Shop Manager : Video Game Tycoon

This game is just all over the place. It doesn't know what it wants to be or what it is about - half of the mechanics don't make any sense at all. So... you start out and pick the tutorial, where it throws 15 screens of text at you explaining the buttons instead of walking you through gameplay like most titles. No biggie though, the game mechanics aren't too hard. There's an intro. A guy is leaving you in charge of his video game store for a month. If it earns enough money, he'll give you the store after that. Then the game starts out and you pick the merchandise you want to sell. It's a resource management type of thing. You have to physically put that stock on the shelves, too Next you open the store. It puts you behind the cash register and throws as many customers at you in one minute as you'd see in a real Gamestop in a day. You've got to scan stuff, answer customer questions from memory about the review scores on your games, and at the same time make sure no-one is stealing a...

This game very much makes you feel like your working in a store. You have to do it all. Keep the store clean, wait on customers,order inventory, bust thieves. At some point you can also develop games. If you wanna feel the struggle of what it is like to make money in a business this is a pretty interesting game. Really didn't run into any bugs but then again only played for 1.2 hours. For the current price I have to give it a thumbs up.

Finally, a good shop management game. You manage a video game store. The game is easy to learn and the difficulty is good. It's a pleasure to manage your own shop. You can also develop your own video game company, recuit staff and firing job. It's addictive, funny, you get quickly used to it , you don't actually see how much time you have spent on it. I find that the programmer suceed his challenge. You have to manage well not to go bankrupt. It's seldom to find a game who deal with shop management. I recommeng it to people who are keen on this kind of game. We need to support these independents who provide a lot of energy, time and resources to make innovaties games, not always perfect but quite interesting.

Very potential game, personaly i love managing games as i'm accountant. This game could use some more features though, and changes. Family changes and features i would like to see: ° Family spending reduces to around 100 max 200 dollar a week, makes it more realistic. ° Buying from furniture keeps their meters filling over time to 100% ° Family members can be ordered to help in the shop with cleaning and keeping racks filled. Shop changes and features i would like to see: ° Buying and selling from used games and aditions on reduced prices ° More space in the racks to place more items ° Options to expansion the shop or buy bigger shops to sell more ° Bills reduced to once a month with more realistic amounts of money Game Development part changes and features: ° Option to choose or write title, box pictures and console type ° Sliders for different genres, settings ° Option to sell the game to larger companies or produce yourself and sell to shops Keep up the good work, ...

Apparently, the developer decided to start a new game before finishing this one. No new updates due until September according to the developer. The game is pretty boring in the current state. I cannot recommend.

It's a fun game, good concept. A little too much tedious clicking for my liking but a great effort on the side of the developer.

Well, I'd have to say after having played it for awhile now, I think this game is deserving of praise. It's relatively straightforward and I like the fact that you can choose to have various parts to manage instead of all of it at once (even though I did end up doing a full playthrough with both the character's family and the game development section...with the lowest starting money no less ._.). But I guess I wanted to see how it would handle if I tried to manage it in a certain way. And, it worked! It turns out that mostly you just have to make sure that everyone's happy, more or less. Setting the prices of your merchandise too high causes people to refuse to buy them, so that can keep you from making as much money, just as much as giving your employees for the game development section bad benefits or even halting their ability to take vacations...Thankfully, that isn't necessary, because if you balance everything out, you won't make a ton of money, but you will end up being able to ...

Great little tycoon game with the added bonus of the little side quests. Not only are you managing your uncle's shop but you have to take care of your family's needs PLUS the developing and staff management of your own video games! Played a number of hours on this and love it so far!

You would think this game would be boring and stupid, and then you look up after being sucked into the damn thing for a week.

Kewl. Bit hard to figure out at first. Saves at each day, so not an ideal thing to play in like 15 minutes.
