whatever happened to tyccoon games
tycooning was replaced with tygooning

Look up OpenTTD or OpenRCT2
There was a
thread about this: here the consensus seems to be that the genre was mostly dead for 10-20 years and is making a comeback, but they arent called ""Activity" Tycoon" anymore. Also there's a lot of mobile games that carried on with the Tycoon name and made a whole lot of shovelware, apparentely.
It IS reddit, but it's a niche hobby sub so the info might be valid

Roller Coaster Tycoon was so fun
A fairly recent tycoon game (2017 but still seemingly getting updated) that I enjoy is Computer Tycoon if you're interested
OpenTTD is a banger, but in the more commercial realm Planet Zoo and Planet Coaster scratch the itch. You can pull off some pretty insane stuff with the engine, but it's not quite the same as the games. Also limited in the sense that you need a pretty powerful computer to run it and they lock a lot of in game stuff behind paid expansion packs.
oh yeah i'm wasting a lot of time adjusting objects along xyz axes in planet zoo right now. but the late 90s/early 2000s were a magic age of very average games with blurry isometric pre-rendered graphics named "___ tycoon"
