Build, optimize, prosper: the management game turns planning and economy into an addictive pleasure. RomWize re-ranks the best games in the genre by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"The Mega Drive port of Koei's Uncharted Waters, a Renaissance maritime simulation. Deep, slow, a studio classic."
"A satisfying blend of farming sim, deck-building and creature capture, with a charming tone and plenty of freedom. The genre mashup works, even if the whole thing lacks polish at times."
"The Dyna Brothers sequel, more complete and accessible. Still strange, but clearly more entertaining and better structured than the first."
"The first Ace Combat on PS1, founding the arcade aerial combat simulation genre. Varied missions, exhilarating speed sensations and intuitive gameplay. Technically dated but the starting point of a legendary franchise."
"Less a game than a soothing digital toy, where you build whimsical seaside towns by placing colorful blocks. No goals, no pressure, just the joy of building. Empty for some, meditative for others, it's a contemplative sandbox."
"Theme Hospital is Bullfrog's satirical hospital management game on PS1. Build and manage a hospital with absurd diseases and offbeat humor. Deep and accessible simulation gameplay with Bullfrog's characteristic humor. A timeless and irresistible management classic on PS1."
"Ace Combat 2 perfects the formula with more varied missions, an expanded arsenal and an even more exhilarating speed sensation. Considered one of the series' finest entries, it defined the arcade aerial combat standard on PS1."
"Trauma Team changes the Trauma Center formula by following seven doctors with different specialties in a hospital drama. Surgery, diagnosis, first response, forensics, each specialty has its own gameplay with dedicated Wiimote control. TV-series-style episodic storytelling, plot thickens steadily. Tense, educational and surprisingly moving. Atlus knows how to tell a medical story beyond scalpel simulation. Series peak."
"A dense, captivating railroad sim faithful to the Tycoon formula. Building lines, economic management and logistical operation thrill management fans."
"The Mega Drive port of Bullfrog's Theme Park, an amusement park simulation. Deep, funny, one of the console's best management games."
