''Mall Tycoon'' is a Simulation Tycoon Computer Game , released in 2002 for Windows 95/98/ME. It is known in Europe as Shopping Centre Tycoon due to the fact that "mall" is a word not widely used in Europe or British English . It was designed by Holistic Designs, Inc. and developed by Take Two Interactive . It has three sequels, Mall Tycoon 2 , Mall Tycoon 2 Deluxe and Mall Tycoon 3 .


GAMEPLAY

The game begins as an empty plot of land upon which the player develops their mall. Players can build shops, customise decorations, organise special events such as fashion shows and manage mall employees. It is important for the player to work out what is profitable and what isn't to ensure the survival of the fledgling mall.


BUGS


Other than cheats, there is another way to get "free money" in the game due to a programming glitch. On the Mall Information screen, one can take out as many loans as one likes and, if the player does not click the "check mark" or "OK" button but instead hits the "X" or "Cancel" button, the money is credited to the users account without the interest or repayments that a loan usually entails. The malls rating also increases.
