Howrse vs Tropico 3
Howrse
Howrse is a text-and-graphics-based horse game by Ubisoft. The game has been on the internet since 2005 and is still going strong despite the emergence of graphically better horse games like Star Stable, Horse Haven Adventures and others. Unlike other horse games, Howrse focuses more on the management aspect of owning a horse ranch, requiring you to have good organization skills as you make sure your horses are all well-taken care of and trained. The game also has a competitive edge, allowing you to send your best horses out for challenging races. There are plenty of beautiful horses and ponies you can raise, as well as other fun features like horse breeding and trading too. You can even set up your own equestrian center and join up with a team so you'll have some company while playing the game.Howrse may not look like much on the outside, but once you've gotten into the game, you'll start to realize what a gem this game is. The depth of the gameplay is simply amazing for a text-based game, and of course, there's the irrefutable joy that this game has brought to horse and pony lovers worldwide for more than a decade! If it hasn't already, Howrse should definitely be deemed a horse game classic.
Tropico 3
Tropico 3 lets you assume the role of a dictator of a remote island during the Cold War. Decide the leadership path youd like to take and become a benevolent leader or a merciless one... or someone who is somewhere in between. Despite your dictatorship, there will still be elections or at least illusions of one where you can slander your opponents and make empty promises just to secure crucial votes. Regardless of the facade of it all, you will still need to take into account of the opinions of your Tropicans. This time around, you can even get involved in world politics at a time in history when the world hangs on the edge of a nuclear apocalypse, and play the superpowers against each other to maximize your advantage on the global stage.Tropico 3 is also social in the sense where you can visit other islands controlled by players and compete with other players via an online scoring system. Sounds like fun to you? Well, you can give Tropico 3 a try. It's definitely a step-up from the first two games (since they have older graphics and mechanics) and may appeal to the players of today.
