Was Pizza Tycoon the 34th Worst Game of All Time?

[@evilmiera]

I really loved this as a kid. Fairly sure I pirated it though. Hence why I only ever found success in the mafia section of it.

[@des3iny]

My tactic would be to earn millions through weapons trafficking in the beginning and then start building a pizza empire. I missed the classic pizza requirement and for the life of me couldn't find out why my restaurants are no longer turning profit after some time xD

[@medianjoe9600]

I fondly remember this game. I tried so hard to be a responsible restaurateur but in the end always turned to trafficking “ice cream” between cities to keep the bills paid.

[@TimberwolfK]

For me it's the way things seem to be going just about OK, then the mafia turn up asking for protection money!

[@SensiofRabbitude]

Short answer, no it isnt. Long answer, CGW got it wrong, its a great game and im glad they eventually went out of business.

[@dalebackus3148]

One of the best games of all time that taught me important life skills when I was 10 years ago that have carried through to my actual life.

[@Lee01Mr]

Oh wow I think I have this game somewhere lying around. Along with ant tycoon, hotel tycoon and many more.

[@MorrisseyMuse]

I still have my PC copy of this game! lol one of the first PC games I got, amongst a collection for my birthday I believe. It was great! to this day I don't know many pizza strategy games and it's a good idea.

[@sixstringbestfriend]

I actually enjoyed this on dosbox back in the day. I just didn't like the mafia elements. Wanted a pure business simulator but nonetheless, great review.

[@claudiodiaz9752]

wtf, this game is amazing, I played it a lot when I was younger.

[@TheSwillMan]

i'm trying to sink my teeth into this game but the SEVENTY-FIVE-PAGE manual is making it hard for me.

[@DamonNomad82]

Pizza Tycoon was and is one of my favorite games. I actually still play it on occasion. As a kid in my early teens, I soon discovered how much more lucrative it was to deal in "Ice Cream" than in pizza! I would say that the game was much closer to being the 34th BEST game of all time (as of the time of that review) than being among the 50 worst games.

[@hugoanderholm3191]

Loved in Sweden too!

[@xboxclown8922]

A few weeks ago in a huge GOG purchase I bought this with the other Pizza Connection games. I know over seas this franchise has some confusion mostly with a particular entry. Fast Food Tycoon 2 or better known in the United States as Pizza Connection 2.

[@jd5787]

Loved every single minute I played this game. At the same time I also loved Capitalism. I guess I am entrepreneur material... 😁

[@dilbertfish]

Ah yes, I just wanted to make pizza.

[@Schooloftheages]

I had this game when it was on the regular market, legally purchased. I can’t remember having any trouble learning it and now vaguely remember buying restaurant locations and decorating the spaces and hiring staff. I think I quit playing it because it didn’t have enough variety of play for me. Certainly not one of the worst games I ever played on a PC. I’m sure I bought some games that literally would not install even though I appeared to have all system requirements, and I was unable to figure out why. So one of those would be the worst.

[@TimberwolfK]

With a few of the folks in my KZbin circle we've come up with the idea that lists of "worst games ever" can be pretty much taken as, "a list of games which are mostly OK,". Possibly the genuinely terrible ones are so obscure most readers won't recognise them.

[@germdove]

I spent so many days with a pirated copy of this game not understanding why I couldn't get a restaurant off the ground, thanks for a concise explanation.

[@Ned47628]

Currently 47p on steam.

[@TimberwolfK]

Yay, it's also technically a quid game! Someone should get Yesterzine on the case...

[@Fastwinstondoom]

Thank you for this video! Now I finally know why 10 year old me was totally unable to make any resturants successful!

[@yannhk]

One of the best games I have ever played as a kid, I am still searching information on the internet occasionally about this game after 2 decades because I really enjoyed it

[@amigabang6157]

This would have been popular in the UK on the Amiga if it ever got translated to English. I remember seeing it previewed in The One Amiga magazine, but it never got released.

[@NuStiuFrate]

Never played this game but i have to like a video where a man has a pizza box on his head.

[@djjemo]

The ad came in a bit late. You have a long way to go before you will get a view on tictac man :)

[@thezodiak6666]

its hard but once you master it its the best pizzsim imo

[@brucewayne6293]

I played this back in the late 90s on my cousins computer. We never used the book hence the game always being hard. Good times. I actually picked up pizza connection 3 a few days ago to mess around with again (had it before) and all i've been doing is running my pizza joint out of the pizza cart. it works if a bit limited. Great video... I had alot of fun with the game and will track down the manual if I ever dosbox it again.

[@accountname8819]

Good video!
