i didn’t play very much monopoly tycoon ( i usually tried on too high a difficulty and lost quickly ) , but it was enjoyable and impressively unique .
ah , monopoly tycoon . while civ iv will remain my favorite multiplayer strategy game , this one offered up a unique experience that has yet to be recreated .

the bigger initial design issues were more in the approach . “the problem was divorcing ourselves from monopoly , and realising that we were making social - sim and world - building game… we’re not building monopoly anymore , ” clive says , “trying to differentiate away from monopoly , while maintaining some monopoly feel . we could have developed a monopoly boardgame or a tycoon game , but what we were desperately trying to do was to make something in the middle . the teething problems were building something that was neither one nor the other . ”
most previous pc games based on monopoly have gone in one of two directions : they either combine the classic property - trading game with another popular license , as in monopoly star wars edition , or they use the strong monopoly brand and distinctive graphics to spruce up another type of game , as in monopoly casino . fortunately , monopoly tycoon breaks the mold by using the popular board game as the base on which to build a strong and innovative , and great - looking , real - time game of business management and city building .

from the developers of the cruelly underrated entrepreneur sim , monopoly tycoon , tycoon city allows armchair egomaniacs to build a business empire from scratch and run the greatest city in the world . but while reaping the rewards of your labour is fun for a while , the games shortcomings soon become apparent .
all it does is make me want to make my own “game dev tycoon” with more sane gameplay choices .
take a look at the upcoming business simulation game based on the classic monopoly board game . new screens inside .
monopoly tycoon is a fun game about buying and selling property , building businesses , and managing money . while the game includes a great deal of depth and a significant number of options , some of that complexity is optional , which leaves a basic game that ' s straightforward enough for almost anyone to play . fans of monopoly will appreciate the way monopoly tycoon extends the board game into a new and interesting direction , and the game ' s few minor faults are far outweighed by its strong combination of crisp graphics , involved and varied gameplay , and entertaining premise .
“monopoly tycoon was , for us , a very cool opportunity , ” he saays , “my background is in hasbro and parker and the boardgame industry . it meant that we could create a game which bridged the gap between board and computer games . we didn’t want to do what everyone else had done , which was a version of monopoly where you put the game board vertically and put it on the screen and play the exact same experience as the boardgame… except the boardgame was far more fun . we wanted to use the key elements of monopoly and actually create a game that was specific for the pc . the game was different to monopoly , but you always felt like you were playing monopoly” .
i loved this game at the time and still do . it was a really great use off the monopoly license .

it always amuses me to see max weber grossly misquoted like this ; he doesn’t merely observe that government “has a monopoly on force , ” but rather suggests something far more interesting : that government is a monopoly on the legitimate use of force .
while deep structure was one issue , a lot of this was achieved in a more aesthetic manner . by looking like monopoly tycoon and using its signifiers , deep red managed to maintain its atmosphere . “through taking the key elements – like , say , the colours , ” clive says , “if you play monopoly tycoon , you’ll see all those blocks are in those familiar colours . so pall mall is always purple , park lane is always dark blue , bond street was always green… and really posh , and whitechapel , being brown , was not posh . taking those colour cues from the original game really worked to cue the monopoly feeling”

piracy or not , game dev tycoon is surprisingly fun and addictive . although the actual tycoon aspect is a bit underplayed , the game simply doesn’t have the scope to make you feel like you’re managing a huge business , even after you become a ridiculous powerhouse of gaming .

i ' ll first start off by saying i love monopoly . . . in looking back at my childhood i remember countless nights sitting around a little card table in our living room playing for hours ! ( back before the idevices ruled the world ! ) well now that technology has come into play , we ' ve digitalized and so have many of our gaming habits . when i stumbled across monopoly tycoon and read the reviews and description - i knew i was destined for hours of fun . upon receiving the game , i installed it on our family computer running windows xp with no problems whatsoever . the installation only took 3 - 4 minutes and it was time for gameplay ! the game itself is quite fun and keeps you engaged . i don ' t want to spoil all the fun you ' ll see but keep this in mind . if you love any of the monopoly board games or monopoly itself . . . . you ' re likely going to love monopoly tycoon just as much !
monopoly tycoon uniquely combines the addictive elements of the most popular simulation games , strategy games and , of course - the monopoly game ! choose which businesses are built and where . match wits with cunning ai opponents or tear into family and friends in ruthless multiplayer mode . watch your profits grow and increase your control in real - time , in a crushingly competitive , living city . don ' t stop until you own it all !

not a patch on rollercoaster tycoon but monopoly was an excellent game . it didn’t just make the board game a computer game , it adapted the board game for the gaming medium . brilliantly realized , it managed to offer a thoroughly enjoyable management game with the underlying mechanics of the board game intact .

monopoly tycoon is the kind of game you might have imagined as a kid while you played the real board game . the game includes all the familiar monopoly elements , such as buying and selling properties and utilities , collecting rent , and managing your money , but it expands on the idea by letting you build a variety of retail and residential buildings and then manage your businesses by setting stock amounts , prices , and rent . if you ' ve ever wanted to see what an expensive boardwalk hotel would look like up close , this is your chance . while monopoly purists may be wary of the numerous changes and additions that have been made to the classic game , the end result is a pleasing and challenging blend of city building and economic management , all created in the familiar , lighthearted style of monopoly .

