Description
Airline Tycoon Deluxe is a funny economy simulation proceeding in real-time and assigning you the complete responsibility for an airline.

Your abilities are put to the test continuously playing Airline Tycoon Deluxe: Will you be able to use your airplanes to capacity and land some profitable charter flights?

Old But Gold

Still remember watching my older brother playing Airline Tycoon when I was little, After years I finally get the latest version on GOG, and I immediately get addictive to it. There are some minor issues like the frame rate is capped at 20 FPS, and some small bugs may annoy you from time to time (For example, sometimes the notebook would stuck, and you have to save & load to fix it. Another more annoying one is when you load your saved game, occasionally your character would stuck at the escalator in the main hall, and the only solution I've known is to call it a day). But overall it is a fantastic game. By the way, if you have a lagging issue, you can search for the file to fix it.

Oddly fun

Now I should clarify that I have no association with this game nostaligiclly, I did not grow up with it. That said, I had a really fun time. I suppose me working at the airport gave me a rough idea of what to do (and the tutorial helped), but for the most part I knew what I needed to do. And I can go back to this game at any time and know exactly what I need to do; I've spent more hours on this game than I thought I would, I suppose that's what makes it a classic. If you like old games, or sim games, give this game a shot.
