Theme Park for MD CD PAL


Image: MobyGames

Theme Park

My kids play this in Roblox


Genre: strategy - rts

Publisher: Domark

Year: 1995

System: MD CD PAL


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Controls work well despite using a controller. Camera pans when your cursor approaches edge of screen. Placing attractions and whatnot is imprecise due to the isometric perspective but it's manageable. Everything moves fast and frantic. It's like a fast moving SimCity. Build attractions, connect them with walkways and queues, and monitor key indicators which show how successful your design is. Fun One point off for the annoying Loading screens and bloat that comes with it being a CD game.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

I quickly reached a point where I was watching rather than building. I didn't get past the first level but I imagine there are lots of scenarios to deal with. I could see it getting old tho. Not sure how to keep this fresh and engaging. The thought of starting over doesn't sound appealing. I would probably rather tweak the same place


Theme Score: 5

Theme Notes:

Adorable aesthetic User generated content was a novel idea back in the 90s. Love the idea


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Again adorable. Sprites run around and everything animates. Lovely use of color.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

Music is cute but unbearably repetitive. I muted it after a couple of minutes


Overall Score: 62

Review ID: 12704
