''Airport Tycoon is not Airline Tycoon .''

''Airport Tycoon'' is a '' and '' Airport Tycoon 3 ''.


GAMEPLAY

The player begins with an empty plot of land, ready for airport development. In the early stages of the game, the player will build his airport, adding terminals, arranging for parking, building runways, and such. This is the most important stage, as the structure of the airport is crucial to its survival. Eventually, as the airport develops, more options become availiable. For example, the player must then negotiate contracts with various companies, such as airlines and taxi companies. The object of this game is to build a grand airport, which takes in as much money as possible.


HISTORY

''Airline Tycoon'' was originally called ''Airport Inc.'' and ''Airport Mogul''. A week before publishing, Krisalis Software changed the name to ''Airport Tycoon'', a more catchy title. However, the game software calls itself ''Airport Mogul'' because of inadequate time to change the software. Unfortunately, Krisalis became defunct shortly after publishing ''Airport Tycoon''. The two sequels, ''Airport Tycoon 2'' and ''Airport Tycoon 3'' were published by other companies which also went out of business shortly after release.
