Urban Tycoon coming to iPhone

Some sort of city simulator. A 'sim city', if you like

We've already been promised SimCity for the iPhone, but in the meantime it seems TouchSoft is set to provide us with a town-building alternative.

Urban Tycoon is gearing up for an App Store launch, featuring the expected city-planning gameplay requiring you to establish, maintain and help your own metropolis to thrive.

Fascinating rumours are already spreading about an accompanying desktop application that'll allow you to build your own maps on the PC or Mac, which will then miraculously appear on your iPhone when saved. If Urban Tycoon plays out even remotely like SimCity, EA Mobile will have their work cut out to compete with that kind of cross-platform dynamism.

You can even enter a prize draw to get the game for free by emailing [email protected]. It probably won't help you win a free game, but tell 'em Pocket Gamer sent you. The winners will apparently be announced on October 11th.

Check out the teaser video below, and don't forget to hit 'Track It!' for more Urban Tycoon news as it happens.

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
