Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 is worth any negative social impact it has on my life.

    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.

    Am I crazy, or wasn't one of the original selling points that you could use a touchscreen to control it?

    The Nintendo DS was three years away. The iPhone was six years away (yes, Nintendo did it first and people often don't remember that).

    My recollection of following the absolutely ridiculous hype cycle is that they were talking about the mouse being your hand inside the game and pretty much nothing else, but it was remarkable prescient in terms of how that would work without the mouse on the way.

    I liked it too but was never good at it as a kid though I imagine I'd kill it as an adult.

    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.

    It's absolutely goofy. Honestly it plays almost identically to Theme Hospital. I played both around the same time and I can't remember what was from which game now

    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

    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

    Edit: You can play online https://www.myabandonware.com/game/life-death-h6

    PLEASE if you are a game designer remaster it!

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

    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.
