Attack!...(Of The Simulators)

[diet_orange]

So I just spent roughly ten dollars American on a Good Old Game purchase, all simulations (Constructor, Theme Hospital, and Pizza Tycoon). These were not something that I ever really encountered as a child beyond The Sims (I'd heard of Roller Coaster Tycoon, sure, but never played it) and only really started trying once I reached adulthood

What are some of your favorites? Would you recommend any? Any fond memories playing them?

I was VERY hyped for Peter Moluenx's "The Movies" in my teens, thinking that I could make my own 3D movies. But once I got it, it wasn't what I expected at all. I had fun, sure, but I'm not sure how much of that was basically forcing myself to enjoy it since I literally begged for both it and it's lone expansion

You can never go wrong with SimCity, plus If you play it on the SNES you get this...

I bought SimCity 2000 recently and had a lot of fun with it, though figuring out the drop down menu was a bit of a pain. Still a really nice looking game after all these years

I guess it's shameless plug time

Other than that RollerCoaster Tycoon 1&2, Airline Tycoon and OpenTTD are all fantastic choices.

Chris Sawyer’s Locomotion is pretty fun, and has sourceport called OpenLoco

I feel like OpenRCT2 should come standard with every PC install :P

What if it's simulators all the way down?
