What is your favorite Tycoon game?

You're a bit late with that recommendation as I've been playing it for weeks now :) I've reached the stage before last too :) Thanks anyway for your suggestion :)

LOL i guess you didnt see the discussion i posted about 2 weeks ago, i am stuck on the pirate island and cant get past it. LOL of course now i am waiting for my game Pogo Island to come for my DS, so that way i can play some pogo games away from the computer and still get tokens. so how do you get past the pirate level

I don't have a strategy :( My profits just started to increase one day and kept increasing. But here's what I think you should try: at the beginning of the game invest a lot in marketing and research (that way you'll have all the new potions before your competitors) and keep all the money you begin with, don't spend them on anything until you start making profits. This has really worked for me so far. :)

So there is also a Prison Tycoon? That must be interesting :P I played and liked both rollercoaster tycoon and the mall one :) (I wonder where my RollerCoaster Tycoon CD is, I suddenly feel like playing :) )
