Talk:List of Tycoon games

I've got to question the relevance and purpose of this article. It seems to just be a list of strategy games with "Tycoon" in the title. The only reason they were all given this word is due to the success of previous games under the name as a weak marketing plea. So I wondered what purpose this article serves to readers of Wikipedia.

Transport Tycoon?
[edit]I'm pretty sure that Roller Coaster Tycoon wasn't the first Tycoon game made by Chris Sawyer, Transport Tycoon was his first iirc. Also, I sort of agree with Greg (above). This page should at the very least be renamed to List of Tycoon Games or something similar. 62.251.65.250 (talk) 09:40, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
First tycoon game
[edit]A glance at the Railroad Tycoon page reveals it was released in 1990. I don't think Transport Tycoon was the first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.207.126.247 (talk) 04:35, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
- True, but Transport Tycoon was released in 1994. Greggers (t • c) 08:22, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
- Oh wow, I never knew about Railroad Tycoon. Looks like it's a free download too! And Greg, 1990 came before 1994 last time I checked. ;x --62.251.65.250 (talk) 07:49, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

In search of a purpose or wiki-bullying justification?
[edit]The list serves the same purpose as any other article, to deliver relevant information to those in search of it. Say someone out there really liked a particular "Tycoon" game and wanted to see what other ones are out there, I'd say a list of "Tycoon" games would surely offer at the very least a starting point in their search for further entertainment. Gregger's post really comes off as another staging ground for a wiki-bully. He can not 100% say for sure that the games in the list had the word "Tycoon" added solely to bank off of previous games successes. He wasn't at any stage of development for any ofthose games, it's nothing more than his guess. What does it really hurt to have a list of similarly named games? Stop the bullying. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.115.205.64 (talk) 02:08, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
