A rather dry and tedious business sim. There's just not much fun to be hard here unless you let your imagination fill in some of the gaps while navigating the myriad menus.
I modded my Wii so it could emulate stuff when I was in college ages ago and ended up doing that thing where you just start playing every game you downloaded alphabetically. Aerobiz is early on and I ended up spending an entire afternoon on it. It's an okay business sim from what I remember.
Snore huh, sorry, I must have fallen asleep there. On paper maybe this sounds like a decent idea for a game, take control of an airport in a time period of your choice and make it grow, kinda like Sim Air or something. It's a shame it doesn't turn out quite like that. Honestly I just gave up waiting 6 months for negotiations between companies to actually happen, the creators did realise that it's not meant to be like 6 months in realtime didn't they?
Airport business. This is a simulator about airport business on the SNES.
I feel like I should just end the review there, but I need to say that this game actually delighted me. Being a simulator on such limited hardware meant the game couldn’t be too complicated, and the limited control scheme meant that it had to be accessible. Strategy games today often require lots of time investment to understand, and Youtube research is recommended, so this game was refreshing in how simple it was to pick up and how satisfying it was to learn on my own. Naturally, these limitations have the double-edge of not providing enough depth to satisfy for more than a couple playthroughs. If you’re into the simulation genre, it could be fun to check this out and see the nascent stages of a genre that’s grown so much. If you’re not, maybe it shouldn’t be this game specifically, but I recommend trying out a simulation game. I felt a real sense of accomplishment with growing my business, a type of strategic satisfaction that puzzle games and war games never quite provided. Expand your horizons!
