Fish Tycoon

By Tristan Tancredi

Restore the once beautiful Isola to what it once was. Now a desolate, fish-free and barren place, your ultimate aim is to find the seven magical fish and restore the beauty.

With a number of tanks to isolate, impregnate, feed or cure the fish, the game will surely keep your attention. With the option of buying and selling fish and a species chart explaining the genetic background of the fish, the creators here have thought of everything.

A list of statistics, including an update of hours played, will put into reality how addictive this neat little game is. Running on true 24 hour time, the young fish grow and get sick as they become mature majestical creatures of the sea. Just make sure you check in on the fish once in a while. Much like a real aquarium, it's a good idea to keep it in top nick.

Mixing and matching the fish will create new breeds and in turn will eventually create the seven magical fish to save Isola.

In what is a slow game, considering it is real time, it's not a game for the action addicted gamer. Purely a game to have on in the background and treat as a real aquarium, nurturing and breeding the fish. If your umming and arring over whether to get an aquarium give his game a go, see if you have the patience to look after virtual fish. If these cretins get sick, maybe a real aquarium isn't for you.
