  1. Theme Park is a 1994 business simulation game by Bullfrog Productions and Electronic Arts, where you manage an amusement park, balancing fun and finances. Its charming graphics and complex simulation are enhanced by a fitting soundtrack by Russell Shaw.

  3. I picked up a copy of Populous on the Amiga recently. It's a gift for a friend who, in 1990, played it for about 12 hours straight. We played it together all afternoon and I went to bed at about 1am.

    When I got up at about 9am, he hadn't moved!

    Things you might not know about Populous:

    * It was one of the first god-games and an early real-time strategy game.
    * one of the first cross-platform, multiplayer games
    * It was spun off from a map editor that could raise and lower land.
    * British game, big in Japan
    * one of the first games to be written in C instead of assembler
    * from: Mobygames.com: It was only decided that Populous would be about gods when somebody from a magazine came over, looked at it and said "so it's a bit like being a god". Before that, there was no plot to explain what was going on, and after that comment, the whole plot had a direction."
    * from: Hardcore Gaming 101: "by the end of 1989, Populous accounted for over a third of EA’s revenue"

  4. Anyone know if there is an open source (re-)implementation of #ThemePark, like there is #openTTD for #TransportTycoon Delux and #openRCT2 for #RollerCoasterTycoon2?

    On my brief search I could only find #openTPW, which is for Theme Park's successor, #ThemeParkWorld.
