Moon Tycoon

This futuristic city-building simulation focuses on establishing a lunar colony and expanding into space. Its three connected campaigns must be played in order, with ten levels of varying difficulty in each. The first centres on mining helium-3 to address an energy crisis on Earth; later campaigns deal with corporate rivalry for lunar influence and humanity’s move to colonize the asteroid belt beyond Mars.

In sandbox mode, players can choose the Moon or an asteroid, set the terrain type, starting funds, ore quantity and average building lifespan. The play area is used to construct buildings and alter the terrain. Structures include housing and medical facilities, tourism, research, utilities and industry, while reward buildings are unlocked by completing objectives. Colony management and disasters also shape the course of play.
