For those avid business gurus, here is a game especially for you. Aerobiz, also known as Air Management in Japan, is a single player, business simulation game. Released in 1992 by KOEI, allows the player the opportunity to be CEO of an international airline. In order to become an industry leader, the player must expand the business in a limited amount of time and compete against three other airlines. The player is responsible for many aspects of how the airline develops by having the ability to choose the name, make investments, choose flight routes, as well as, making plane purchases. In addition, the player is subject to various world events ranging from natural disasters to even politics. During the beginning of the game, the player chooses between two scenarios: (1) 1963 to 1995 or (2) 1983 to 2015. The player then chooses their city headquarter, next, they must choose a difficulty level. Players also negotiate, buy airplanes, and then open routes to begin flying. A player can open up to 30 routes, change existing routes, or close any unprofitable routes. The goal of the game is to link all 22 cities and carry a certain amount of passenger that is determined by the difficulty level of the game. This economic simulation game is compatible with SNES and Sega Mega Drive.
Game Reviews
Aerobiz (Air Management: Oozora ni Kakeru in Japan) is a business simulation video game for the Super Nintendo and Mega Drive/Genesis game consoles, released in 1992 by KOEI.
As a chief of an international airline corporation, the player has a limited amount of time to grow their business to become the industry leader. The player has control over many aspects of how their airline develops, such as the name of the corporation, investments, planes, hotels, and much more with an influence of politics, so if you run your airline out of Moscow in 1955, you can only buy Soviet planes, and you have a harder time negotiating with Western nations, and natural disasters and war.
The sequel named Aerobiz Supersonic (Air Manager 2 in Europe) was released in August, 1994 for Mega Drive/Genesis and SNES. In the sequel, the player is presented with a wider variety of options, but the gameplay is the same as in Aerobiz.
You are the chef of an air-line corporation. Your aim is to become the most successful airline in the world by connecting all the cities with air routes, meet the required quota of passengers and maintain a profit. If you cannot turn a profit for a year or win in a competition in 32 years, you lose. You must make strategic decisions including negotiating for open air routes, purchasing or selling aircrafts, invest in branch offices, buying and selling hotels, advertise your airline and set budgets. Also you need to pay attention to statistics like annual sales reports, as well as city and airport data. World events, as Olympic games, war and natural disasters will affect how many passengers you get. All the planes in the game are based on real-life aircraft, such as the Concorde and the Boeing.
It’s a fascinating economic simulator for those who got tired of constant shooting and just want to use the brains.
The market of aero transportations has been profitable for huge money investments. The creators of this game convincingly demonstrate this tendency, providing you with the opportunity to do aero business in different periods of aviation history, either in 1963 – 1995 or in 1983 – 2019. The start money is available right in the beginning (the amount is indicated in the right bottom corner of the screen) but the rival companies are present as well. Everything is similar to reality. Certainly, the best way to start will be to purchase airplanes. You have lots of options here: Boeings, TUs, ILs and even jet Concords.
Further on, you will need to choose the flight routes, the most important factor for success. So correct mapping and routing will bring you a lot of profit. Define the number of liners on the chart, the time table, the cost of tickets and go ahead… and three computer months later you will either get rich or broke.
Another name of the game AirManager.
