They are basically simulation games, like Roller coaster Tycoon, Mall Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon... etc.
There are many similar "Tycoon" games in the world today, what ones have you played, or which one is the best one in your opinion? Mine is, and I've probably said this loads of times, is Roller coaster Tycoon 2.

I've only played the first Rollercoaster Tycoon. It's an amazingly fun game, but I can't bring myself to try its sequels. It looks like 2 and 3 put too much emphasis on graphics and not enough on the gameplay that made the original so much fun.
I don't have a favorite; I love them all. They are so fun, and awesome and fun. Yea. They're cool.

Actually, Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 looks like the first one, just designed for XP systems.
Now Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, that puts too much emphasis on graphics.
I played RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 a lot, but it got kinda annoying when you have to complete all the shitty parks to unlock more.
3 used too much graphics and got realy annoying with all the stuff you had to take care of.
Like looking in a sexy mirror.

I have to be honest, RCT2 was everything like RCT1, but with a scenario editor, new rides, and better designed coasters. Not to mention the Six Flags parks that were added along with it. But as it goes for gameplay, RCT2 has the upper hand again; you can actually BUILD structures (I mean put one object on top of the other), or raise an item while holding the SHIFT button. There's a whole lot more stuff I'd like to say, but I've probably made my point.
RCT3 though, was not what I really expected. I never really liked it; I haven't adapted from the 2D goodness that was once RCT, and the loading time is GODDAMN long, even for a basic computer of this time period. Though you can "ride the rides", it's just not the same as watching your own miniature park, in 2D....

The Movies is pretty good, especially if you get the expansion pack that lets you put the camera anywhere on the set...
Zoo Tycoon 1 + 2 are the best Tycoon's to own. Own them now!
Plus in 2 the animals look so cute =3

[I've been wandering round but I still come back to you]
i thought RCT3 was the best
i remember some cool new features to mess about with when you're bored like that coaster-cam and the graphics were pretty good.
i don't usually judge a game from its graphics but on some games you just need something worth looking at :P
they did make the bloom effect too strong though :P
(continued)
About RCT3 that makes it hesitant to some is that it may need a really good accelerator and graphics card. If not, you're going to be wishing you didn't spend $50.00 on it. Me? I spent $10.00 to buy this game; I found it in a value bin. And that's one of the reasons why. Now, what I said about it "not being the same as watching it in 2D", well... RCT3 does have newer rides, better coasters, and enhanced game play, it might get a bit boring at some times. The reason? I can't really explain because there's many different answers from different people like all games. And I wouldn't want to offend anybody why this game is so "boring" to me. *sigh*

Back in the day i used to play rail tycoon or whatever it was..
it was a lot of fun..
not the type of game id play these days though, bit boring in comparison.
The only true Tycoon game in my eyes is the Roller Coaster Tycoon. Most other Tycoon games are crap, much like the Prision Tyoon series. What an awful game.
I have lost all faith in the other Tycoon games until Internet Tycoon comes out. And it's actually good.

RCT3 didn't have premade parks, it sucked

The only Tycoon games that I've played were the original Roller Coaster Tycoon and Zoo Tycoon.

Why is prison tycoon so bad. It doesnt allow other prisoners to shiv each other. Thats the only other tycoon game Ive ever wanted to play, now Im not sure.

i played rct3 on a crap pc with an ancient nvidia graphics card and 256mb ram
unless you really want to play it on full graphics then your pc doesn't need to be that good
What I thought was the first game to ever master simulation was "Transport Tycoon". It was flawless in so many ways. since being released in 1996 or so, our technology has enabled us to make OpenTTD, an online version of Transport Tycoon Deluxe. But, in order to play that, you need the original folders from the game. Luckily they have a download for that :)
The best game that was supposedly a sequel of TTD was Chris Sawyer's Locomotion. This game... is one of my favorite games of any genre so far (besides RCT said earlier)....

Well, I could tell you why I didn't like it, but it will be illegible, do to how much I suck at explaining crap. Luckily for you, there is an alternative method.
the only good tycoon games are roller coaster tycoon 1-3 and zoo tycoon 1-2 including the expansions.
all the others seem like they were rushed. ones such as fairy god mother tycoon, mall tycoon, school tycoon, cruse ship tycoon they are all pretty bad but i love playing zoo tycoon 1 and 2 and i still play the original roller coaster tycoon
