My go-to game for OCD. Also good for when my brain is malfunctioning because I can just stare at it and watch the little people have fun while I go "Ooooooh! Ohhhhh!"

I remember when this game came in a cereal box as a CD. (yes I'm /that/ old) and it was so much fun to play. I'd 100% recommend it if you want to relive your 'younger years' as a kid.

Greatest of all time. The isometric graphics are a pleasure. No park sim comes close to the simplicity and enjoyment of this classic.

I originally got this game as a prize from a cereal box like 18 years ago. Still holds up.

I like being able to arrange the park, play the same game & change it completely just by using different rides. Of course, I like winning. What I don't like is the placement of the controls. The original game had the controls all on the upper left side which worked very well. The controls from the lower right side are hard for me to decipher. I think they are a bit confusing. I can't figure out how to buy land (it was easy in the original version), and I can't figure out how to build from scratch.; so I can only go so far and have to stop.
