    Fish Tycoon is a fish breeding sim where you breed and care for exotic fish in a true real-time aquarium (comes with a built-in screensaver!).

    STORY

    "There was once a hidden and mysterious island called ISOLA. Hidden in this island was a magical lagoon where the most rare and wonderful fish swam. These fish lived in a delicate balance held together by 7 special magical fish.... One day something happened... Where have all the fish gone? You must find the 7 Magic Fish and restore the balance. You must save Isola!....."

    DESCRIPTION

    The object of this tycoon game is to discover the 7 MAGIC FISH of ISOLA and restore the island to its former glory.
    You start with a small selection of fish, some money and a tank. You must breed them, care for them, help them grow, and cure them if they get sick. Along the way you can buy supplies, medicine, research technologies or invest in advertisement to enable you to discover rarer and rarer species until you find the Magic Fish. All of this will be financed by selling exotic hybrids in your shop.

    The game runs in TRUE REAL-TIME, so that if your device is turned off or you exit the game, hours later small fish will have grown larger and new surprises await you.






    FEATURES:
    • REAL-TIME! Keeps going even when it's off!
      New surprises every time you turn on your device!

    • INFRARED BEAMING: Trade or share fish with your family and friends!
    • Extremely Addictive and Unique Style of Gameplay
    • Genetic Puzzle: discover which breeding combinations will create the 7 Magic Fish

    • Strategy Game: test your business skills and aquarium skills
      at the same time (multiple approaches to solving the game)

    • Screensaver Mode: breed and choose your own fish
      for your built-in screensaver

    • Totally Relaxing Game: care for your fish without timers in a soothing aquarium environment!
      No time pressure - No stress - No violence

    • Adjustable difficulty and flow of time
    • Tutorial mode to help get you started

    • Online Instruction Manual

    I just got a new Tungsten E2 the other day and ran across this program. I bought the program yesterday. This is some awsome program. All the different things to do, remember. The graphics are wonderful. I am having a hard time putting the unit down. The neatest thing is that is keep running on standby. Great program. Everyone needs this !!

    I usually stick with freeware games because I get bored easily. However, this one is well worth the time and money. When I found 2 Magic Fish using only the demo, I knew I had to register and find the other 5.

    My friend has the game and we even keep a spreadsheet of which fish to breed to get a certain fish. So far we have found 4 Magic Fish! This is the best and most addictive game ever. Can't wait to see what's next from LDW.

    Not a bad Game but very very slow takes several hours to grow fish from the time they are born until you can sell then. Not someting you can sit down and play you basically have to set up a task then turn the game off for several hours before anything happens

    I know it's been said, but this game is well worth the money and the only game I keep coming back to.

    This is the most addictive game I have on my Treo... I almost to take calls sometimes when I am in the middle of breeding my fish!

    If you don't want to waste your time away playing games - stay away! This is too much fun!
