Pure business simulations have been described as construction and management simulations without a construction element, 2 and can thus be called management simulations.

Indeed, micromanagement is often emphasized in these kinds of games.

They are essentially numeric, but try to hold the players attention by using creative graphics.

The interest in these games lies in accurate simulation of real-world events using algorithms, 6 as well as the close tying of players actions to expected or plausible consequences and outcomes.

An important facet of economic simulations is the emergence of artificial systems, gameplay and structures.

This genre also includes many of the tycoon games such as Railroad Tycoon and Transport Tycoon.

Another similar example of a business simulation (that models a startup business) is SimVenture Classic.

This is a browser-based multiplayer game in which realistic market behavior is formed as a result of the interaction of multiple players.

Some online simulations are aimed primarily at the leisure market while others have real world applications in training, education and modelling.
