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!

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
