I agree, this is a awesome game. I still have it on cd, but it doesn't work on my computer anymore. GOG would make a lot off people happy if they would add this game! Another title I heard good things about and never got a chance to try.
I'm told it's one of those games who's game play has never been recreated in another title, despite the 'tycoon' name, apparently. Would require a lot of work. Any Vista or higher machines have to play the game with the audio drivers turned off in order to play.
That said. I love it and I play the game with my wife every other month or so. Which is what I played it on for WinXP. However, I too cannot get it to run even on a Vista machine. One of my All time favorite Games i would buy it in a heart beat if it happend. I remeber this as being surprisingly fun and deep considering the monopoly link. In fact, ignore the monopoly link, there's very little about it that has anything to do with the board game, it's just a great fun city builder. Those wishes are duplicates of this one: Add another.

As you probably already know, this is a very different version of Monopoly than the one we're used to, swapping the turn-based gameplay for fast-paced real-time and the flat surface of a board for a three dimensional city full of people, cars and an avid desire to consume. Comparisons to SimCity are inevitable. It is a simulated city after all. But Tycoorts gameplay is much closer to the classic Theme Park than any city-building god game.
Although you can buy blocks, build houses and erect hotels, the game is about opening shops, bars, cinemas and anything else that will get the punters in and spending their money. Instead of the freeform nature of something like SimCity or Caesar III, Tycoon is very much scenario driven, so it's not all about starting from scratch. More importantly, there is no micromanagement whatsoever, beyond setting the prices of the products in each of your shops which is important when you're trying to outsell an opponent.
Each scenario sets out a goal you must achieve before any of your rivals personifications of the board's playing pieces, with the shoe turning into a cobbler and so on , and which ranges from making a certain amount of money within one day, having the wealthiest empire by a certain year or even becoming mayor.
It can all seem a bit overwhelming at first, especially for people who are more familiar with the traditional Monopoly board game than sophisticated computer strategy titles. But Tycoon does a magnificent job of easing you into the interface and the intricacies of the gameplay, with a set of well designed tutorials and some easy and achievable first scenarios.
Another of the Monopoly staples is also present and correct: the chance cards. They appear every so often in the corner of your screen and, while you don't have to click on them, the curiosity of seeing if it's a good one or a bad one is irresistible. Perhaps the most dramatic is the bad publicity card, which makes every shop in a targeted block sell next to nothing for a day. Others produce strikes in selected shops or make it easier to take over other's property. Like most Theme Park-style games, Tycoon is unbelievably addictive for a short period of time, but it's difficult to imagine yourself playing it for more than a few days at a time.
However, like Deep Red's previous game, Risk 2, it's a title you can keep coming back to at any time for a couple of hours of fun. The game really comes into its own in multiplayer mode, but this suffers from being a bit too slow - you can't speed up the time - particularly if you set up a game against computer controlled opponents.
We're promised add-on packs in the future that will feature loads more scenarios as well as integrating one of the most recognisable Monopoly elements: the prison. This will also introduce a crime element, which should add some much needed spice to what is a fun, but ultimately too one-dimensional, title.
