I remember the trick was finding all the visitors who were unhappy, picking them up, and dropping them in the lake to die. That was the best way to get your happiness rating up quickly.

Do you remember... THEME HOSPITAL ? OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!
Pretty sure this will blow Super Mario Run out of the water... as I'm sure it's intended to do.
I literally just bought this on Steam a month ago XD
I guess I'll have to redo everything on my phone now!

Is Castle Siege suppose to be "Castles: Siege and Conquest" from the early 90's?
I love that game.

IDK about that, the NES Classic Edition graphics are really dated, but the games are not.
Some people, like myself, really like classic games.
No, I meant Age of Empires: Castle Siege for iOS. It's basically another Clash of Clans copy.
We have super high resolution and pixel dense displays. Not upgrading the graphics is a mistake. It looks really poor on modern displays.
I like classic games too, but they looked a lot better when the displays we played them on matched the resolution of the games.
Woohoo! I've been waiting for this for ages! Unfortunately, that means days that would otherwise be productive will be lost in an imaginary amusement park....
Okay ... I just went to buy this and notice that there's a Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 by Frontier, based on the original PC game, that's only $2.99 with no IAPs. There's also Rollercoaster Tycoon 4 that was just released today by Atari, and it's filled with IAPs. I had to search a little harder for the Classic Atari version. I didn't realize there were so many versions already out there for iOS!

If I'm looking at the right thing, this is a game for Windows desktops, not an iOS app. It is also $45 vs. $6.
I appreciate your pointing it out, as it looks great, but it is not really a substitute for this.
I LOVED Theme Park. They screwed it up massively when they made a new iOS version and tried to make it Clash of Clans style with micro transactions and week long waiting time.
Just let me pay for a full game for once and stop forcing 'gems' and other ****** payments on me
Ooh, bring it to ATV now please?

YEEEES! AOE 2 is still, in my humble opinion, the finest gameplay ever in an RTS.
they did upgrade the graphics and called it Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, and it ruined the game. The original Roller Coaster Tycoon and Roller Coaster Tycoon are still the best. I am so happy this is now on iOS and a very unexpected Christmas gift to myself.
Well, I've tried it out and it's certainly the RCT of my younger days, complete with pixelated graphics and all the original scenarios. The controls are okay; laying paths and building rides is a bit more tedious than with the original game.
I also checked out RCT 3 on the App Store. That's apparently made by Chris Sawyer and has a revamped interface specifically for iOS and updated graphics. I guess the nostalgic part of me likes "Classic", but the gamer part of me prefers RCT 3.

ive been waiting for this day for so long. i love playing transport tycoon on my ipad and since RCT uses the same engine i always wondered why it had not yet been ported. My battery cycle count is about to sky rocket i think.
So glad its not this mobile version crap. Full game port

Chris Sawyer wrote the original game in machine code to squeeze every ounce of performance out of the hardware of the time... machine code scares the crap out of me -- talk about a labor of love.
Um... their reply didn't seem like a downer at all. They respectfully pointed out that wasn't what they were looking for, and then said "thank you for pointing it out." Also, maybe you should stop being a debbie downer about the existence and prices of mobile games.

Holy cow, really?? There's some trivia I didn't know I needed in my life till just now.
This is a merging of SimTower and Yoot Tower, its sequel. Not sure if it's what you're after. It's got support for English and Japanese.

I would wait for another release. I downloaded and played for about 20 minutes. When the game went to assess my goals and progress, it starting crashing. Each time I try to open the app, it crashes. Ive done all the ideas, close app, force close app, delete and reinstall, all of it, and it continues to crash.
Instant purchase!
And I just found my original discs from 1999. They still run on Win 10 x64. Special thanks to the MS Engineers who stayed late to make that happen!
