I guess theme hospital isn't so niche, but it probably among my age group (lemmy.ml)

Oh I love it, but my ultimate favorite is the 1988 DOS gama Life & Death where you had to cirurgically remove the appendix (and there was also brain operation). The graphics were shit of course but the amount of steps on each operation was awesome. You have to cut each layer of skin, remove the apendix, suture each layer back not leting the patient bleed of die. Amazing

Edit: You can play online https://www.myabandonware.com/game/life-death-h6

PLEASE if you are a game designer remaster it!

Holy crap, I had this game and never once successfully completed a surgery. Everyone died.

I was still in elementary school, so it was still fun to goof around.

Theme hospital was great

I sank so many hours into Dungeon Keeper 2. Such a good game.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 is worth any negative social impact it has on my life.

Steam has a 4X sale going on now and the latest Theme Hospital spiritual successor made two spinoffs.

They made a sequel to Evil Genius in 2021.

Whatever interests from the late 20th century you think only you had are almost certainly disappointingly mainstream now.

But hey, keep at it. I'm still holding out hope for EA pulling off a Dungeon Keeper sequel at some point even if it's a PR stunt.

My wife just picked Black & White (2001) back up. That game has held up better than I’d ever have expected.

The B&W games feel weirdly... mobile these days. They put a lot of work into that 3D hand interface and it turns out they just ended up stumbling upon a semi-competent touchscreen UX.

Am I crazy, or wasn't one of the original selling points that you could use a touchscreen to control it?

[-] Hawke@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I don’t think so. Touchscreens were not at all common in 2001.

For me it's PSOBB on emu servers

Have you got a notion that youd quite like to sail the ocean?
