Summary

You are the proud owner of a derelict factory — and your very own company! Invest in R&D, learn the basics of Sales and Marketing, motivate your employees and start selling wacky products: futuristic latrines, roller-blades and android home helps! Target your consumers and anticipate their every desire. Tame the emotives by providing designer products that will flatter their image! Lure the techies with the latest in modern technology! And if that isn't enough, use means that measure up to your ambition: spy on your competition and steal their latest inventions, sabotage their machines and drain away their brains, sue them dry for espionage and get the IRS on their backs! Beware though... your competition will not hesitate to form an unholy alliance with the underworld to bring about your demise.

Story

Gadget Tycoon is a management sim that puts you in charge of designing, developing and distributing futuristic gizmos. You compete with rival companies to create the best products and to discover technology that you can patent (and then charge your rivals for). You start with a dilapidated warehouse and a little money. You build up your business by researching technology, choosing employees to hire and buying equipment. You can play the game as an honest businessperson or you can get dirty and spend your time sabotaging your opponents.
