Health & Fitness Club Tycoon PC Game

Gamers have an opportunity to create their own health club empire, but only if they can keep the books in good shape. This "tycoon"style business simulation from prolific value publisher eGames presents players with six complete scenarios, beginning with a small stripmall startup and leading to a stateofthe art "Mega Health Club," with nearly every imaginable accoutrement. Success depends on many interrelated factors, however. Guest satisfaction is determined by both the layout and equipment available, as well as the costs of using it.

Players must decide what equipment to buy, when to buy it, and where to put it. They'll also have to manage their staff, balancing skills offered with salary requirements and perhaps dismissing employees who don't pull their weight. They'll also make all financial decisions concerning membership fees, promotions, and advertising. Over 100 different staff characters are available in the game. Exercise equipment includes legpress machines, "pec" machines, rowing machines, stationary bikes, steppers, treadmills, weight benches, and more, as well as luxury items such as hot tubs, massage tables, and tanning beds. ~ T.J.
