Conclusion

Car Tycoon's information in general is rather vague. About the best summary you can find is the one that you receive annually on the screen. You can head over to city hall where you can find the number of each different type of car in the city, and by whom it was manufactured. Documentation is provided in the form of a thin manual that doesn't present much more information than is available from within the game's tutorial.

There are no difficulty levels, but you usually succeed in this game if you just stick to a plan such as making your cars as cheaply as possible and making a specific type of car. You can typically sell a lot of technologically inferior vehicles if they are inexpensive enough. I'd have to say that Car Tycoon is attempting to capitalize on a concept that has not yet been branded with the "Tycoon" label; one that has become synonymous with successful computer titles. I recommend it to only those who want a shallow opportunity at running their own car corporation.
