About

The game's unique premise of creating tech products over decades offers a rich tapestry of gameplay for those interested in the world of computer science and entrepreneurship.
PC gamers who relish strategic thinking and long-term planning will find Computer Tycoon particularly appealing. The game caters to players who appreciate a balance of challenge and accessibility, making it suitable for both casual gamers new to the simulation genre and seasoned strategists looking for depth. With its replayability aspect, gamers can experiment with different strategies and approaches to achieving success, making each playthrough a new adventure.

If you enjoy rich gameplay experiences with opportunities for strategic decision-making, this indie gem could enhance your PC gaming library.
Performance profile
October 2017 release. Computer Tycoon was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.
As a strategy title, Computer Tycoon is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.
Extremely light — Computer Tycoon runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
Storyline
Computer Tycoon is an indie business strategy game about Computer Evolution and starting your own company in the 70s. Lead the research race until 2034, create the best hardware and operating system, take care of your infrastructure and even handle your marketing. Find video game gems to promote them on your platforms, conquer the global market and became literally immortal! Computer Tycoon is different from other building/tycoon games because it has a "grand strategy game" aspect. You will control your "computer empire" viewing a world map and managing resources. A journey through computer history Start your adventure in the 70s as a small business somewhere in the world. Learn more about hardware and software inventions that were the first steps to our current modern world, and get a taste of what is waiting for us in the future. Find the classic video games and help a new culture to be born. Create computers your way! In Computer Tycoon the decisions you make during development really matter. Take advantage of the technology, upgrade and design combinations! Does your product need more computing capacity or should you focus more on features, low price or prestige? Maybe change to portable computers or develop more easy-to-use Operating Systems? These decisions will have a major impact on the success of your company. Expand your multinational corporation Expand your corporation in a smart way into multiple countries, build more offices, factories, laboratories and other required facilities. Poor countries have cheaper labor, but richer countries will give you more educated engineers. Market your computers! Having the best product isn't enough. You must take care of people's needs or even "change their needs" using different marketing tools. Balance your budget well between development, production, marketing, and expansion. You have only one life We'll all die one day... but not in Computer Tycoon! You can win the game by becoming a monopoly or reaching the technological singularity if you are fast and healthy enough. Healthy? Yes, you have a small chance to die in the game, so you should regularly check your health. The game is in an EA alpha state. It has bugs and missing/simplified features. Everything is subject to change. Please read the EA details!
