    Steam has a 4X sale going on now and the latest Theme Hospital spiritual successor made two spinoffs.

    They made a sequel to Evil Genius in 2021.

    Whatever interests from the late 20th century you think only you had are almost certainly disappointingly mainstream now.

    But hey, keep at it. I’m still holding out hope for EA pulling off a Dungeon Keeper sequel at some point even if it’s a PR stunt.

      You’ll want to check out “Dungeons”. I recently played Dungeons 3 and it is basically an improved dungeon keeper except you can go into the overworld too.

        I played them all. They’re not the same.

        I’d say that Evil Genius sequel is the closest we’ve had, honestly.

    Oh I love it, but my ultimate favorite is the 1988 DOS gama Life & Death where you had to cirurgically remove the appendix (and there was also brain operation). The graphics were shit of course but the amount of steps on each operation was awesome. You have to cut each layer of skin, remove the apendix, suture each layer back not leting the patient bleed of die. Amazing

    Edit: You can play online https://www.myabandonware.com/game/life-death-h6

    PLEASE if you are a game designer remaster it!

      I played “The Surgeon”. I think it was on Amiga. I had a perfect record. Not one of my patients survived.

      I believe you had to put in an aortic graft. I got to that part a few times before they died.

      Holy crap, I had this game and never once successfully completed a surgery. Everyone died.

      I was still in elementary school, so it was still fun to goof around.

    I love Theme Hospital! I played the crap out of the PS version back then. I miss this type of wholesome humor in games.

    A handsome young cyborg named Ace
    Woo’d women at every base
    But when ladies glanced at
    His special enhancement
    They vanished with nary a trace

    Widelands is a great Settlers-like and has become my go-to cozy game to relax with at the end of the day
