You're able to post your scores via the net to the LSX or Lemonade Tycoon Stock Exchange. Its emphasis on day-to-day operations makes the simulation more tactical than about long term strategy. Extended play of Lemonade Tycoon might give a bittersweet taste but there's no denying the game is easy to pick up and put down. Lady luck, it seems, has a lot bigger role to play in supply and demand than Adam Smith was willing to concede. The formula that netted you huge sales one sunny day, may actually turn out to be significantly less profitable the next. Often times, the game throws a string of sunny days, followed by some rainy cold ones. The trouble comes in producing a perfect formula. Lemon to sugar ratio is also another thing to balance. On hot days, ice becomes a necessary requisite. On cold days, you'll want to pare down the ice. The laws behind that science are quite simple. Since this is Lemonade Tycoon we're talking about and not sugar, sorry, soft drinks, there's an exact science to it. Drinks, like Coca Cola or Pepsi, have a certain proportion of ingredients. You either have to settle for less data or more data in less real estate.The other potential stinker in the game is the 'secret formula'. But the cell phone interface is a compromise when it comes to getting reports on how your business is doing. Lemonade Tycoon was originally made for PDA handhelds, and you can even see it now on Yahoo’s games section. In the corporate world, my father told me that the CEO often reads only one paragraph of your report, the VP and directors one page, the managers two pages and the lowly pawns will actually go through the whole thing. Repeat bad business and your stand will eventually be deserted. Lemonade Tycoon even lets you launch advertising campaigns to increase traffic to your place. You can switch to another location by paying rent, although if business suffers horribly, your initial starting place will always remain free. As you amass fortunes, you'll find that your business is quickly outgrowing the potential customers available at your locale. How many customers were served, how many left in frustration and the state of your supplies are available at a glance. If you don't have time to view the entire passage of time, Lemonade Tycoon allows you to skip it but you still get the essential details in an easy to read format. Thought bubbles above people's heads is a clear nod to the Bullfrog franchise that started this trend for the genre. Clearly inspired by Theme Park, your Lemonade Tycoon stand takes place in colorful environments complete with live AI masses who become your patrons. In games like Lemonade Tycoon, Adam Smith is likely the ultimate bible. In RTS games, people often quote Sun Tzu. Therefore, maximum profitability comes from exactly matching your supply with the demand curve. For a hot and sunny one, it's wise to beef up everything just in case you run out. For a poor day, you're likely to stock up on fewer perishable supplies. Afterwards, you watch the day pass away passively, hoping the gambles you made for your Lemonade Tycoon stand earlier in the day paid off. Each day, you're given a charting of the weather forecast, choice of location and a chance to buy essential supplies.
Lemonade Tycoon works on the principles of entrepreneurship, like the popular Tycoon games but it works slightly different. With minimal emphasis on graphics, the fit, as Lemonade Tycoon aptly demonstrates, is almost perfect.
With so many 'Tycoon' games coming out, it was inevitable something along the lines of a business simulation would make it on to the handheld. It follows easily that business simulations are hot stuff on the gaming market today. We've come to love it and, if you're a technology hater, loathe it. These are just some of the terms born in our greatest contribution to the new millennium: the New Economy. CNBC, Nasdaq QQQ, dot-com companies and the infamous phrase: "I'm going to do a startup".
