Play Theme Park

Zone, tax, build a stadium and watch it burn; the city builder that defined the genre.

More scenery, a track designer and the version the community still builds in.

The 1989 original: lay down three kinds of zone, watch the traffic, then send a monster through it.

Cure Bloaty Head and Slack Tongue while the patients queue; Bullfrog's comedy management sim.

Eight galaxies, wireframe ships and free trade; the game that invented open-ended space.

Run the dungeon, slap your imps and defeat the heroes; Molyneux's reversal.

A co-driver reading pace notes ahead of the corner, and an Impreza sideways through a Corsican forest.

Geoff Crammond simulates the 1994 Formula One season down to the setup sheet and the tyre wear.
