Theme Park (PC)

Theme Park was one of the first games I played on the PC and is still one of the games that I think of as a classic. The game has a very simple gameplan...build your own theme park through placing rides, paths, toilets, shops, scenery, etc and through the hiring of staff including workmen, cleaners, security and entertainers and try hard to make as much money as you can. The money you make will be controlled pretty fully by you as you start out with a small bus of passengers arriving, basic shops, basic rides, etc and to improve what you have available you need to invest in development (the development is broken down into seperate sectors including improved rides, ...  Read the complete review

Theme Park marked a turning point in Sim game design. It combined the detail and complexity of other titles (however it mercifully allowed you to scale down the depth of the simulation ) with cute and colourful graphics, humerous animations and a slightly bizzare Barclays Bank sponsership to creat one of the most enduring and sucessful Simulation brands ever. Your goal is to conquer the world of theme park management by building fantastic parks in locations all over the globe. To do so you must provide rides and attractions for your paying customers, setting ticket prices and entrance fees for everything within the garish walls of your park.

I am sure most of you are familiar with this game. This game was the first of its kind to appear on the market - and very quickly got a great reaction and reputation from its customers. I first played this game on the MegaDrive, and I thoroughly loved it. I had never really seen anything like it before, and it was refreshing to find a game different to Sonic, Mario, etc. and in my opinion gave birth to future games such as Theme Hospital and Rollercoaster Tycoon. The aim of Theme Park, is basically to conquer the world and become the greatest Theme Park Manager in the world. This is no mean feat however, and also will take a long time.
