Air Management '96, the preview that's been 11 years coming

Don't know if Tim got his yet, but here we go anyway.

Title screen. Just beautiful.

Here's where it all happens. Top, moving counter-clockwise: Open New Route, Change Route, Send Out The Cronies, Buy Planes, Establish A Hub (I think). I'm not sure what some of the other stuff is for. I know there's a menu for the Board Room and Budget. And the last three are Info, Config, and End Turn.

Piss poor shot, but you get the idea. London to Moscow.

I'm actually the top airline. I got confused and named one of the computers KnepAir.

This game kinda sucks. There are only like 22 cities. And I can't get the background music to work. Unless I'm missing something, I'm giving this a big THUMBS DOWN. I'll try to play it at a friend's place so I can get some translations.

As expected, KinnAir has free reign over North America. Like RC or I could do anything about it with all that Arab hate BS. RC Air better watch his little Southeast Asian empire. "Comin' to getcha gator..."

More of the same. The race in Europe is tight.

Same story as last quarter I think. What's KinnAir saving so much money up for?

Looks like AirAkim is turning things around. It's his "asses in seats" versus RC's "gouge the customer" for second place. KinnAir...nothing but blue skies ahead in North America. I'll just do what I do with my ghetto planes.

Just a suggestion here. To keep thing speeding along, we should have the last person to take their turn in each cycle post the screens. You know, cut out the middle man. It's easy. It took me like 5 minutes.

Back to the red for me. You would think people from Cairo would want to visit Paris, sadly KinnAir Airlines can't even give tickets away for that flight. We need to take note from the industry leader and be near perfect on our decisions from here on out. If things don’t change I'm doomed to a life cargo flights in Africa. Hurry up my MD100’s America!

Cheers.

Finally a glimmer of hope for the fledgling KinnAir Airlines. KnepAir flies first this quarter. RC leads sales for the second quarter in a row, wonderful seeing all these international routes sprouting up overnight. Good luck in 2001.

Cheers.

Really, a small number of people braved KinnAir Airlines, regardless of how meaningless Aerobiz thinks my airline is. No regional/world news to report. Good luck in Q4.

Cheers.

I've only got one charmer on my staff, my team needs to nail down these International slots or I'm done! KnepAir flies first.

Cheers.

Quarter 1 Results are out. Let me remind everyone:

Green = Sales
Red = Costs

There was no regional/world event news to report. KnepAir flies first.

The Rules.

2007-02-15T20:15:00.000-08:00

Aerobiz Franchise Settings:

Supersonic Travel (2000 - 2020)
Level 5 (Supersonic)

The starting area's were randomly determined.

AirAkim - Tunis
KnepAir - Tehran
RC Air - Baghdad
KinnAir - Cairo

To increase the competition I've decided that we double up in regions. Should you want to expand and return your slots first turn, that is entirely up to you. The most important new rule we must enforce is that no player shall ever advance past their given turn to learn the secrets of a competing Airline. This confidentiality agreement will introduce a new dynamic to such a wonderful game.

Introduction.

So here is how this works, the idea was quite obviously ripped from Shane and Ricky passing their Civilization 4 franchise around. We're all Aerobiz veterans here, so let me quickly explain.

There are four files you need to run Aerobiz on your computer:

ZSNES (the emulator)
Aerobiz Supersonic.smc (the rom)
Aerobiz Supersonic.srm (the state)
Aerobiz Supersonic.zst (the savegame)

Fortunately these files are tiny, I will email the files so you will only need to download them once. Once downloaded, merely keep the files in an easy to access folder on your desktop. Once the franchise gets rolling you simply email the .zst file (save game) to the person who's turn is next.

After everyone has completed their turn for that round the file will be emailed to me and I will post screenshots of the results. When the fourth and final person takes their turn (for the round) they will save the file before ending their turn. This will minimize the risk of losing the round results.

After a round has been completed, I will post all end of turn news and statistics for analysis.

Alright, so are you ready for some Aerobiz?
