Gameplay

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.

3 / 5

Level Design

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

5 / 5

Theme

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

4 / 5

Art Style

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

2 / 5

Audio

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

Hey gamers. I first published this blog in July 2024. That initial release included my thoughts about every game that was released in North America during the 16-bit era.  At the time I was underway with the second, and final, phase of this project - to play and review every 16-bit title playable by an English speaker, regardless of region. As of right now, that goal has been reached. What lies before you is a heap of reviews for every game I could play on the following consoles: Super Nintendo/Super Famicom (1204 total) North America (716) Japan (450) Europe/PAL (38)  Sega Genesis/Mega Drive (849) North America (704) Japan (94) Europe/PAL (51) Sega CD/Mega Drive CD (158) North America (141) Japan (12) Europe/PAL (5) TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine (255) North America (95) Japan (160) TurboGrafx-16 CD/PC Engine CD (163) North America (44) Japan (119) ...

Super Hydlide for Genesis

Review #4565 Super Hydlide Easily the worst game of the 16 bit era Genesis 1990 Seismic Adventure Adventure › Overhead X 2 / 100 You've been warned Screenshot used for review/reference purposes. 0 / 5 Gameplay Zelda clone... in theory. Includes an unbelievably annoying weight system, limiting both what you can carry and what your character can use as a weapon. If you’re overloaded, you are unable to move. After buying a few things at the weapons shop I thought the game was broken. I had to Google it and read about this weight mechanic. So stupid. It makes the game nigh unplayable. Even with a minimal inventory of a knife, a helm, and two food rations I could barely walk. The game has a clock and calendar and it took me 12 game hours to walk from the Shop to the exit to attempt combat. By that...

Chrono Trigger for SNES

Review #109 Chrono Trigger Only by mastering time itself do you stand a chance against Lavos. SNES 1995 Square RPG RPG › Japanese A 100 / 100 Classic Screenshot used for review/reference purposes. 5 / 5 Gameplay Battle system is special. There's an optional Active Battle System and an innovative Single and Team techniques system. No grinding necessary. An assortment of sidequests and minigames like the actions you take at the Millennial Fair which influence how the trial plays out. One thing that I greatly appreciate is that you are never alone in a one-character party. You are joined by 3 other playable characters within the first hour of play. Being able to switch your party members on the fly is also a welcome quality of life feature. No random battles. The Game+ feature! What an awes...
