Code Tycoon system requirements

A mid-range PC from 2023 runs Code Tycoon comfortably: it asks for 8 GB of RAM and 0.49 GB of storage.

Code Tycoon is a tycoon simulation that traces the history of software development across four decades. Starting in 1980 with nothing but a computer and a garage, players build their own software company by taking on client projects, managing deadlines, hunting down bugs, and delivering working code on time and within budget. The game features over 20 historically authentic programming languages - from early pioneers like BASIC, Assembler, and COBOL to modern staples like Python - each with distinct strengths, weaknesses, and real-world applications. As the company grows, players hire programmers, upgrade their office, and navigate an evolving technology landscape with increasingly complex projects. Code Tycoon combines economic strategy with a deep appreciation for the history of programming.