most of us have played the monopoly board game . have you ever wondered who lives in marvin gardens ? according to monopoly tycoon , the answer is voters . all of the elements of the family - favorite board game have been turned into a 3 - d city - building simulation . you start off , of course , as a real - estate developer who buys land and must decide what purpose each property must serve to bring about the greatest public good : commercial , residential , or industrial . as your wealth and power grow , you ' ll throw your hat into the race for mayor . considering how the original board game made cutthroat competition fun , it should come as little surprise that monopoly tycoon allows up to four players to campaign against each other for the mayor ' s office over the internet or a local area network .
monopoly tycoon does more with a tabletop game license than any game i ' ve ever personally played . the sharp mix of real - time action and simple - yet - deep strategy will keep you coming back for more . the pricing engine could have been tighter , and it ' s somewhat frustrating to have to bust your way through a number of the single - player challenges before you can get to the really interesting ones , but any fan of the genre owes it to themselves to check monopoly tycoon out . it ' s orders of magnitude better than the board game ( which , honestly , isn ' t saying much ) but , more importantly , it ' s quite a bit more fun than most real - time strategy games released recently .
it’s been quite awhile since i played it but i remeber being blown away by it since all i was looking for was a competent computer version of monopoly . it is so much more than that .
those who relish the classic monopoly game ' s blend of chance and strategy may find monopoly tycoon to weigh too heavily on the strategy side - - there ' s no dice rolling , and the
chance
and

cards have been turned into an optional element . some may also find the game ' s real - time gameplay too hectic ; while the game does have a pause feature , you can ' t make adjustments to your businesses and properties while the game is paused . this can be somewhat frustrating as you try to research your competitor ' s businesses and adjust the prices of your own products . at some stages in the game , the pace does slow down ( usually between the hours of midnight and six in the morning ) , which gives you a little bit of breathing room to fine - tune your businesses . another classic monopoly element that is missing is the sense of dread when you land on boardwalk - - in monopoly tycoon , the dread you will feel will be caused by mr . shoe ' s hardware store across the street undercutting your prices , or the fear that you ' ve mismanaged your money and might be eliminated from the game due to bankruptcy .
monopoly tycoon is a continuation of the other tycoon games . however , the levels are too easy to beat . the time clock on the game is too fast . an hour in game time takes just 30 seconds . a day is over in less than five minutes . on each level , you have to start over from scratch . you lose all of the property you bought and developed on the previous level . the best thing i can say about it is that i didn ' t pay too much money for it . i would recommend you find a free download and play it and save your money .
this story has been told a number of times , but the decision by antitrust commissioner david gilo two weeks ago to retreat from the agreement that would perpetuate yitzhak tshuva and noble energy ' s monopoly . . .

cards organized and neat . this release remains faithful to the basic rules of the original classic board game while adding lots of computerized
bells and whistles ,
like sound effects , animation , and 3d graphics . virtual tycoons direct construction on their real estate and can actually watch as the cityscape game board grows and develops over time . gamers can play against computer ai - directed moguls or go online to challenge human opponents . up to six players can compete over a local network or the internet .
unlike the classic sim city games - where players have to worry about infrastructure and building roads , powerlines and accommodation - tycoon city is all about getting rich quick by constructing shops , businesses and services to fleece the busy nyc inhabitants .
i was expecting a bit more “under the hood” in terms of gameplay depth , but the algorithms for creating a solid game seem to be set in stone . still , i had my fun with the game and wish it well when it goes on sale on steam . i think a resurgence in the “tycoon” games akin to theme hospital and roller coaster tycoon would do well with today’s gamers , especially after simcity left a sour taste on a lot of people’s palette .
[ ah , been a while . i did a series of post mortems for pc format over a few years , chatting to a dev a month about the development of a game . i’ve republished the vast majority here already , but i find there’s a few left over like this one with deep red in 2006 about monopoly tycoon . it’s one of the games which i felt as if i was just about the only person in the demi - core - gamer demographic to actually get it . ]
i bought this game back in 2001 but somehow managed to lose it and decided to buy it again but getting hold of an older game isn ' t always that easy . this company had a used copy which did include the instructions on how to play the game as well . it works very well on windows 8 . 1 , just have to select the compatibility mode and turn off the music for it to run . if you have never played it , it is well worth buying ! monopoly tycoon ( pc cd )
but ran fine on xp . basically does what it says on the tin . plays well , looks pretty and passes the time . i like these kind of

