Well imo it is :p
http://shop.gameplay.co.uk/webstore/productpage.asp?productcode=DS1125&title=theme_park Theme Park for the DS \o/

Comes out in a week and a half's time, think I might see if I can trade some games in as I definitely can't afford to use money to get it.
Only thing is as I'm back home by then, me and my Mum will be fighting over who gets to play it ;D

I spent far too much of my youth playing that game on the PC :D

Excellent stuff, totally engrossed me back in that day that.

I've hardly touched the DS in months, it's going to have a shock coming to it soon now :p

It looks like a faithful recreation, which is perfect. I remember a mate and I going into town to buy it the day it came out on the Mega Drive many many years ago. It kept both of us engrossed for a long time. Definitely have to see if I can trade stuff in for this at some point :)

I've still got it on the megadrive somewhere. My mum couldn't get the hang of using DosBox to get it working on the PC so picked it up for a few quid instead. But then she missed the mouse.

I think the stylus will be perfect for the game. Even worked out what to trade in for it now :D

I've got a few PSP games I could trade in towards it, I don't play many now I've got the Mega Drive collection to work through :)

I'm getting rid of King Kong (Been meaning to for a while) and Mario Kart DS as I've hardly touched it in about 6 months and could get a copy for the supercard anyhow.
Should cover most of the price I think. If not I'll find some other bits and pieces.

Man I spent hours with Theme Park on the PC. YMF has a DS, LMF has a DS Lite.

I might have to :)

It's out tomorrow :D
I'm heading back to Swansea tomorrow, dumping my stuff at the house then going into town just to get it because I want it immediately ;D
Should get it with a few traded in games np, and that's after trading in a few last week and getting Crackdown. :)

All the cool kids have the game, though it's Phantasy Star 4 for me at the mo, that game still rocks hard :cool:

I have to admit, I preferred theme hospital. Vomiting Virus and Swelled Head ftw :D

I have that :D

Me too, though haven't tried it to see if it'll work on XP yet. :)

I hear ya chicken. Me too. *waits for supercard upload*

I love Theme Hospital too, but Theme Park just had a certain charm to it that gave it more of an edge in which is better imo.
Still regularly play Theme Hospital though :) And if I had a PC that could run Theme Park easily, I'd be playing that a lot too. But that's why I'm getting it for the DS instead, much simpler. :D

It does :) Might need to use windows compatibility mode but I got it running in the past.

I have no idea what windows compatibility mode is but I know it runs on my PC :)

It must not need it then, otherwise it wouldn't be working on your PC without you fiddling :p

I'll be hunting around for my Theme Hospital CD tomorrow then, I know I've got it around somewhere, just need to find which box it's in :D

Haly

:p Tak

If you get stuck Davey, I can post you a copy of it Saturday :)
My copy of Theme Hospital is actually a mate's copy but I've not seen him in about 3 years so I think he's forgotten :p

Just had a little go on it and it's pretty hard to use on a small screen. It's a good game, just too much in a small space.

Theme Hospital was the daddy for me. Nothing came close for management games... except maybe Simcity Enhanced :D

Haly

I have it :cool:
Got back from Stafford just after 4, dumped my stuff indoors and went straight back out to make sure I got it before closing ;D

Control system takes some getting used to but I really like it. The full game (with stocks and warehouse management etc) works very close to how I remember it, just with a prettier GUI.

Agreed. Its a good port imo :)
And well worth the money.
