Build a Global Empire from a 1990s Desktop!

The CRT flickers. The modem chirps. The fax machine hums. Across 100+ rival companies and dozens of global cities, your industrial empire is waiting to be built.

FD's Industry Tycoon is a business management sim inside a 1990s desktop. Build factories, turn materials into goods, ship across continents, and buy out rivals who fall behind, through the windows of a vintage OS, scanlines and all.

The World Is Your Supply Chain

Source ore on one continent, refine it on another, sell it on a third. Own every link, or buy from whoever's cheapest.

• More than 250 products run through a six-stage chain, from raw crops, timber, and ore to packaged food, clothing, electronics, and household goods. Specialize in a single rung, or own every step from the soil to the shelf.

• Cities differ: Mumbai's tropical climate and cheap labor reward industries that wealthy, temperate New York won't.

• Buy land in a city's pricey core or cheap outskirts, raise a small building, and upgrade it as demand grows.

100+ Rivals, Each With Their Own Playbook

The market never sits still. One rival bets everything on quality, another wins on rock-bottom prices, a predator grows only by swallowing weaker firms while a cautious one hoards cash for the crash. Some run a chain of stores, some forge goods for everyone else, some own it all from field to storefront.

• Stock a rival's shelves for a cut, or choke their supply and watch it run dry. Every deal is yours to make or break.

• Watch the books. When a rival weakens, buy their stock and absorb the company, factories, research, and brand.

• Grow from the ground up or grow by takeover — the biggest empires do both.

A Desk That Feels Like the 90s

You don't run this empire through sleek modern dashboards, but the way they did back then: clicking through stacked windows, skimming the morning's headlines, pulling up a far-off city on a monitor that flickers the longer you stare.

• Hundreds of hand-drawn pixel-art assets, every building, all 250-plus products, and each company's logo.

• Every new game reshuffles the board: a different spread of cities, resources buried in new corners, rivals dug in where you least expect, and a fresh tangle of who owns whom.

• A full CRT shader: scanlines, screen curve, color bleed, and vignette wrap the whole screen.

• Kkooni, your office dog, naps through every boom and bust.

Boot up. Build your empire.
