Empire Business
Bryan Pearson's 2013 Flash tycoon: gone from Kongregate, survived by its beta sequel.
by Bryan Pearson (Blablob) · 2013 · Web (Flash, defunct)
Empire Business is Bryan Pearson's 2013 Flash tycoon, the game his own dev text on the sequel's page calls 'EB1'. Its Kongregate page has been removed (verified: the URL redirects to the Kongregate homepage and the legacy games API returns 404), the wiki lists it as Flashpoint-preserved, and the Empire Business 2 beta is the live continuation.
What it was
A Flash-era tycoon idle about building a business empire, complete by the wiki's record. The icon above belongs to EB2 and is flagged as such: no live EB1 art exists, its page was removed without a retrievable snapshot (the Wayback CDX was down during research), and the Flashpoint route is noted as plausible but unverified.
The verdict
A historical stub with a living sequel: the honest record here is EB1's absence, EB2's icon, and a pointer to the game Pearson actually finished iterating on.
