Great list of the games. I am fun of the genre. And I played all Sim City games. Sim City 4 is my favorite. I would recommend Cities XL. I tried it, and it is really great!

Great collection. I haven't played Prison Tycoon or Hotel Giant.

I've been hooked on tycoon games ever since I first played rollercoaster tycoon and SimCity and they are still some of the best tycoon games in my experience.

Hi I never thought Prison Tycoon was any good from review scores but thought the idea was good, I kept avoiding it but now I'll have to check it out again since you rated it highly

sinclair89 on 12/01/2011

Good stuff! Huge fan of Sim City 4. Wish they would come out with a REAL update. For now I will be content with downloading mods and getting every ounce of value out of this somewhat dated classic.
