I guess theme hospital isn't so niche, but it probably among my age group

- 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!
Insert Rollercoaster Tycoon theme here
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!
- 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
- 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
- I played "The Surgeon". I think it was on Amiga. I had a perfect record. Not one of my patients survived.
  I believe you had to put in an aortic graft. I got to that part a few times before they died.
Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 is worth any negative social impact it has on my life.
Civ III is a masterpiece

- Theme hospital was great
- I sank so many hours into Dungeon Keeper 2. Such a good game.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
Widelands is a great Settlers-like and has become my go-to cozy game to relax with at the end of the day
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.
- 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.

- Alpha Centauri is the true succssesor to the Civ franchise, you cannot change my mind
  
  Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you.

  It's been a while for me but I should hop back on to Ephinea to scratch the old itch
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.
Played Aerobiz (SNES) the other day and completely nerded out.
We talking Papa's pizzeria?
