SimCoaster (2001)
Genres:Strategy, Simulator
Game modes:Single player
Story:SimCoaster is the third and final game in the Theme Park series. It uses the same graphic engine as the previous game Theme Park World. It is a theme park management game where players build their own theme park and attract as much visitors as possible. This time there are also grandparents of the little visitors who need to be entertained.
This version focuses more on the management side of running a park. It contains various types of business related to campaigns and objectives, such as bringing in a certain number of guests to a ride. By completing these challenges, promotions can be gained. As with the previous game in the series, players can walk around in their park in a first-person mode and go on the rides.Show more

While a bit less ambitious than Theme Park World, "SimCoaster" or "Theme Park Inc" added a lot of flair and new rides and worlds to the formula. I really loved the Arabian Nights -themed world and the polar one. The game just oozes nostalgia and has a lot of inherent charm in the way it represents the park management experience.
I loved playing this game as a kid, I wasn't very good, mainly because I was 7, but I'd love to be able to play it again, I've actually bought a physical copy to be able to use, but my system is too advanced to run the game, even in compatibility mode, if the GOG team manages to update it to work on modern PCs, I'd happily buy it again
SimCoaster and Sim Theme Park must be released as a GOG Enhanced Edition double bundle! These are two early examples of 3D Theme Park & Management Simulation gaming - and two of the best examples within this (still incredibly popular) genre of gaming!
Bullfrog! GOG! EA! Whoever needs to hear this - please let GOG take control of these two lost classics! I'm sure we'd all love to replay these incredible early park simulators - and you can even walk around your parks and RIDE THE RIDES! Brilliant!
One of my most nostalgic games ever. I don't know how well it holds up, but I loved the intuitive coaster-building mechanic, the quest-based level system, and the wild rides you could build. Working towards unlocking those giant super-rides is a beloved childhood memory of mine. Unfortunately this game is almost impossible to run on modern PCs.
One of the most nostalgic PC games of my childhood. I was never very good at the management side, but seeing all the crazy rides and games, and the intensely nostalgic music and sounds, really got me hooked. I've been trying to get this game playable on modern PCs for many years now and every time it has failed. I would be absolutely stoked to play this on modern PC hardware. Doesn't even need to be remastered, just needs to work.
I played this every week at the public library as a kid. My siblings and I would sit next to each other and play for hours. I would happily buy it if it was able to be run on modern systems!
As I first came to know it, SimCoaster was the first management game to really suck me in! It had a fun sim system with a little cartoony vibe, and a small backstory with a lot of humour. A lot like theme park world, but I felt more connected with this one. The problem was the as I advanced in the game it always ended up having screen stuttering bug that made it unplayable on my PC, so finishing this game is a 20+ year old itch I have. This game really deserves a remake, it always felt like an incomplete masterpiece for me.
Of all the Bullfrog Games and various Simulation-types I played while younger, Theme Park Inc (or Simcoaster) always stuck out as a favourite.
The Business Sim management style was so fun, with interesting missions and progression, and could easily hold up nowadays.
This has always been one of my most devasating losses to lessening physical PC media and generally becoming un-runnable on newer OSes!

Dune: ImperiumIn Dune: Imperium, you'll step into the role of one of the leaders of the Great Houses of the Imperium in a struggle to control the planet Arrakis and the invaluable Spice it provides.
The game plays out in a series of ten rounds, each of which is defined by a new Conflict on the surface of the planet; some award critical resources, and some provide Victory Points that will propel you to dominance. But choose your battles wisely: spread your forces too thin, and you'll find your enemies growing too strong to oppose.
Each round, you'll draw a hand of five cards from your deck, which will get stronger over the course of the game as you acquire new cards. Each card can be played in one of two ways: To send an Agent out into the Imperium to gather resources, or to Reveal at the end of the round to purchase new powerful cards. You must maintain a careful balance to get the most of the resources available to you. How will you find your path?
As your game progresses, you'll vie for Influence with four factions of the Imperium: The Emperor, the economically powerful Spacing Guild, the mysterious Bene Gesserit, and the ferocious Fremen of the deep deserts. Earning Influence among the various groups helps you to earn the Victory Points you need...but will you compete with your rivals for their favor, or abandon alliances to pursue other opportunities?
Many strategies are at your disposal, and many paths to victory. The cards are dealt. The choice is yours. The Imperium awaits.
