OT: Airline/Airport simulation games

flick70 · 08-20-2001, 12:08 AM

I was wondering if anyone knew of any new Airline or Airport simulation games coming out?

Right now there only 2 that I know of:

Airline Tycoon - Start and run your own airline.

Airport Tycoon/Air Mogul - Build and maintain your own airport.

Both really fall short of the mark in my opinion. If anyone has an idea of other simulation games (Not Flight Simulation Games) on the horizon..I would be interested in knowing!

AeroBIZ and AeroBIZ Supersonic are both available for the Super Nintendo...

One of the first ones I played 12 years ago was Airbus. Pretty fun but primitive graphics compared to now. Airport Tycoon I seem to be a complete failure at. Having a hard time figuring out how it really works or maybe I should keep my day job and forget airport management.

There is a new one that is comming out this week! It is called Wolf's World.

The objective is to see how many healthy airlines you can take and see how quickly you can get them into Bankruptcy. You get to compete with other players and see how quickly you can piss off the Unions, get your stock price at a 52 week low, and enrage a loyal customer base. Bonus points are scored with FAA and SEC investigations.

Players can play over the internet in real time action. You can even try to merge two airlines, but be careful of the DOJ! You can even use the airline's pension funds to increase your own net worth! You even get to have fun, like telling senior Airline pilots that instead of flying a 767, they can now fly a RJ with more flight time and less pay!

Boy I played the Beta version for the last year and I will tell you, it is quite entertaining. It is almost like real life. Another sister game is Dutta's World. The objective is to take a #1 airline and see how quickly you can get it into the bottom of all industry rankings. Try to beet Rono Dutta's real life record and you get a free one way coach ticket to Mumbai.
