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!
SimCoaster still lives rent-free in my head—and for good reason. Its quirky Bullfrog charm, sarcastic Advisor, and over-the-top coaster chaos made it unforgettable. Building in themed zones like the Land of Invention felt like storytelling, and the sheer freedom to create wild rides (and watch the hilarious guest reactions) was unmatched. Sure, the Golden Ticket challenges and path-finding issues drove us nuts, but it was all part of the fun. Even playing solo felt social, especially with early online communities swapping coaster designs and lore. A GOG release would be perfect—not just for nostalgia, but to keep this creative gem alive for a new generation. I'd binge it all over again in a heartbeat.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black WaterFatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is a survival horror video game developed by Koei Tecmo and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. The fifth main entry in the Fatal Frame series, it was released in Japan in September 2014 and worldwide in October 2015. As with previous games in the series, players navigate areas filled with hostile ghosts which must be fought by taking photographs using the Camera Obscura, which is directly controlled using the Wii U gamepad. A post-endgame story featuring Ayane, a character from the company's Dead or Alive series, is also available featuring altered gameplay mechanics. The story, which is set on the fictional Hikami Mountain, focuses on three protagonists who are drawn into supernatural events revolving the area, including an ancient ritual to seal away Yomi, a malevolent force corrupting the surrounding spirits that is tied to the fate of the titular shrine maiden Ouse Kurosawa.
Planning for the game began in 2011, during the projection of the Wii remake of Crimson Butterfly. The game was first proposed by series co-creator Keisuke Kikuchi when he saw the Wii U hardware and the possibilities of the gamepad becoming the Camera Obscura. The game was a joint production effort between Koei Tecmo and Nintendo Software Planning & Development, with Kikuchi and fellow co-creator Makoto Shibata returning as to their respective posts of producer and director, together with staff from the previous series entry Mask of the Lunar Eclipse and developers new to the series. The cast went through several revisions during development, while the staff experimented with the capacities of the new hardware. As with previous games, it features a theme song by Tsuki Amano. Upon release, the game received critical acclaim for its use of the gamepad and dark atmosphere, while opinions were mixed on its story, portrayal of its female characters, and other aspects such as its pacing and controls.Action Horror Survival
