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?

Played a bit of Constructor today. A lot of head-scratching moments (namely trying to figure out how to build the gadget factory), but I'm getting the hang of it. Only problem is that the City Council is going to sack me unless I find a way to properly utilize the real estate I have now