games but if you are not a fan its unlikely to convince you otherwise .
during utility overload , when the ball is bounced around the electric company pop bumpers , mr . monopoly will sometimes say
feel the power !
that phrase has been used in quite a few other pat lawlor tables ; this might be one of its ' most literal uses .
apparently , the british company carter gents of leicester has a global , temporal , and metaphysical monopoly on making air raid sirens , because , regardless of universe and time period , an air raid of some description will always be prefaced with the sound of a carter gents siren from world war ii .
cole was referring to tycoon tsai eng - meng , who purchased the china times group , a taiwanese media conglomerate , in 2008 . tsai made his fortune selling snack foods and beverages , operating more than 100 manufacturing plants in china . forbes listed him as taiwan ' s richest man in 2013 .
there ' s even more than this - - getting a monopoly on a particular colour lets you build hotels , which can get you megabucks , and the prestige of various blocks changes both the amount of money you make and who ' s attracted to buying from them . there ' s a lot of complexity here .
i love this game and if you are a tycoon game player then you will to . you will have to download the patch from the internet for the operating system software that you ' re using on your pc but it isn ' t hard to find the patch , just do a search for it .
while he argues the rts is struggling , the tycoon game’s is getting increasingly large crossover appeal . “internally our mindset has gone from saying “we build tycoon games” to “we build social - simulations” . i think that’s what we do , ” clive claims , “we try to simulate social environments , which works really well for us and plays into the dynamics of what people want these days . even though ostensibly it’s the same thing , we change the wrapper . as opposed to people getting feedback on a graph , they get feedback from – say – when they build a café people really enjoying your cup of coffee . ”
heh , ironically i also recently wrote a piece on this game ( hoping to stick it up online soonish ) – it was nice to return to it , although was a little saddened that i couldn’t get it to run with sound on vista . great game though , probably my favourite tycoon out of all of them .
game dev tycoon is pretty good for what it is , but badly needs to give more feedback to the player . there are so many vaguely explained variables that you often have no idea ( in game ) why something worked or didn’t work . a bit more information in the ‘reviews’ or from your employees would go a long way .
those of you who expect a simple game simply because monopoly tycoon is mass - markety need to look again . on the higher difficulty levels , the computer is an absolutely ruthless player , and it will grind you into the ground if it deems it necessary . the lower levels are definitely more manageable , and the first few challenges in the game are trivial ( especially if you abuse the fact that the game finishes once you reach the goal ) , but it ' s definitely hard to get all the way through the game on the simplest level , much less the gold difficulty level . multiplayer , of course , depends on your friends ' abilities , although you can use ai if you desire .
as a game , clive’s particularly pleased that it found its audience with just under two - million units sold . however , this wasn’t in one week . “it took years to do the 2 million units , ” clive says , “when you compare that to something like the games that are selling today , the big uber - games that launch , will sell 2 million games in six months… then sink without trace . the thing about monopoly tycoon is that i still receive royalty cheques . it’s still selling . it may be £9 . 99 – maybe even £4 . 99 now – but it’s still selling and people still want to buy it . it’s received that sort of classic status . it’s just brilliant for us”
“i don’t think we got it entirely right either , ” clive says , “we made a game that was far more hardcore than originally planned , and wasn’t the easiest game to play in terms of the learning curve . it’s pretty steep , and have to be a pretty damn good gamer to get anywhere in monopoly , as successful as it was . ” even come release , there were some judgments that they decided they were in error , swiftly deciding to release a patch to cure them . “there were two big issues with the originally shipping game , ” clive says , “the first one was that we insisted the player play through the entire game before gaining access to the sandbox mode , where everything – all the blocks , the development tree and so on – were available . initially we kind of saw that as cheating , so we didn’t include it from the off . also , we’d made a game that was level based… and once you’d completed the level , the scenario ended and moved onto the next one . ” sound sensible enough . thousands disagreed . they didn’t just come to monopoly tycoon to play levels .
monopoly is a 2001 pinball machine released by stern , designed by pat lawlor and his crew at pat lawlor design . based on the classic board game , it contains several elements from its source , altered to fit the new medium . the main goal is to progress around the board by shooting certain shots , stopping to buy property , while ultimately becoming rich enough to own it all .
overall , i think game dev story is probably the better of the two . tycoon looks flashier and has more polished graphics , but story’s graphics are cute and retro , and the ability to actually sensibly level your staff makes things much more interesting . story’s just got more balanced gameplay overall , and it feels like more effort went in to the game mechanics rather than just the presentation .
liberalism promotes the right of the government to exert a monopoly of force , while in the us many right - wingers despise the notion of a powerful government and want to see some level of vigilantism . so the notion that riot police represent only right - wing ideals isn’t necessarily true . after all , the paris police teargassed some homophobic right - wing protesters a month or so ago when they became violent .
ah , the board game monopoly gets a brilliant revamp in this simcity style strategy game . this is the only
city building
game i will play . . . play as one of the characters and try to built your empire ! can you beat the odds . . . and the other players ? good music , easy controls , weird sound effects . . . what more is needed ? maybe a competent player !
also , this is neither here nor there , but i happened to discover a lovely bug whereby tycoon would crash if you hired too many women . ouch . i reported it , and they were pretty apologetic when they fixed that one . ( frankly , i think i have a pretty good idea of why it happened , and it definitely wasn’t malice or sexism on their part — just a really unfortunate bug . )
in november 2001 , stern pinball and pinball sales auctioned off 40
platinum edition
games on ebay for the nonprofit charity boundless playground . these tables had chrome trimmings signed by pat lawlor , john youssi , and gary stern , along with a backbox translite autographed by lawlor , youssi , stern , pinball sales president jack guarnieri , and hasbro ceo alan hassenfeld . the production run of 40 was chosen as one for each space on the monopoly board .
the property - management portion of monopoly tycoon comes into play when you want to lease an entire city block . you compete against up to five other business owners during the game , and at any point , one of you can flag a city block for auction , and all the others then have a chance to bid for that property . once you ' ve leased a block , you become the landlord and collect the rent from the businesses on that block for a period of time . if you lease all of the blocks in a color group ( which represents a district or neighborhood , as in the board game ) , you gain the right to build hotels , along with other advantages such as lower buyout costs . as the years pass in the virtual city , new businesses become available , such as ice cream parlors , bowling alleys , and nightclubs , and eventually supermarkets , video stores , and computer stores .
like in hong kong , the tycoon bosses of taiwan media are increasingly pushing their media companies to flatter beijing because they do business with china ,
said chen hsiao - yi , chairwoman of the association of taiwan journalists and a reporter at the chinese language liberty times for 16 years .
taiwan media are also becoming more and more reliant on chinese advertising . they are self - censoring for mostly financial and not political reasons ,
she told cpj .
“for me , it comes back to something more simplistic , ” clive says , “strategy games and tycoon games just aren’t sexy . shooting games are sexy . every developer wants to work on them , every programmer wants to code for them and every artist wants to be doing huge great orc type characters with armour… while world - building games are based around uncle pennybags and apartment blocks . they just aren’t sexy . they don’t sell magazines and are never going to set the world on fire… but they do chug on forever and ever . which is why publishers love them so much , and why pretty much every publisher has a back - catalogue line up featuring them as they know they have a peak / trough income problem with their high - profile games that will be evened out by the tycoon games chugging along in the background . and if as a developer you’re prepared to be a chugging away in the background type of bloke , then there’s a great life to be had . ”
the core single - player game is a series of scenarios that you complete , one - by - one , to unlock the next scenario . i would have preferred to have an easy / medium / hard ' sandbox ' mode out of the box as well , but that ' s a minor quibble . the game also supports multiplayer with up to six people , and that ' s where it really starts to shine - - humans are much more entertaining to play against than ais , even if the quirky computer characters ( based around the tokens in monopoly ) are quite cool .
“we got huge stick , as people said “i’ve completed the winning criteria… but i want to continue fiddling . i want to play in my little world . i don’t care about any kind of winning condition . ” , ” clive says , “so we issued a patch really quickly as there were a lot of complaints , to allow you to play on and unlocked sandbox mode immediately . ” this is something they’ve learnt from , and now all their games are built with this in mind . for example , while the recent tycoon city : new york unlocks new districts as you play , your previously constructed areas remain in play for you to play with and admire .
this makes management games different from many games in the marketplace . “first - person shooters don’t sell well for years , ” argues clive , “they sell really well for the first couple of months when there’s all the marketing , and disappear without a trace . but world - building , social - sims , god - games , tycoon games… they just sell forever . ” an old observation in games magazine lore is that a first - person shooter will sell more copies of a magazine if you put it on the cover than a strategy game , even if the strategy game ends up selling over twice as many copies . there’s different demographics being reached , who react in different ways .
there are so many videogames ! more than i can count with my entire , exceedingly creepy plaster hand collection . valve tries its darndest to get the best ones on steam , but they just keep coming . perhaps throwing the towering select - o - tron 9000 and 3 / 5 into hyperdrive is the answer ? valve’s having a go at it , at least , and so far the result’s been smaller batches of games at an appreciably speedier clip . last time , that meant three games , but this time it’s six . hooray , progress ! standouts include the piracy plagued game dev tycoon , harvest - moon - meets - minecraft standout stardew valley , and the creatively named riot , which is about riots . details after the break .

