Theme Hospital vs Zoo Tycoon
Theme Hospital
Theme Hospital is a timeless and fun simulation game where you - obviously - manage a virtual hospital of your own. Turn the failing hospital around and help the sick that came to your hospital for aid as much as you help line your own pockets. As you might expect, the game also has plenty of the hospital drama that you might have seen in TV shows - the rush of a last-minute save or that nasty gossip floating around about the doctor and his nurses; some of which are depicted in the game in a rather humorous way. There are even some really funny diseases and diagnosis in this game.So, do you think you'll be able to make use of what resources you start off with and make your way up the pyramid that is the health care industry? If so, you simply must check out Theme Hospital. It may be an old game - old enough to be classified as an "abandonware" but it's still as golden as ever - The very epitome of what it means to be a hospital simulation game!
Zoo Tycoon
Zoo Tycoon is a zoo simulation game where you can build and decorate your very own virtual zoo and fill it with a wide variety of common and exotic animals, be it a herbivore, an omnivore or a carnivore. You'll also need to provide these animals with the proper enclosure, hire zookeepers to tend to their needs, and build facilities for the zoo's visitors so they'd have a great time there, and hence, spend more cash. There are plenty of ways for you to really customize your zoo, from the paths you build and the benches you place. You can even control how much to charge your visitors... this is after all, a real tycoon game.If you adore animals of all shapes and sizes, and you happen to enjoy playing tycoon games, you'll want to take a look at Zoo Tycoon. The game's not THAT old yet so its graphics is still pretty bearable, but if you got the Xbox version, you'll be super delighted at the visual upgrade that Microsoft has added to the game.
