Pizza Tycoon Page (the best info & hints available.with forum)

is a strategy game where you are an aspiring pizza chef, who wants to start the best pizza chain in the world. You begin by choosing a character you want to be (they differ in appearance and abilities, but the most important factor is the amount of money they have at the start).Then you choose one of the cities in the USA or Europe, where you will rent the building that will become your first pizza restaurant. Before you open it, however, you have to buy furniture, decor and floors (there's a huge choice); hire some cooks and waiters; add some pizzas to your menu, and buy ingredients (you can buy at various shops, which offer various quality of the ingredients). Once this is all ready, you can open your first restaurant and then advertise it via fliers, billboards, newspaper or TV ads.Creating your own pizzas, either to include into your menu or to take part in pizza-making competitions, is an important part of the game. You begin with an empty dough, and you're free to add a lot of various vegetables, meat, fruits or herb onto it. Remember that various people like various ingredients - if your restaurant is in a district populated mostly by kids, you can expect that a pizza made of sweet things will be popular. Also, specific ingredients rise and fall in popularity; if the newspaper announces that pineapples are bad for health, then sales of your Pineapple Pizza might plummet!But while earning money as a honest citizen can be fun, it's even more exciting to get involved with the Underworld and buy weapons to devastate your competitor's restaurant, or do missions for the Mafia (which usually involve picking up something at a specific place at a specific time, and bringing it somewhere else at a different time). But beware, as this can bring you problems, either from the law or from the Mafia itself.The original European version,, features a lot of characters drawn in the style of the cartoonist Don Martin (known from the MAD magazine). However, when Microprose licensed the game for the US release, they wished to avoid a lawsuit and so had their artists draw new heads for all these characters. Most of the new head graphics were created by the artist Terry Greer . They include caricatures of famous people, such as Abraham Lincoln or Ronald Reagan, as well as more bizarre faces such as an alien or a fly. The entire collection of the new heads can be viewed on Terry Greer's website Life Insurance is completely useless. You can't die in the game, and even if you could, once the game is ended, you have no heirs to receive the cash.After one year and two years respective playing, new stock companies are introduced to the game.The intro tune is taken from "", better known in the English-speaking world as "".
