Some of the most popular games franchises of all time have been business strategy simulations like Sim City, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Tropico, and Zoo Tycoon.
While the established developers have yet to turn their attention to Amazon Alexa, there are plenty of voice specialists creating new variants of the popular business simulation mechanic. Here you can check out some of our favourites.
Popcorn Tycoon
This is your chance to build a popcorn making empire.
Meet odd and fascinating characters, purchase cutting edge equipment, corner the entire market, and explore the mysteries of the Popcorn Tycoon universe to boost your popcorn production at any cost!
Beach Tycoon
Do you have what it takes to turn a small beach into a lucrative tourist magnet?
Beach Tycoon is a real-time construction game. Your job is to turn a small beach into a hip beach oasis. Invest in beach chairs, construct buildings, and keep your beach clean and tidy for the visitors.
Visitors pay an entrance fee for accessing your beach, and you can earn extra money by selling ice cream and organising events. Make the right investments to push your beach to the top of the rankings.
It would be too much work on your own, so you will have three employees to support you on your way to becoming a top manager.
Yes Sire
Needy peasants. A backstabbing nobility. A king who is never satisfied. Nobody said that running a feudal fiefdom would be easy. But with this Alexa game, it is bound to be entertaining.
Are you prepared to make some of the hardest decisions of your (soon to be short) life?
You sit as a medieval lord of the realm, presented with an ever-expanding array of difficulty choices. Make good choices and stay in power as long as you can!
Mars Tycoon
It is 2049 and you won a spaceflight to Mars in a lottery. Mars Colony is thriving and there is huge demand for goods and products by the growing population. You have a once in a lifetime opportunity to start a company and become the first martian Tycoon.
You arrive in Oasis City with $1000 in your bank account, and need to make fast decisions to keep your business running by manufacturing and selling new products.
Your Artificial Intelligence companion will handle most of the routine work and book keeping, leaving you to focus on business strategy.
The Zoo Game
You are the boss of Zoo Land. Your workers will come to you with 5 questions, and it’s up to you to tell them what to do next.
Make the right decisions and the zoo will keep running smoothly. But make a few wrong moves and who knows what those cheeky animals will be getting up to…
You will score points based on your decisions, and compete against other players on the global leaderboard.
