Roastery Games has introduced a new simulation game to its extensive lineup: Console Tycoon, where you construct your own gaming console empire. Set in the 1980s, this is the era when the gaming industry was just beginning to take form.
Roastery Games is renowned for letting players grow businesses in simulations, particularly those centered on gadgets and technology—think Devices Tycoon, Laptop Tycoon, and Smartphone Tycoon 1 & 2. They’ve also expanded into other niches with titles like Art Gallery Tycoon and My Taxi Company.
Be the Console Tycoon for Free!
In 1980, gamers were still glued to bulky arcade cabinets while home consoles were just emerging. Online gaming hadn’t even been conceived yet—but Console Tycoon lets you rewrite history. You’re there at the dawn of it all, with the power to define the future of gaming.
In this simulator, you step into the world of console development, starting from nothing and building a gaming empire from the ground up. Design the hardware, choose the specs, and decide what sets your system apart.
The options are endless: craft a sleek, futuristic machine or a rugged retro console with wooden paneling. With over 10,000 customizable features, you can refine every detail to perfection.
You begin in a small office, but as your business expands, so does your workspace. Hire and train staff, grow your company, and launch your own online store—all part of the journey.
Keep Up with the Industry
The industry evolves rapidly, and falling behind means getting left behind. That’s where research and development come in. As years pass, new technologies emerge—VR, online multiplayer, and portable handhelds.
Secure exclusive deals with legendary game developers to ensure your consoles have the hottest titles. You’ll also need to spread the word through smart marketing and targeted ad campaigns that capture gamers’ attention. Explore Console Tycoon on the Google Play Store.
