Also covers Aerobiz Supersonic. These games are very good for what they are, and what they are is not for everyone. They still work as good gateway games to the management sim genre, just because the subject matter is a little more relatable. Also, important note: I tried desperately to work in a Pernell Roberts "San Francisco International" joke somewhere but it was not meant to be.

The amount of hours I put into Aerobiz Supersonic as a kid....yikes. I also wrote their Japan office (I was a kid) and told them how much I liked the game and asked if they had any help for me. Like two months later I got this huge packet in the mail with the SNES and Genesis instruction guides, a hand written thank you note, stickers, and a coupon for Koei games. It meant so much to me as a kid!!

So I rented this game quite a bit when I was about 7. For me I was and am a sucker for anything out of the conventional box. Gaming back then was so genre heavy just like it is today. So a lot of games were just the same game as another game with a small change in gameplay, appearance, or setting. So the idea of a game where you're an airline CEO? You mean we can do that? Sign me up! It was the exact same reason I tried SimCity which became one of my favorite games ever. It also helped that I was very intelligent for my age and could figure out most of the concepts involved.

Not even for japanese kids, these games were marketed towards adults in Japan. They never really thought of videogames as toys for kids like we did.

This may be just me, but I find Aerobiz and especially Aerobiz Supersonic to be somewhat accessible. Heck, I actually played a full game and won a match in the sequel. There’s something appealing about growing a “worldwide empire” even if it is air travel (and especially as you improve the quality of life of struggling cities in the sequel). I’d recommend these to any strategy fans that love tinkering to see how things tick. I think they can vibe with the game the most if they’re able to get over the less-than-exciting subject matter.

This game was my jam as a kid. I rented it all the time on Genesis from the local video store along with the Dune RTS. When said video store closed down I was actually able to buy the game from them.

I played the 2 played mode with my cousin for hours and hours when I was a kid. We were obsessed with Aerobiz. I'm sure I didn't understand half of what I was doing, but I was having fun.

As with many commenters here I loved this game as a child and still think fondly of it from time to time. The music was great and is burned into my mind forevermore, and the skills I casually honed while playing have translated into my career.

I gave Aerobiz a play not too long ago now that I know more. I did great for a few turns before I still didn't know what to do and it all fell apart lol. I will have to try the sequel since it seems a lil better. Thanks for all the awesome videos for all different systems!

I had to special order this game when it came out from Babbage's in a city an hour and half away because I couldn't get it locally! One of my favs.

I still enjoy playing this game and can remember renting it and playing it multi player with three friends and having some real dorky fun.

Aerobiz Supersonic deciding to stop their airline simulator at 2020 is actually pretty funny.

I had no idea any of these Koei games even existed, but not only did they exist, but there are tons of them!

This is one of my fav games as a kid. I spent a ton of time of hours in this, original contra, and super bomberman 2

I recall being intrigued by this back in the day, foreseeing what type of software possibilities could behold with our now 21st century tech.

Love the topical (and otherwise) gaming references. 😅 Shoutout to WWF Wrestlefest!

The other thing you forgot to mention about the music is that it's so super Nintendo sounding as well

This is a game I have fond memories of my father, my brothers, and I playing supersonic for hours. My one brother and I occasionally play this when we see each other. They were really big into the other koei games but I only really got into supersonic and gemfire. I’m definitely going to give the other games a shot now that they will hold my attention.

Your Koei journey must be exhausting. I appreciate the effort you put into taking an honest look at each of these games, what a task! I sure don't want to play these games, but I'm glad they exist for tactical sickos.
