Air Bucks

About

Air Bucks lets you manage an airline from the ground up. You buy routes, set ticket prices, and balance expenses while competing against other carriers. The focus is on logistics and long-term planning rather than flight mechanics. Players track fuel costs, route demand, and market shifts to expand their network. The DOS, Amiga, and Atari ST versions offer single-player campaigns and head-to-head matches. This 1992 title carved a niche in early business sims with its straightforward approach. Though basic by modern standards, its no-frills design earned praise from strategy fans of the era. The 1993 Amiga update added refined features but didn’t change core gameplay. A quiet precursor to deeper titles like Theme Park and Transport Tycoon.