monopoly tycoon ist eine wirtschaftssimulation von deep red games , veröffentlicht 2001 von infogrames ( mittlerweile atari ) . [ . . . ] dem spieler steht eine simulierte stadtumgebung zur verfügung , die in mehrere farbig gekennzeichnete blöcke aufgeteilt ist , wobei zu einer farbgruppe entweder zwei , drei oder vier blöcke gehören . die meisten dieser blöcke können mit verschiedenen geschäften und wohngebäuden bebaut werden , wobei der spieler durch umfragen in wohnhäusern herausfinden muss , an welchen geschäften bedarf besteht . die einwohner der stadt sind verschiedenen gruppen zugeordnet , die jeweils unterschiedlich hohen wert auf kurze wege , qualität der geschäfte , prestige der umgebung , preis der waren und warenangebot legen .
really shines if you have the sort of computer that can push the graphics . after jacking the resolution up high , the game looks fantastic , with the real - time panning between the city map and the block view occuring seamlessly . the buildings are relatively simplistic , sure , but when there ' s tons of them on screen , along with lots of little monopoly - citizens running around , you really can ' t knock the game ' s visuals . yes , the little people are pretty poorly animated , gliding more than walking , but there can be many dozens of them on the screen at once , so some graphical simplicity is understandable . of course , on a lower - end system the game will look worse , and as the resolution drops , the amount of screen space used up by the interface will increase .
it’s that advice clive gives to anyone wanting to pursue an entrepreneurial games ? “don’t do it . that’s my bag , ” clive jokes before thinking . “don’t hark back to the old tycoon games , ” he eventually offers , “make it all about the social simulations . these games these days are all about the nurturing and love angle to be built into these games . they aren’t concerned and passionate about a bakery or an apartment block or a café… but they are passionate about whether it’s liked by its inhabitants . they need to be a voyeuristic experience , about doing stuff and then watching what people do and so getting involved . being a voyeur is where it’s at” . what do we learn from this ? player feedback counts . also , anyone who lives near deep red’s hq , be sure to close your window while getting changed .

i was very happy to find this game . i played it when i was younger and was glad to get it to enjoy again .
well , my 15 year old son was the recipient of this item . he played it alot when he first got it , but his interest in it waned in a short time .
this game gets boring after an hour or two . the interface is a bit confusing at the beginning .
wish i had read the reviews before purchasing . game does not work on my pc or laptop .
i could not get it to load up on any computer , it just crashes . i have tried it on windows 8 and on windows vista .
i bought this game because i used to play it when i was young , and i loved it . i was so upset that it did not work when i received it .
this game is not compatible with my operating system . windows 7 ( 64 - bit ) . after receiving this game i could not install it . it simply would not work .
i have such difficulty downloading this dvd game . . it simply will not download well enough for me to use it . .
first , i love this game , from the graphics to the sound to the play .

