Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 is worth any negative social impact it has on my life.
Oh I love it, but my ultimate favorite is the 1988 DOS gama Life & Death where you had to cirurgically remove the appendix (and there was also brain operation). The graphics were shit of course but the amount of steps on each operation was awesome. You have to cut each layer of skin, remove the apendix, suture each layer back not leting the patient bleed of die. Amazing

PLEASE if you are a game designer remaster it!
Holy crap, I had this game and never once successfully completed a surgery. Everyone died.
I was still in elementary school, so it was still fun to goof around.
Yes it was super dificult! We did it once, years later, following a tutorial lol
Trauma Centre on the DS is pretty much that.
Also Surgeon Simulator (and the VR port) but that’s more a comedy take of it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣Sugeon similator is nothing like this
Steam has a 4X sale going on now and the latest Theme Hospital spiritual successor made two spinoffs.
They made a sequel to Evil Genius in 2021.
Whatever interests from the late 20th century you think only you had are almost certainly disappointingly mainstream now.
But hey, keep at it. I’m still holding out hope for EA pulling off a Dungeon Keeper sequel at some point even if it’s a PR stunt.
My wife just picked Black & White (2001) back up. That game has held up better than I’d ever have expected.
The B&W games feel weirdly… mobile these days. They put a lot of work into that 3D hand interface and it turns out they just ended up stumbling upon a semi-competent touchscreen UX.
Heh, and the graphics can probably be managed on any low-end phone nowadays.
You’ll want to check out “Dungeons”. I recently played Dungeons 3 and it is basically an improved dungeon keeper except you can go into the overworld too.
I played them all. They’re not the same.
I’d say that Evil Genius sequel is the closest we’ve had, honestly.

I love Theme Hospital! I played the crap out of the PS version back then. I miss this type of wholesome humor in games.
Have you played the new Project Hospital (on steam)? Not “new” but current lol
It’s pretty good!
I’m avoiding Steam but I can see it’s on GOG as well. Is it humorous or serious? The humour is one aspect that makes me like Theme Hospital.
Two-Point Hospital is great, available in all plataforms and it is very humourous.
Project hospital is very detailed and serious. The most I"ve seen a hospital management be. There is even a mourgue

Thanks for pointing out!
I liked it too but was never good at it as a kid though I imagine I’d kill it as an adult.
I knew it existed but only played it when I as already an adult. If you can, give it a shot, I highly recommend it. It’s one of those games which can get hectic but in a very relaxing way, it’s hard to describe.
Last time I tried to find a way to play it I went down this deep rabbit hole of pirating where it wasn’t clear what I was downloading. If you have a source where I can try my hand at it again let me know.
The PS version is on the PlayStation Network but I don’t know if you can play it with a modern PS, I never owned anything beyond PS1. The PC version can be found on GOG for a few bucks.
Ps version has no music though sadly
True. Now that I think about it - maybe the missing music contributed to the PS version being more relaxing for me than the PC version…
Insert Rollercoaster Tycoon theme here
Way too many people like these here for you to be lonely.

Widelands is a great Settlers-like and has become my go-to cozy game to relax with at the end of the day

Have you got a notion that youd quite like to sail the ocean?
Eidle, eidle eee! Eidle eidle eee! We just can’t set sail 'til we get some more wood!
Civ III is a masterpiece
So hot
Traffic giant is the best game ever!
I mean the beauty is there’s probably a community or discord for that. A lot of fringe interests tend to have one brave group organizer to keep the conversation going.
