supports: Transport Tycoon (TT) is a video game designed and programmed by Chris Sawyer, and published by MicroProse in 1994. It is a business simulation game, presented in an isometric view in 2D with graphics by Simon Foster, in which the player acts as an entrepreneur in control of a transport company, and can compete against rival companies to make as much profit as possible by transporting passengers and various goods by road, rail, sea and air. MicroProse was an American video game publisher and developer founded by "Wild" Bill Stealey and Sid Meier in 1982 as MicroProse Software Inc. It developed and published numerous games, many of which are regarded as groundbreaking, classics and cult titles, including starting the "Civilization" and "X-COM" series. Most of their internally developed titles were vehicle simulation and strategy games. A video game is an electronic game that involves human or animal interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device such as a TV screen or computer monitor. The word "video" in "video game" traditionally referred to a raster display device, but as of the 2000s, it implies any type of display device that can produce two- or three-dimensional images. Some theorists categorize video games as an art form, but this designation is controversial. A programmer, computer programmer, developer, dev, coder, or software engineer is a person who writes computer software. The term "computer programmer" can refer to a specialist in one area of computer programming or to a generalist who writes code for many kinds of software. One who practices or professes a formal approach to programming may also be known as a programmer analyst. A programmer's primary computer language (Assembly, COBOL, C, C++, C#, Java, Lisp, Python, etc.) is often prefixed to these titles, and those who work in a Web environment often prefix their titles with "Web". The term "programmer" can be used to refer to a software developer, Web developer, mobile applications developer, embedded firmware developer, software engineer, computer scientist, or software analyst. However, members of these professions possess other software engineering skills, beyond programming; for this reason, the term "programmer", or "code monkey", is sometimes considered an insulting or derogatory oversimplification of these other professions. This has sparked much debate amongst developers, analysts, computer scientists, programmers, and outsiders who continue to be puzzled at the subtle differences in the definitions of these occupations. Chris Sawyer is a Scottish video game designer and programmer who is best known for creating the "Transport Tycoon" and "RollerCoaster Tycoon" series. He was also the founder of 31X, a mobile game development company. Business simulation games, also known as economic simulation games or tycoon games, are games that focus on the management of economic processes, usually in the form of a business. Pure business simulations have been described as construction and management simulations without a construction element, and can thus be called management simulations. Indeed, micromanagement is often emphasized in these kinds of games. They are essentially numeric, but try to hold the player's attention by using creative graphics. The interest in these games lies in accurate simulation of real-world events using algorithms, as well as the close tying of players' actions to expected or plausible consequences and outcomes. An important facet of economic simulations is the emergence of artificial systems, gameplay and structures. A mobile game is a video game played on a feature phone, smartphone, smartwatch, PDA, tablet computer, portable media player or calculator. Chris Sawyer 's Locomotion is a computer game by independent game developer Chris Sawyer . In his words , it is `` the spiritual successor to Transport Tycoon '' . The game allows the player to use railroads , trams , trucking lines , buses , airplanes and ships to earn money in a transport company between the years 1900 to 2100 . It contains over 40 pre-designed scenarios and a scenario editor , and can also be played in multiplayer mode with another human - controlled competitor . The game is played in an 2D isometric view like the other games by Chris Sawyer , particularly RollerCoaster Tycoon , which uses the engine that was originally developed for Transport Tycoon . The game was released in the U.S. on September 7 , 2004 and a few days later in the rest of the world . In 2013 an iOS version of Transport Tycoon was released that uses the graphics from Locomotion . On March 17 2015 , the game was re-released for digital download on Steam . RollerCoaster Tycoon is a construction and management simulation video game that simulates amusement park management. Developed by Chris Sawyer Productions and published by Hasbro Interactive, the game was released for Microsoft Windows in 1999 and was later ported to the Xbox by Infogrames in 2003. It is the first game in the "RollerCoaster Tycoon series".
