Lemonade Tycoon - PC

Lemonade Tycoon was great fun, but I wish it went furthur in the game and challenged you more after you got all the upgrades(ice machine, cash register..). Great fun. Great for Elementary School kids to learn basics of business too!! I recommend to buy.

Very fun!!!

My computer would not let me install this game due to it being a virus. I looked up the virus definition that had popped up and it indeed was a virus. I was very disappointed.

This game truly is the worst tycoon games I've ever seen! The graphics are horrible (it's almost impossible to tell the alphabets apart), the sound is awful and sometimes there's no sound at all (unless it's raining). You can't even see your own character and the only expressions that you can get from the customer for your lemonade are: -bad -good -too much sugar -too expensive 9/10 times, the customer will think you make really bad lemonade which is very very frustrating. For example, I tried nearly 40 times before I found the right recipe for the lemonade. Which by the way is all the sugars, all the lemonade and all the ice cubes. Another thing that I find very annoying about this game is its repetitive buying of ingredients. You can't buy too much but you also can't buy too little. For example, if you buy 200 ice cubes, they will melt but if you buy too little, you will go out of stock. I still haven't figured out the point of having the LSX (lemonade stock exchange). I think it's just there for no obvious reasons. And also, you don't have any opponent. Your opponent is yourself. That is, when you load the game you have to chose all the company names (which would become your opponent). For instance, if you chose WWW for your company name then you have to type in yourself your opponent's company name. Say if you chose EEE, then you have to first be EEE and then be WWW so WWW would have an opponent in the LSX. I do not understand the point of doing this. The senarios are also really stupid. For example, a scenario would be something like: - National high temperature - Citizens raid Town centre etc. I hope my review was helpful to you. Please do not buy! It's for your own good.

I really liked this game because it teaches the basics of business instead of making all the rules complicated. One step at a time learned business rules take a businessman a long way.

The first time I ever played this game was with the demo version, a 60min trial. At first I was just kind of annoyed with it, and after about 40min gave up and found something else to do. Then, it hit me, the urge to play it, and that's what I did. However when I downloaded the demo, I knew nothing about the 60min trial period, and so with 20min left, the time went by pretty quickly. When it ended I was prompted with the "buy your version now" screen, which was only a downloadable version. In my opinion, I'd rather own the game itself than have to download it. If you ever had to reformat your computer, then you would have to go through the process of proving that you bought it, which can just be a disaster sometimes. Well, needless to say, I finally found the version that you can actually buy and own, and so I got it. Unlike some reviews, it was rather easy to figure out. I'm sure if I set it in front of my 4 and 5 year old cousins, they would figure it out in a matter of minutes. This game is pretty amusing, and somewhat addictive as well. I've had a lot of fun with it so far. I'm sure I'll get sick of it, but it's one of those games that you will want to keep coming back to. The game is pretty simple, yet gives you hours of continuous enjoyment. I recomend this game to just about everyone. (Just about everyone else - if you think too deeply into things, then you may not be satisfied with this game, and will probably never figure out how to play it - like some of the reviewers here). This game has good graphics and sound, but is somewhat of a break from all the new high-tech games out right now. It's simple and fun.

This game is not the same as the free download on Yahoo. Don't waste your money on another Learning Company scheme to deceive the consumer. The game play is slower, with less features as the free version on Yahoo, and there are bugs in it. I called tech support at Learning Company, and what a waste of time that was.

actually, it's less fun than the demo.... the "full version" has less feature than the demo that i downloaded from yahoo games: less map, less utility to upgrade, can't hire employees........how can this happen? it get's really boring after you did all the upgrades and nothing to change.
