›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.
