There are little nuggets that charm for various reasons. And lastly, it's the same reason you might watch an outdated or poorly done movie to be entertained at how dissonant some parts are. Reminds me how pointless such a pursuit can be in real life! Another reason is the cultural experience to get a sense for Manhattan, at least in the mid-2000s. One is that it is soothing to build up your meaningless and impractical business empire with ease and watch it climb the rankings. It can also become somewhat repetitive at points, but as long as you focus on the opportunities and just building out each district more than 50-60% then it keeps moving along.ĭespite the abundance of problems and shortcomings with this game, it deserves an endearingly positive rating for 3 reasons. I read that there are cheat codes but you don't really need them, it's a Tycoon game that is built for your success. Furthermore, you really don't have any liabilities and will just continue to gain money and credits over time. For example, if you use your upgrade points only on potted conifers then you'll pretty much always have highly rated businesses. There is impressive breadth to it but certain aspects are pretty shallow. The other caveat is that you can't expect this game to be very realistic or complete, and just have to take it for the silly shout out to NYC that it is. So each time a new district opens up I will save that as a snapshot point.



I haven't had that at all, it just randomly crashes every one in a while. It's probably also a good idea to fork off multiple save files over time, since I saw one person said that they got into a situation where the game crashed every time right when they start. The first is the most important: IT WILL CRASH ON YOU! So save often, like every 10 minutes or so (it's a good practice anyway). This is a relaxing, fun game with 2 big caveats.
