Good Management Sim?

[mohawkg2]

Don't know if this should go here or Other Games.

Anyways, anyone know any good management sims? Not like SimCity or Cities XL, but one where you manage like, a shop, not a full blown city.
Also
PC Only, and it has to be free.
Recetter Looks good, time to torrent it

Theme Hospital was fun when I was younger, not sure if it'll still hold up in comparison to todays games, but I'd recommend it.

Pretty much any bullfrog "theme" game was fun. (Yet again: fuck you EA for killing that company.)

McDonalds Videogame is pretty addictive

Most of their games were awesome. Besides the Theme games we had the Syndicate and Populous series, oh how I loved those.

Is this PC specific? Because I've played this game on my (Android) phone called "Game Dev Story" where you sim owning a gaming developer company. I did enjoy it a lot and spent a lot of free time on it. The developers Kairosoft also have a lot of other sim games on the market. Only played Game Dev Story though.

Check this game.
You own a store and collect items to craft and such. It's quite a but of fun the first time.

Yeah it's on the iPhone

Transport Tycoon Deluxe, closing in on 20 years though but you'll never find anything like it (there is an open source remake which actually supports bigger than VGA resolutions and has some nice options, you only need to pirate the original game for the textures).

Omg Rollercoaster Tycoon (the original one) oh I fucking loved that game

Even though I glanced over the store part, I would of bet that was a link to tf2.

God dammit I love that game. Had it for my iPod. I need to get an android emulator :sweetjesus:

The Sims 2: Businesslife or whatever it was called is pretty neat. It's not super duper advanced shop-management but it's still fun to fix with your own company.

I don't normally like animeish games, but downloaded a demo and enjoying it, might end up picking it up.

Yea, it's a lot of fun. Only down side is there isn't much replay ability. Without goals it's meh.

Guys. Guys.

and it has to be free.

That's pretty much all our suggestions fucked then.
