The Gameboy edition will ship first (on September 20th), and the Android edition will ship the week after.  If you pick up the "Linux Tycoon Mega Collection" now, you'll be alerted when the new files are ready to download.

Linux Tycoon 3

What if you had a video game where you could simulate the day-to-day running of your very own Linux distribution?

What if it took place in the near future and involved Tactical Nuclear Weapons, ground assaults, and Denial of Service attacks?

What if that game ran natively under both Linux and... DOS?

Welcome to Linux Tycoon 3 - The OS Wars.

One of the most ridiculous games ever built.

The DOS and Linux versions both have very minimal system requirements.  The Linux version is x86 and should run on just about any distro.  The DOS version... is... for DOS.

It runs... you know... on DOS.

Linux Tycoon Classic

Linux Tycoon was initially conceived as a joke -- a Linux Simulation and management game.?  How absurd!  But I like absurd things.  So I made it.

It's a funky, weird game.  Highly goofy.  And, wouldn't ya know, the darn thing even made a "Top Indie Strategy" game list the year it came out.  The Universe is funny that way.

The Linux version is a 32bit binary.  So you'll need to install 32bit (i386) versions of some libraries.  Run LinuxTycoon from a terminal to see what libraries your particular distro might be missing.  I'll get a working AppImage (.iso) with all the dependency libraries in it as soon as I get a chance.

The Windows version, likewise, is x86 32bit.  Should work dandy on XP on up.  Probably Windows 2000 as well.  Runs great in Wine.

No MacOS X build at the moment.  As I don't have a Mac.

A note on the DOS version of Linux Tycoon Classic: It's very rough.  It was made, initially, as a joke-within-a-joke.  But it is playable.  It is included here for the sake of completeness.
