Business Simulation Game

Business simulation games , or economic simulation games, are games that focus on the Management of economic processes, usually in the form of a Business. "Pure" Business simulations have been described as construction and management simulations without a construction element, and can thus be called management simulations. Indeed, micromanagement is often emphasized in these kinds of games. They are essentially numeric, but try to hold the player's attention by using creative graphics. The interest in these games lies in accurate simulation of real-world events using algorithms , as well as the close tying of players' actions to expected or plausible consequences and outcomes. An important facet of economic simulations is the emergence of artificial systems, gameplay and structures.

This genre also includes many of the "Tycoon" games such as Railroad Tycoon and Big Biz Tycoon. Other notable business simulation games include Air Bucks and The Movies.