you begin the game with a set amount of money in 1930 , at which point the game ' s virtual city is only sparsely built . you can proceed to invest in property , utilities , and railroads , as well as build businesses . the game ' s easy - to - use research and analysis functions help you choose where to build different types of structures - - for instance , a poll conducted on a specific city block may reveal that the various inhabitants want more bread and meat , indicating that a butcher shop or bakery would do well at that location . it ' s important to do some research before building , since there are more than 40 types of potential businesses , and some will be more profitable than others . the game also provides statistics on what types of people live in or commute to the city , which helps you figure out what kind of residential structures to build .
regardless of difficulty level , you ' ll have to tackle the single - player scenarios in order - - after completing one successfully , the next scenario in the list is unlocked . the game also supports multiplayer games for up to six players over a lan or internet connection , and you should be readily able to find live online opponents using the provided gamespy arcade software . you can even opt to play multiplayer against only computer - controlled opponents and set up your own scenarios rather than having to unlock them . six different customizable multiplayer modes of play are available , which roughly correspond to the single - player scenarios . in addition , the game has a helpful series of interactive tutorials that introduce new players to most of the game ' s features .
the game ' s music works well with the lighthearted theme of the game . as the game progresses through the decades , the music actually adjusts to different soundtracks appropriate to that period in time , and it ' s amusing to see how the simple instrumentals convey the general sense of that period ' s music . the sound effects used in the game add a little bit of flavor and humor - - the sound of coins lets you know when people make purchases at your businesses , and the ambient sounds of the city , such as cars , wind , and pedestrians , give an aural indication of what time of day it is and how active people are .
no spam , no fuss ; just the latest updates delivered right to you .
something entirely traditional . what resulted wasn’t just a brilliantly conceived reinventation – but also a brilliant game of financial warfare from deep red , who’ve gone on to explore similar entrepreneurial terrain ever since . looking back five years , we chat to managing director and deep red founder clive robert about how the game came together .

gillen’s right about this one , y’know . splendid , tragically overlooked wee thing .
ooh , memories . i remember loving this game , also because it ran and looked beautiful on my old 700mhz computer , i however have no clue anymore how it actually played .
i would play this over my homes lan with my family , incredibly fun game .
i remember playing this with my brother , dont know how the game went or why i liked it , but i know i liked it back then… fascinating to see its still selling .
i don’t know if it’s “the world first competitive sim” as the advertising claimed , but it was certainly a hootenanny of one .
ah , memories . i enjoyed the demo but never picked it up . then i finally got a copy from a promotion where they were giving away games like who wants to be a millionare and such inside cheerios boxes ( the proper north american cheerios , not like those weird multi - grain , frosted things you brits call cheerios ) .
hydra9 : the way i considered it , it was an economic wargame . it was based around trying to outprice and out - position the opponents . so on one hand , it was a total standard city - sim… but it was in a city where you could see everything on the map . so you could see that your opponent – say – had a clothes shop which was selling clothes for x price here . you could set one up down the block – nearer the public transport – which undercut him , and fuck up his bottom line .
i bought it and liked it a lot . personally i preferred vegas : make it big , but both are great games .
alec : not that overlooked , according to the sales figures , at least in the long term . critically overlooked for sure .
i still pull this one out every once in a while . it gets a whole bunch of things right . i was only ever good at making money out of the low rent districts - high volume , low margin stuff , like foods . did anyone do better selling to the middle - classes ? my bookstores or clothes stores just bled money .
@ keiron : thanks . i like the idea of fucking up someone’s bottom line . ah…
another game of economic warfare is sm’s trains ! whoops look like my wood plant closed down . looks like all your news papers are screwed .
i remember buying this directly off the original pc gamer review , one at least that didn’t undersell it .
i definitely got it . i ploughed many , many hours into this game . i should really dig it out again . i tried the mobile version in an attempt to relive the glory days , but they simplified it far too much .
my main complaint about the original game was that the motivations behind the ebbs and flows of the economy weren’t always obvious enough , so you’d be wondering why your cinema’s revenue had plummeted and couldn’t find out why . other than that , though , it was pretty damn cool . very reminiscent of capitalism plus in its way , but without the supply chain logistics .
if anyone gets the urge to start playing this now and you’re running vista , make sure to turn off the music . leaving it on will make the game crash at the menu . other than that it should run perfectly fine , i’ve been playing it constantly for about 3 months with no other issues .
i remember this . i played hours and hours of it ! timesinkage at its best .
rob : yeah , that was one of mine . glad it worked for someone .
i bought this on release but gave it away to an old work mate ( along with a load of other old games ) years ago . i’d probably be tempted to pick it up on budget again if i saw it at the right price .
i remember getting this for free in a box of cereal . i was pleasantly surprised how good it was , given it’s source .
there’s something special about economic strategy games symmetrically designed such that the single player is just like the multiplayer . startopia and 1701 ad also both spring to mind ( freeplay wise ) .
i too bought this from the pc gamer review . i was working at an eb then , and after playing it like crazy sold the hell out of it – likewise crazy - like . everybody loved it .
i personally was really impressed with the way that it managed to incorporate the multiplayer in a way that seemed fluid and interesting .
i’ve got a copy of this stashed away somewhere . jolly good fun . i played through it and then my dad did the same . this comment rings very true :
my main complaint about the original game was that the motivations behind the ebbs and flows of the economy weren’t always obvious enough , so you’d be wondering why your cinema’s revenue had plummeted and couldn’t find out why .
this was what eventually killed it for me i think , but i’m actually quite tempted to dig it up and start playing again as i’ve fond memories of it . nice interview as well .
i got this for a birthday a while back . i thought it sucked ( opinion ! opinion ! not a troll ! ) . i guess economic games have never really been my strength . see also : capitalism series ( which i personally hate ) .
game isn’t working for me anymore . : ( it just crashes on the deep red splash screen .

