It’s interesting to look at some older games. Just take a look at the store page. The character design is unique, definitely not generic 3D trash. There’s that bald guy with the hair on the sides combed toward the middle, and the bearded man with the funny hair at his temples. The store page says the game was released in 1998, but visually it looks better so I think it might be a remake from the 2000s. It's an airline monopoly game. You walk around an airport, entering different rooms to purchase a new flight or create one yourself. You can also buy and sell stocks, the system goes into more detail you can issue new stocks, and there are mechanics involving stock prices, I also saw a buyback option. You can take loans, upgrade flight facilities, hire engineers, and if you buy a phone, you no longer need to walk everywhere, you can just sit in your office and let your legs rest. By today’s standards, the game is not fun to play anymore, but it’s enjoyable even just to watch the NPCs walk around and to explore the interesting layouts. I spent half an hour simply clicking on everything I could interact with, talking to NPCs, seeing what the game had to offer, those alone were fun. I can easily imagine if I owned this game back in the day I'd liked it. I bought this game at 90% off during Steam’s 2025 Winter Sale. I recommend picking it up on discount if you’re nostalgic or interested in older games. [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43342176-Why-Not-Games/#browse] My curator page

This was a favoritt of mine when it came out. Still love it today. Sadly Airline Tycoon 2 did not live up to this gem. Hopefully we will see a new modern version in the future that still keeps the cartoonish and fun style. But untill then, this still is a great and fun game, that holds it age well. Strongly recommend, if you love the old classic way of gaming.

Game's great. Works like a charm (albeit in 20 FPS, though that's the game's dedicated limit), and controls are very comfortable on the Steam Deck. Brings back heaps of nostalgia. Must-buy if you like 90s Tycoon games.

Silly, funny, easy to learn. As tycoon games go, this isn't exactly a major challenge. But it's fun.

the multiplayer needs more than 4 players if more people want to play with friends. the only thing that I will say is this game is fun just because it is something different and something new to learn new things.
