Fast Food Tycoon 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 Syndicate in Europe. Activision Value Publishing would release the game in the United States as Fast Food Tycoon in 2000, and would replace the existing waitress sprite with a mild recolor of the one used for the female temp. This version would make its way back to Europe shortly thereafter.
In late 1999, the Mehr Biss (translated roughly as More Bite) was released only in the German-speaking market, and included 10 new cities, new objectives, and the ability to save/load pizza recipes.
This is the only game in the series to which Assemble Entertainment does not claim copyright.
