Brett’s Review:
This week I decided to review, in my opinion, one of the funniest games I have played for the SNES. Aerobiz Supersonic is a business simulation game that is very unique due to its premise. As soon as you get to the main menu you will have to pick which year you want to begin your game. The game will then give you four different periods of time to start in and end in. You can start as early as when mainstream flights first started, or you can start in the “future of flight”, which takes you to a time after the game was even made. After you pick the period of time you want to start in, you must customize your airline and pick a home base on one of seven different parts of the world. Then you must pick a big city for a “home base”.
After that its a complex game of getting bids for flights and running flights from your home base to a city, or a regional hub in other countries. While you’re doing this, you must negotiate with countries to have flights, purchase planes, and build business ventures to up your revenue. This game is very unique for this reason: while you are facing 3 other computer companies for control of the aerobiz, depending on which “period of time” you play in, certain historical events take place. For instance if you had played in an earlier time period, you can see cities that were once owned by Britain gain independence, and now those cities will be part of a new country (such as Kingston and Jamaica).
There will also be times where tourism is booming in a certain city, or civil wars and natural disasters, which will ruin your business if it happens in a major city you are involved in. To win the game you must have the number one business in 5 out of 7 regions, which is a lot harder than it looks. If you have a lot of time on your hands, play this game, it gets to be very involving and can be a lot of fun, but only if you figure out what you are doing.