i loved this game when i bought it and it didn ' t take long to complete it . it was very entertaining , my only criticizm was that it was far too easy . this is worth a play though so i would recommend it .
this is not a game i am likely to play again after completing all the levels , but it provided several challenging hours of play and a very functional interface . if only there was a free play or random game facility , such as in
captalism
then this game would be a regular when looking for a couple of hours diversion . unfortunately , the game has only a pointless sandbox , or the senarios only one of which
first to 40k
provides a real challenge on replay but you get exactly the same oponants and game board each time so it does not provide a real replay option . i have not looked for a game online but perhaps this would extend the game ' s life .

chinese journalists have made many accusations . wang wenzhi of economic information daily published a long report in mid - july on his blog stating that china resources had paid almost twice what the mines were appraised for just three months earlier by another state - owned coal company , datong coal mine group , that had sought to buy them .
the company has not publicly responded in detail to the claims . in a statement on july 18 , china resources power said that the transaction was aboveboard and that it was in the process of obtaining mining rights for two of the three mines ; it obtained mining rights for the third this spring and is now starting mining there .

china has long said that over time it plans to shift from an export - driven economy to one that relies more heavily on internal consumption . now , with the global economy slowing , china really has no choice . there simply is not enough external demand elsewhere around the globe for china to export its way back to the high levels of growth it achieved over the last few decades .

china resources “is a major global player , ” said david zweig , a specialist in chinese natural resource companies at the hong kong university of science and technology . if the claims about the coal mines are proved true , he added , “it would show that these companies can be ripped off or tricked . it doesn’t bode well for the globalization or professionalization of these companies . ”
the economics of the deal have not been helped by a steep decline in coal prices since china resources bought the mines three years ago . the output of strip mines in inner mongolia now exceeds shanxi’s mine , while demand has grown more slowly than expected . as a result , coal prices have tumbled to 400 renminbi a ton ( about $ 68 ) from 750 renminbi in 2010 .

leaked documents about the deal , and a court case in hong kong , have shed an unusually harsh light on the usually secretive workings of a major state - owned company . the disputed deal raises a stark question : are china’s economy and resources held hostage by privileged state corporations and their executives , who can use influence and gain access to easy credit in ways that undermine long - term growth ?
the dispute has become a chief exhibit in a debate in china about the wisdom of investing so much of the nation’s money in state - owned companies , especially when china’s economy has slowed . for the communist party leadership , the case distills concerns about the grip that state - owned conglomerates exert .

when many historians of medicine think of china , the first thing that comes to mind is traditional chinese medicine ( tcm ) . yet the dominant form of medicine in china today is western medicine ( xiyi ) , and tcm as practiced in china has adopted many concepts and therapies from biomedicine . in other words , biomedicine is by far the most important form of medicine in china , as can be seen in the decline of interest in tcm medical schools , or in the biomedical analysis of an ancient chinese drug that resulted recently in a nobel prize for tu youyou . yet although digital sources for scholars and students of the history of medicine in the us and western europe are widely available in most research libraries , sources for the history of medicine in china have lagged behind .

the biggest state - owned enterprises possess enormous political sway , employ hundreds of thousands of people and extend a global reach . many , like the state grid , the monopoly electricity transmission company in most of china , or china telecom , the giant mobile phone carrier , are widely criticized within china both for their inefficiency and for the fat profits they earn from charging high prices . those profits allow them to hire and promote the offspring of senior government officials , who in turn ensure their longevity .

the problems for china resources began in 2010 , when its affiliates as well as a partner state company agreed to pay 9 . 9 billion renminbi ( $ 1 . 6 billion ) for the three coal mines and related assets , according to documents submitted to a hong kong court . the seller was a businessman , zhang xinming , a man with a reputation as a swashbuckling gambler , who also gained a 20 percent stake in the new joint venture .
from the early dispensaries founded by missionaries to the substantial medical infrastructure incorporated into the people ' s republic of china in 1949 , hundreds of institutions have left records of their work in china . many institutions had multiple names in english and chinese , while other small hospitals or medical schools were shuttered or formed larger and more efficient institutions .

the c . i . a . has tried to rebuild its network of spies in china , officials said , an expensive and time - consuming effort led at one time by the former chief of the east asia division . a former intelligence official said the former chief was particularly bitter because he had worked with the suspected mole and recruited some of the spies in china who were ultimately executed .
medical periodicals offer one of the best
archives
of the history of medicine in china . two of the most important are the china medical missionary journal and its successor which ran from 1887 - 1931 ( english only ) , and the national medical journal ( 1915 - 1931 ) . these two merged in 1932 to become the chinese medical journal ( in chinese 中華醫學會 , 1916 - present ) .
at a time when the c . i . a . is trying to figure out how some of its most sensitive documents were leaked onto the internet two months ago by wikileaks , and the f . b . i . investigates possible ties between president trump’s campaign and russia , the unsettled nature of the china investigation demonstrates the difficulty of conducting counterespionage investigations into sophisticated spy services like those in russia and china .

