The worst game I have seen in years.

Being a avid "Build 'em" game fan, I had high hopes when I saw this game. My first warning that I was going to have problmes was that the box had one name, the manual another name, and the screen shots in the manual had yet a third name for this program. The manual lacks any rules required for the operation of the game. The interface is inconvienient at best. I was unable to rotate any pre-made airport terminals, or views around my terminal. If you are unfortunate enough to get property with the road entering on the wrong side, then you have to build roads all the way around the terminal on the pre made ones. In my early games, options that the game said I had to have for the airport to function, such as tarmacks and fire stations and control towers, were unavailable as building options. Given this fact, I was unable to progress very far in the game. One of the companies listed in the back of the manual as tech support disavow any knowledge of this product, and the other source failed to return any e-mails. If it wasn't for the fact that the game was opened, I would have returned it for my money back the first night. What a waste of time and money. It appears to me that the product was packaged up and shipped in hope that some money would still be able to be made off the initial investment.

THE MOST HORRIBLE SIMULATION GAME CURRENTLY!!!!!!

This is one of the worst games in the world. The tutorial is poorly built and confusing. Even DinoPark Tycoon is funner. It seems like this game only took 1 day to make. The management is horrible, graphics are horrible, and this game will make a good sleep pill. It is so difficult to learn and once you master it, it is boring. I recommend that you don't buy this game if your life depended on it.

Awful

The game is horribly designed. One of the first things you must do is place the airport runway, and you are required to do this without being able to zoom out far enough to see the ends. It gets worse from there.

This program tries to be a serious business sim and a Sim City type of game but instead does neither well. The manual is too small to help. In the time it takes a plane to land several hours have passed. Night time never comes and though flights are delayed by bad weather nothing reflects the bad weather other than the warning on your pager. Oddly enough, I saw a remarkably similar program entitled Airport Inc on the web that looked more involved but it was obviously the same graphics. I think this company is just trying anything they can to recoup losses incurred in making this turkey. Too bad though - it's a great idea.

I like many other unfortunate consumers, purchased this game with high hopes. The tutorial in this game takes forever and never shows the complete process to build the airport. Control towers are non-existent and are required to play. I would have returned the game but unfortunately this cannot be done once opened. I'm a big fan of simulation games, and this one belongs in the trash! Could have been a fun game.

This game looked good from the front and back covers. However, I can never seem to start it I get to the main menu and boom. Im back at my desktop. The tech support part of the manual isnt that good and if u call the tech support phone #, they need to know all this stuff about your computer and they dont tell you how to find any of it out. I would not reccomned buying this game.

Stay away!

You'd think, OK, someone new is following in the steps of Railroad Tycoon (like Chris Sawyer when he did Transport Tycoon), but not this game. The game won't even work the right way. I can't even build the terminal! Stay away. If you're thinking "It has the word tycoon" step back.

I haven't been able to play this game yet as it, apparently, only instals on a windows 95/98/me system. I have an XP and it won't even open the install applet to install it. When I get around to setting my 98SE back up I will try it on there and then maybe I will have something to say about the game play of this game.

Horrible...total waste of money

This is a horrible game. Do not waste your money. The interface is terrible, the menue vanishes at times and you have to restart the game as well as the lag of just trying to get the mouse to move to a position. There is no help for the game at all. I have tried four times to create an airport and never get any contracts and the place runs out of money...game over.

Total and complete waste of energy. You have been warned. I hate that I have to give it one star.
