Its a classic, got that childhood memories attached to it. Little out dated to modern times but still very playable. You'll sink plenty of time into it, I can assure you that. it might say 0.4 hours here when i write this but I've the original copy and logged way to much time on it lol.

I still play this game after almost 30 years. I wish it was possible to expand upon this game and keep the funny tone. Once you can afford the expensive planes and can set up a good route, the game just plays itself and gets boring real fast. There's nothing to do after this - the only fun part is growing your airline until this point.

I can't count the time I invested in this game. I owned it as a CD-Rom back in the late 90s, when the original game came out. Back when PetrolAir was called ArabAir and some voices were different. Airline Tycoon is by far no game for everyone. It can be repetetive and get boring to most people. But I love this game so much. Back in the days I sat at my PC as a young boy with my grandpa and we would play night after night until we owned every route with a couple of hundred aircrafts. It was a blast and even now, almost 30 years after its original release, Airline Tycoon is just fun and enjoyable.

If you're into classic 90s games, you'll enjoy this one. The concept is relatively easy to grasp but the different scenarios offer a decent choice in difficulty
