Anonymous says:Theme Park is a construction and management simulation game designed by Bullfrog Productions and originally released in 1994, in which the player designs and operates an amusement park.
Like most of Bullfrog's games, Theme Park is permeated by an eccentric
sense of humor.
Starting with a free plot of land in the United Kingdom and few hundred
thousand dollars, the player must build a profitable amusement park,
making money by opening rides and selling merchandise and refreshments.
The goal is to increase the park's value and available cash so that the
park can be sold and a new lot can be bought from another part of the
world and start building a new theme park. There are
simple rides like the bouncy castle and tree house, and more complicated and expensive rides like the roller coaster and the Ferris wheel. There are over thirty attractions available in the game, newer products can be bought after researching them. Once enough money has been made the player can move on to other plots. Plots are located all over the world and have many different factors that affect gameplay, including the economy, weather, terrain and land value.
There is a focus in the staff side of the park as well. People employed
in the park include entertainers, security guards, mechanics, and
cleaners. Lack of staff can cause problems, including messy parks, blown
up rides, crime and sad visitors. Occasionally wages must be
renegotiated; failure to renegotiate results in staff strikes. Theme
Park offers several levels of simulation, with higher difficulties
requiring more management of aspects such as logistics.
Theme Hospital is Bullfrog's thematic successor to the game.
