The closer to the city, the more expensive the land is. This isn't exactly as challenging as it sounds because once you've selected the continent and city, there are just three options that vary only by the price and distance from the city you've chosen. When you start the game up, you're supposed to select a spot to place your airport. So what do we do about this? Simple, us great folks here at GDR will help you get started and, as we go, we'll tell you whether this game, um, flies or not.
Pages 24-30 are filled with credits and as a whole, the manual, all 15 pages of it, is utterly worthless. It does not, however, explain the buildings available, the difference between a medium and a small control tower or how to set up a terminal that can prevent security breaches. I kid you not, according to this manual full - screen means using the ENTIRE screen and windowed means only a part of the screen is used - who would have thought it? From pages 9 to 24, the various screens of the game are explained, yet this clinical approach to describing the game doesn't give any information that you couldn't figure out yourself. It spends the first 9 pages talking about the installation and explaining the difference between running in full screen vs. This is a complex business simulation about running an airport and the manual provided runs to a mere 30 pages. The most striking ting about the game is the manual.
Unfortunately, in spite of being a good idea on paper, Airport Inc doesn't follow through on its initial promises.
The challenge of creating an infrastructure and trying to turn a profit while meeting safety regulations is novel. Transport Tycoon Deluxe featured air travel, but only as a minor part of te gameplay. To my knowledge, no other game in recent history has touched on this potentially very interesting subject. Airport Inc is a game about building airports.
