Play RollerCoaster Tycoon 2

Build a park and lay a coaster track piece by piece; Chris Sawyer wrote almost all of it in assembly.

The parks go 3D and you can ride your own coaster from the front seat, at night, with fireworks.

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

Salt the chips, water down the drinks and watch the queues; Bullfrog's management sim.

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

Regions, terraforming and a traffic simulation people still argue with.

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

Fly for the Empire; the best space combat sim, from 1994.
