  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32843451/e9b0e28a3c6f7a4c4982f22e4e1f07321d4ed59f.jpg I'm happy to announce The Epic Tycoon Collection! It is a collection of 3 titles including City Game Studio, Arcade Tycoon, and Computer Tycoon. I can wholeheartedly recommend these games to all of my players. What I especially like about the bundle is that all these 3 games are set in the same era, the 70s when games, software, computers, and consoles conquered our world. The bundle is offered with a 15% discount, so if you ever wanted to create video games or run an arcade... then it is your lucky day!
