Pizza Tycoon is an economical simulator computer game designed by the German company Software 2000 and published by Microprose abroad. The game is centered around being the manager of a pizza-serving restaurant in a town in Europe or the USA. It gives the player the option to choose among more than thirty different characters, to create one's own pizza, have cooking contests and modify the display of the restaurant and kitchen. One particular original theme is that the player has the availability to call upon local mafia to sabotage competitor restaurants or get money from criminal activities such as weapon dealing. The game also displays a playful sense of humor; from the graphics and cartoonish drawings, game messages, or animated faces of famous people (such as Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan or Lenin) that are put on interacting characters.
