Theme Park

As a fan of Theme Hospital (and theme parks), I looked forward to trying this game. Unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. The game doesn't come with a manual and really needs one. Even with a manual, it's hard to figure out how the game works or what you're supposed to do in it. Even if you can figure out those things, the game still doesn't offer any fun as you're constantly working around its issues, all while having to listen to the annoyingly repetitive sounds effects over and over and over... Perhaps this game was worth a purchase when it was released, but it certainly didn't age well.

Great game the dos box just does not seem upto the job though, seems to crash often once the park starts to get to a reasonable size and alot is going on. Will stick to the PSX version in future wouldn't recommend this PC version as it is far too unstable to be enjoyable.

played for a few hrs then the game keeps crashing

Well hello there! Please don't be afraid. I'm the reviewer and I am here to take you to a magical land. You first lad! Friends can come to. Aha and even grown ups. Oh! I almost forgot... you to. Roll up, roll up for the greatest show on Earth! GO! This game is a goldmine. Sources suggest that people would be willing to pay much more if EA gave a damn for squashing the old frog and their pioneering Designer Series before it even got a foot. Theme Park should be given justice by remastering the DOS version in HD and fixing the long infamous bugs and putting in the missing features the development team had no further time to implement or anyway of patching the first release, yet did bring them to the inferior ports.

I had Theme Park World which was made for Windows, I thought this would be similar but the interface which is designed for DOS is very clumsy and hard to figure out compared to that title. As a first time player I found this pretty frustrating, couldn't even figure out how to save the game or return to the main menu, couldn't pause the game or adjust the speed and didn't feel like I was in control of what was happening at all really. Not recommended for those who didn't have the game back when it was new, doubt I'll play this more than once. Only upside is I only paid $2.80 for it but wouldn't have even paid that for the few minutes I spent on it.