while they will probably not face the extreme water stress blanketing the middle east in 2040 , global superpowers such as the united states , china and india face water risks of their own . high water stress in all three countries are projected to remain roughly constant through 2040 . however , specific areas of each , such as the southwestern u . s . and china’s ningxia province , could see water stress increase by up to 40 to 70 percent .
with regional violence and political turmoil commanding global attention , water may seem tangential . however , drought and water shortages in syria likely contributed to the unrest that stoked the country’s 2011 civil war . dwindling water resources and chronic mismanagement forced 1 . 5 million people , primarily farmers and herders , to lose their livelihoods and leave their land , move to urban areas , and magnify syria’s general destabilization .
but china seems to have over - invested , leaving a glut of capacity in the heavy industrial sector that has forced plants to cut prices deeply . the low prices mean those factories are effectively operating at a loss subsidized by the state .

by 2013 , the f . b . i . and the c . i . a . concluded that china’s success in identifying c . i . a . agents had been blunted — it is not clear how — but the damage had been done .
still others were put in jail . all told , the chinese killed or imprisoned 18 to 20 of the c . i . a . ’s sources in china , according to two former senior american officials , effectively unraveling a network that had taken years to build .

whatever the drivers , extremely high water stress creates an environment in which companies , farms and residents are highly dependent on limited amounts of water and vulnerable to the slightest change in supply . such situations severely threaten national water security and economic growth . national and local governments must bring forward strong national climate action plans and support a strong international climate agreement in paris this november . governments must also respond with management and conservation practices that will help protect essential sustainable water resources for years to come .
by 2012 it was china’s 18th - largest state - owned industrial company by sales , with revenue of $ 52 billion . its wide - ranging products include medicine and beer , coal and real estate . its chairman , mr . song , holds the same government rank as a vice minister .
the graph below shows cumulative emissions including land - use change and forestry ( lucf ) for the top 10 emitters during the period 1990 to 2011 , when complete data are available . almost half of emissions come from just four countries : the united states , china , european union and russian federation .
research on the rockefeller foundation’s oversized investment in health care in china should begin with the digitised report of the rockefeller medical commission of 1914 that included members william welch , simon flexner and peabody , president of harvard ; then consult the archive guide for the rockefeller archive center ( rac ) , updated specifically for this project , to get a sense of the massive scope of medical projects undertaken by the foundation , its china medical board and its international health board . this would then lead to the rac website , which has digitised sources such as the annual reports , with full text search capacity , and has set up an online exhibition for its centennial .
the mole hunt eventually zeroed in on a former agency operative who had worked in the c . i . a . ’s division overseeing china , believing he was most likely responsible for the crippling disclosures . but efforts to gather enough evidence to arrest him failed , and he is now living in another asian country , current and former officials said .
the graph below expands the time period from 1850 to 2011 , during which data only on co2 emissions are continuously available . in this case , the five major emitters—the united states , european union , china , russian federation , and japan— together contributed two - thirds of the world’s historic co2 emissions - using up around 37 percent of our global carbon budget .
china has been particularly aggressive in its espionage in recent years , beyond the breach of the office of personnel management records in 2015 , american officials said . last year , an f . b . i . employee pleaded guilty to acting as a chinese agent for years , passing sensitive technology information to beijing in exchange for cash , lavish hotel rooms during foreign travel and prostitutes .
full access to the national medical journal ( and many other chinese language medical journals ) is available through the digital database 大成老旧刊全文数据库 at major research institutions in the u . s . and china ( one month trial access may be available through your library ) . that database is missing the volumes scanned and available below for the years 1919 to 1923 . see oclc worldcat for paper holdings .
the previously unreported episode shows how successful the chinese were in disrupting american spying efforts and stealing secrets years before a well - publicized breach in 2015 gave beijing access to thousands of government personnel records , including intelligence contractors . the c . i . a . considers spying in china one of its top priorities , but the country’s extensive security apparatus makes it exceptionally hard for western spy services to develop sources there .
there was good reason to suspect an insider , some former officials say . around that time , chinese spies compromised national security agency surveillance in taiwan — an island beijing claims is part of china — by infiltrating taiwanese intelligence , an american partner , according to two former officials . and the c . i . a . had discovered chinese operatives in the agency’s hiring pipeline , according to officials and court documents .
those who rejected the mole theory attributed the losses to sloppy american tradecraft at a time when the chinese were becoming better at monitoring american espionage activities in the country . some f . b . i . agents became convinced that c . i . a . handlers in beijing too often traveled the same routes to the same meeting points , which would have helped china’s vast surveillance network identify the spies in its midst .
in the meantime , the resource portal has seen significant use since its launch in 2013 , with an average of over seven hundred page views per month in 2014 and 2015 – about half from the us and one - third from china and hong kong . as a general rule , most digitised sources available here are in english , as are physical sources described in north american and british archives , while those in china are in chinese . the website layout was designed for simplicity of appearance and use on computers , tablets or mobile phones , by aaron ganci of the herron school of art and design at iupui . given the predominance of english language sources , it will be also be a useful tool for historians of medicine in other parts of the world seeking to write more balanced accounts of the history of disease and human responses to it .
on the other hand , any indication that china will be idling steel capacity should be a welcome sign of the us steel sector . publicly traded us steel companies notched a $ 1 . 4 billion loss during the fourth quarter of 2015 , according to the us department of commerce . and outside the us , the world’s largest steel company , arcelormittal , also blamed cheap chinese steel exports for its fourth - quarter loss .
