government. “Help” the government during their election campaign, and they might grant you a favor or two afterwards.

So you see, it is an accurate reflection of real life.

10. Recordshop Tycoon

Our final tip is Recordshop Tycoon. I really like this game. You’re building a record shop empire from humble beginnings — starting with a single shop, and a single CD rack. You choose from the limited range of music genres, and slowly build a loyal customer base.

There are some handy marketing features, and you can add some useful upgrades to your store to bring more customers in.

That said, it is one of the easier tycoon games. You can go into debt to buy more records, increasing your stock. Expanding into a new store doesn’t take long.

Go, Build Your Empire
