Embark on an entreprenurial journey from rags to riches in the greatest city of them all, New York, New York. It's a hell of a town.
Reminiscent of scenes from the Grand Theft Auto series but so much more detailed and far less voilent, these screenshots from Tycoon City: New York reveal some of the facets of New York faily life you will be able to exploit and enhance in your ultimate quest for a seven figure value.
When Deep Red say they want “To become one of the world’s most sought after developers of strategy and simulation software”, they're certainly not kidding. Tycoon City looks simply amazing, boasting a level of detail that reminds me of Shenmue crossed with Crazy Taxi, GTA and The Sims.

With New York renowned for its reputation as the city that never sleeps, these new screenshots reveals the other side of New York as its inhabitants go about their daily lives in the upcoming PC game Tycoon City: New York, published by Atari this November.
With its iconic Brownstone terraced houses from the Upper West Side of Manhattan, instantly recognisable from such television shows as Sex & The City and The Cosby Show, this could only be New York. Bustling streets of New Yorkers stopping to meet friends at their favourite café or deli, neighbourhood basketball courts in a state of readiness for the next one-on-one contest to see ‘who’s got game’, local shops trading late in to the evening, up-and-coming bands playing outdoor gigs in local parks in front of enthusiastic audiences, this is the living, breathing, day-to-day side of neighbourhood New York as seen through the eyes of its inhabitants in Tycoon City: New York.
Tycoon City: New York gives you the chance to play out a rags-to-riches story in the greatest city in the world – New York. Starting from humble beginnings in the district of Greenwich Village, you build up your empire until you are the most powerful and respected entrepreneur in all of New York City.
Featuring stunning 3D graphics, Tycoon City: New York is the ultimate Tycoon game. The player strives to reach Tycoon status by building and running a variety of exciting and aspirational businesses and events; from restaurants and fashion stores through to record labels and night clubs, eventually laying on spectacular events such as huge rock concerts in Central Park and New Year’s Eve Celebrations in Times Square. And as the player progresses they are rewarded with the iconic monuments of New York City – from the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building all the way up in to being able to build Freedom Tower on the site of the twin towers of The World Trade Centre! Tycoon City: New York will be released on PC and will be published by Atari in November 2005.
Expect Tycoon City to hit a games store near you soon, but before then we hope to bring you a more in-depth preview, more screens, and an interview with Deep Red.
