The recent discussions in the forum about changes to Tycoon World made me think back to when I first came upon Industrial Tycoon. I looked at the SuDe first thing to find some product that nobody else was making. I picked coffee. My thought was that if nobody was making it, it should be profitable. There was no way I was going to make wooden furniture or ice cream. Those products were so over produced that a functioning market simulation would lead to huge price crashes and company failures.
Boy was i wrong. In this game the products that are the most over produced are the ones you need to produce to win.
