The original VIDEO GAME TYCOON® has been a huge success among young players, particularly in the educational market. In fact, some middle school programs even incorporate it into their curriculum teaching video game design.

Like the original VIDEO GAME TYCOON®, young designers are given a set of building blocks that they put together to create an infinite variety of game play scenarios. Each game can have multiple levels, and each level can have many different objectives, bonuses and upgrades.

The ONLINE EDITION has many new features, including first-person-shooter capabilities, golfing capabilities, and the ability to customize object images.

The software also includes a simple online posting option so that players can 'publish' their games online to GAMESweet.com, making them a real-life VIDEO GAME TYCOON®.

"To be a video game designer is the most popular career choice for American kids," said Angus Henderson, VP of GAMESweet® Software Inc. "VIDEO GAME TYCOON® allows these kids to use their vast creativity and imagination to become actual video game designers. This is why parents and school programs endorse the game, and why kids rave about it."

VIDEO GAME TYCOON® ONLINE EDITION includes more than 30 fun games that are ready to play and 4 interactive tutorials that show players how to build their own video games from scratch.

The GAMESweet Player(TM) is supported in Internet Explorer® on the Windows PC platform.
