Even the hovering ships are flat, though colorful. The rotating earth in the background seems to enhance the loneliness, and the buildings, blocky with only minor animations, fail to offer any contrast to the dullness. The moon, however mysterious and dangerous, is still a dead hunk of rock, and every level is played on a square patch of ubiquitous gray. The trite story furthers the missions, but isn't engrossing.Īs bad as the story is, though, the graphics are worse. Fu Chan, your first officer, drifts into space after inspecting a radar anomaly, and returns barely alive years later, with a possible alien abduction mystery in tow. President Little is a whiny, incompetent back stabber whose son is no better. From that point, though, the story wanders with lame stock characters. The science fiction plot has some basis in reality, as Helium 3, a real-world element found mainly on the moon, is considered by some experts as a possible solution to the inevitable energy shortage facing the world. Only by balancing business and the rigors of space will you become the ultimate moon tycoon. Four types of industries, each with unique strategies, include research, tourism, production, and mining.

The Earth's population has devoured the world's fuel supply, but the crisis can be averted when a rare isotope used in fusion, known as Helium 3, is found in abundance on the moon. It adds nothing new to the genre, but offers enough to make you sneak in an extra session here and there. Moon Tycoon, despite blocky graphics, basic sounds, and a familiar story, is surprisingly addictive and given half a chance, may work its way under your skin.
