LordFett Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I picked this up for $20 the otherday hoping it was going to be like Roller Coaster Tycoon. Well it is to a degree, you build stuff. That is where the similiarties end.Prison Tycoon you have very little camera control. Forward, back, left, right, up & down. No zoom, no rotate.The game is also very slow paced. I had to use the cheat code for super fast to make it 1/2 way interesting. After letting it sit for 8 hours I still had not gotten from Low security to Medium. In that 8 hours I didn't have to build anything over my first prison.I wish I had picked up the new Civ instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordFett Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 lmao. Do ur prisoners take advantage of the dropped soap?I've yet to encounter showers in the game. I keep the game running on one of my less used PCs just to see if I can get to the Maxium Security prisons and get some death row stuff going.In low security you don't even have cells, just beds.

Elindel Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 (edited) Prison Tycoon you have very little camera control. Forward, back, left, right, up & down. No zoom, no rotate.You really shouldn't bash on a game you don't understand. Makes you look like an id***. You control the camera with the mouse wheel button. Hell, look at the manual from the auto-run. It tells you a little bit about how to play the game... GG Edited June 4, 2006 by Elindel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeveL Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Funny yes but it has a hint of truth to it because the US Government (CIA) ships inthe narcotics (see Michael Rupperts videos on Google Video) and then arrests peoplefor having those narcotics and puts them in the very prisons the Government also runs,thus getting incredibly cheap labour from them and displacing local jobs at the sametime.Thats not a game though, thats real life.

BTW, I'm latino, so don't charge me with racism.Also, are you aware how much it costs to keep a prisoner in prison? A few years ago I heard it was about 20-30k per head. Now, I don't know where you got the idea that, that's cheap, but you need to reevaluate that information.Sorry for the hijack and for bringing up old stuff.