assessing the fallout from an exposed spy operation can be difficult , but the episode was considered particularly damaging . the number of american assets lost in china , officials said , rivaled those lost in the soviet union and russia during the betrayals of both aldrich ames and robert hanssen , formerly of the c . i . a . and the f . b . i . , who divulged intelligence operations to moscow for years .
the beer segment sells beer under the snow brand . the food segment operated via its arm , cr ng fung , which is a food conglomerate engaging in food research and development , production , processing , wholesaling , retailing , logistics and international trading . the beverage segment operates beverage plants in china . it markets purified water under the c ' estbon brand . the company also invests in properties . the company was founded in 1992 and is headquartered in hong kong .
officials said the f . b . i . and the c . i . a . lured the man back to the united states around 2012 with a ruse about a possible contract with the agency , an arrangement common among former officers . agents questioned the man , asking why he had decided to stay in asia , concerned that he possessed a number of secrets that would be valuable to the chinese . it’s not clear whether agents confronted the man about whether he had spied for china .
still , the chinese picked off more and more of the agency’s spies , continuing through 2011 and into 2012 . as investigators narrowed the list of suspects with access to the information , they started focusing on a chinese - american who had left the c . i . a . shortly before the intelligence losses began . some investigators believed he had become disgruntled and had begun spying for china . one official said the man had access to the identities of c . i . a . informants and fit all the indicators on a matrix used to identify espionage threats .
the graph above shows emissions intensity for the top 10 emitters’ whole economies and energy sectors . for the energy sector , the world average is 372 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions ( co2e ) per million $ gdp , but intensities vary across countries . seven of the top 10 emitters actually have a below average emissions intensity ; russia , china and canada are above the world average . these differences result from varying emissions levels and size of economy , but are also dependent on factors such as a country’s energy mix the carbon intensity of sectors like electricity and heat generation , manufacturing , and transportation .
for example , scholars interested in the history of cholera in chinese ports would do well to begin by clicking on the general reports and guides section and scrolling down to the medical reports of the imperial maritimes customs . many of these reports were written by medical missionaries , and a second step for a researcher might be to determine which physicians wrote about outbreaks of cholera in china , then to follow the mission agency and look for digitised books by that missionary available through the selected electronic texts section , photographs and archive guides to enable onsite or ( in the case of generous archivists ) remote research .
but the c . i . a . ’s top spy hunter , mark kelton , resisted the mole theory , at least initially , former officials say . mr . kelton had been close friends with brian j . kelley , a c . i . a . officer who in the 1990s was wrongly suspected by the f . b . i . of being a russian spy . the real traitor , it turned out , was mr . hanssen . mr . kelton often mentioned mr . kelley’s mistreatment in meetings during the china episode , former colleagues say , and said he would not accuse someone without ironclad evidence .
the ministry of lands and natural resources has temporarily suspended the operations of shaanxi mining ghana limited at gbane in the talensi district in the upper east region . this followed reports received by the ministry to the effect that the operations of the company had allegedly caused the death of some residents in the area . consequently , the company has asked its 500 workers to go home . . . meanwhile , workers of the company are not happy with the ministry’s decision , describing it as
unfair and giving undue advantage to illegal miners to continue their illegal mining activities .
… the aggrieved workers alleged that it was rather those engaged in galamsey who had been straying onto the concessions of shaanxi and had been blasting unprofessionally , thereby causing their own deaths…the underground mine manager , mr thomas yenzanya , said the company had successfully carried out its blasting without any problems only to learn that seven people had died elsewhere .
we have 18 professional and experienced blastmen who know the blasting procedures . these blastmen had worked in places like anglogold ghana before they joined the shaanxi mining company ,
he said .
in 2009 , daqing zhang of peking university and william h . schneider of indiana university–purdue university , indianapolis ( iupui ) conceived a plan to help make the plentiful sources in the us and europe more available to scholars of modest means in china and to make digital sources available to students and scholars around the world . this resulted in a major grant from the luce foundation ( 2011–14 ) , which , in addition to two international conferences plus one volume of selected papers in english and one in chinese , produced a research portal that combines library and archive guides with a wide array of digital sources that were digitised by the project or were already available ( urltoken ) .

“marx forgot the problem that whoever manages a company tries to become its owner , ” he added .
“state - owned enterprises try to spend as much as they can , so they have an excuse to demand more support and take more kickbacks . ”
in the late 1990s , zhu rongji , then the prime minister , pushed hundreds of thousands of state - owned enterprises into the private sector , but the 120 or so largest of these businesses had the political muscle to resist privatization .
instead they won official backing as pillars supporting the state’s role in the economy . they gained wealth and influence over the last decade , partly from their almost unlimited access to low - interest loans from state - owned banks .
but since taking office in march , prime minister li keqiang has dropped hints that he wants to rein in the privileges of state - owned enterprises , so that private companies win a bigger share of bank loans , investment projects and market opportunities .

“state - owned enterprises and private business should be regarded equally , ” mr . li said at a meeting with economists and executives in april .
party insiders and economists have said , however , that the issue of state - owned enterprises is so contentious that a party leadership meeting in the fall is likely to put off any big decisions .
locals like mr . kang are frustrated by the mine ' s continued closure .
mr . wang had few specifics regarding mr . song , but the chinese media and internet discussion groups have been full of speculation over where the sums paid for the mines ended up .
