Always preferred Theme Hospital (bloaty head!) but good memories of making all my customers sick outside the rollercoaster and hiring an army of janitors to clean it up!
I remember playing this game (using this app :man: ). When did it come out?

The only title I can recall playing on the Jaguar was The Bruce Lee Story. Admittedly I was probably too busy making my own music videos with Kriss Kross and C&C on the Mega CD :smile:

Always wanted that game for my Jaguar. Still have my Jaguar, but still haven't got AvP!
I don't think I could justify the price now.

Seems like yesterday, this was sold out everywhere but had a ridiculous price tag. Atari killer in my opinion, though it was supposed to be their comeback console to defeat all others, how that worked out we all know. PlayStation user all the way for 20 years rolling.

Great game Theme Park btw, I remember paying it for days on my Amiga, sadly my pc's inbuilt graphics now won't play the game. Seems ironic.

Plenty of nostalgia here, though in fairness Theme Hospital was the better 'Theme' game (as you'd expect with it coming out later) and Rollercoaster Tycoon was a notably better theme park sim. This is plenty cheap for the nostalgia, but I'd rather actually play either of those two.

I was one of the idiots that purchased a Jaguar. I had the Alien vs predator game, wild times.

I played this last year after feeling very nostalgic, believe me it (obviously) hasn't aged well. Don't expect the feels like you did in the 90's.
