Lemonade Tycoon has been around for years on many different platforms. EA Mobile delivers in this free popular business simulation. Voted the best Pocket PC Strategy Game of 2002, Lemonade Tycoon is a definite hit full of hours of fun. You run a lemonade stand and are put in charge of every aspect of the business. You will buy the supplies, set the prices, advertise and upgrade to high tech juicing gadgetry. Everyday news flashes give you a great indication on where the current sweet spot is, allowing you to rake in the money. First, you will need a winning recipe. Unfortunately, once a good recipe is found you rarely have to alter it, making this potentially dynamic aspect of the game quite simple. Weather is another variable a savvy tycoon will have to keep tabs on in order to maximize profits. On warmer days, the lemonade is highly desirable and Read More

Well it’s been two months since the last time my friend Eric the Crackhead sent me his random list of untested but potentially worthwhile free apps, but he’s back at it so here they are! A couple are pretty obvious picks that a lot of you have probably tried or might already be using daily, but I think there’s still some good junk for you to discover in this round.

Got what it takes to run a successful lemonade stand? It's tougher than you think. Earlier this week it was Myst. Now another PC classic (hell, Apple II classic) has made its way to the iPhone. Lemonade Tycoon is Electronic Arts' adaptation of the seminal Lemonade Stand, a business and economics lesson shrouded in an addictive turn-based strategy game. Indeed, what looks like (and is) a cute little kids game about running a lemonade stand is actually a clever course in sales, marketing, and management. The goal: Build your neighborhood juice biz into a Starbucks-like lemonade empire. ("Lemonade-bucks"? Nah. Hopefully Marketing can come up with something snappier.) To turn your lemons into yellow gold, you'll need to tweak the recipe, buy enough (but not too many) supplies, decide whether to spend money on advertising, choose a location, add staff if necessary, buy upgrades when prudent, and so on. Bad weather can Read More

I know many of you out there will remember the classic game, ‘Lemonade Stand’. I know I had it for an early system, can’t remember off-hand which one it was now… But naturally when I noticed ‘Lemonade Tycoon’ in the App Store for free, I was intrigued. The game is simple. Buy your supplies, tweak your lemonade recipe, rent a location, spend money on marketing, and make as much money as you can. The interface is clean and simple, and most folks should ‘get it’ after a few rounds of gameplay. The only thing I found somewhat ‘creepy’ and ‘disturbing’ within the game is the way they’ve made this a freebie. For some reason (and please correct me if I’m wrong), the developers seem to have integrated some sort of interstitial ad/survey system. When you’re in the game, and you finish a day of play, every once and awhile you’ll get Read More
