Fast Food Tycoon 2 is a singleplayer bird's-eye view and isometric building, business and strategy game in the Pizza Tycoon series.

The game was initially released as Pizza Connection 2 in Europe, with certain re-releases labeled as Pizza Tycoon 2. Activision Value Publishing would release the game in the United States as Fast Food Tycoon 2, and despite both European names used on digital storefronts, the digital releases would be based on the American release.

Both the retail and digital versions have a problem with laggy text input, which can be resolved by using a custom DirectDraw wrapper.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/599000/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (599000) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  2. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
