Overview
Description

Airline Tycoon puts you in the cockpit of a fledgling airline, challenging you to design routes, purchase aircraft, and outmaneuver competitors in a dynamic market. With a blend of strategic planning and humorous events, the game offers a nostalgic yet deep business simulation experience for PC gamers. Take charge of everything from staff hiring to negotiating airport contracts, while adapting to changing economic conditions and random events that test your managerial skills. The single‑player experience delivers countless hours of replayability as you strive to dominate the skies.

Black & White 2 is an acclaimed god simulation and real-time strategy game where you act as a deity summoned from the void by desperate refugees. Shape the destiny of your followers by developing their civilization through peaceful city-building or brutal conquest, while nurturing a massive physical avatar—ranging from an ape to a tiger—whose alignment reflects your moral choices. Building upon the foundation of the original game, this sequel introduces full-scale warfare and fighting units as you lead your chosen civilization across various lands to defeat rival empires like the Norse, Japanese, and Aztecs. Balance your divine miracles, manage your economy and population's desires, and fulfill an ancient prophecy to achieve ultimate dominance over the world.
