Graphically nice, otherwise outdated
I got Theme Park as a kid and I loved it back then, which seems to be a common theme with Bullfrog games and how they're rated here. Theme Park's graphical style is still great and the game is full of nice little details. However, that's pretty much the extent of the game's appeal today. First off, Theme Park has a very unintuitive UI. After getting a hang of it, designing your park should be fascinating for a while, and the research aspect keeps things fresh for a bit longer. On the other hand, hiring and micromanaging staff is, at least for me, a pain in the backside, but sadly it's one of the game's only activities besides building more stuff and finetuning prices. You can also manually keep your shops in stock and manage staff wages and the stock market, but you can only do those adequately or wrong. As your park gets bigger, the place gets filled with trash and vomit and you'll get to hear every single time someone throws up or is disgusted by it. The background sound is a very short loop of a noisy crowd that I'll guarantee will get on your nerves sooner or later. Almost the only other sound effects are constant cash register chimes and ride-specific songs. The resulting cacophony is soul-crushing. When your park is finished, you're left with a collection of repetitive animations and the option to build another park just like the last one. I can't recommend Theme Park in this day and age when you have your Rollercoaster Tycoons or even the newer Theme Parks.
