Ah cool this brings me back! I don’t have any new suggestions for you but I remember the tycoon games - did you ever play rollercoaster tycoon? I did!
This one sounds fun :)
I’m currently in China lecturing at a uni here and I tell you what... I feel like I’m in a sim game! It’s all just popped up outta nowhere and it’s all pristine with the big roads and large blocky buildings, I have been thinking about these games the past week!
I loved rollercoaster tycoon! I remember you could alter the food and drinks, and then make the rides go too fast and make your guest throw up everywhere. haha Too Evil. Thats awesome man, sounds like their city planners are perfectionist. :)
