In Oil Tycoon you control a drilling rig and try to reach oil deposits deep underground. Using the joystick, you move the rig left or right, lower the drill pipe, or retract it. Hitting oil activates the pump and earns you money, while drilling into dirt drops a stick of dynamite. You must watch out for shale, gas pockets, and even “devils in oil” that can put your operation at risk. The challenge is to extract as much oil as possible without endangering your equipment.
