Play Theme Park on Snes Online

Theme Park came out on the Super Nintendo in 1994, a port of the Bullfrog PC game that let you run your own amusement park. It was part of that wave of management sims that felt different from the usual platformers and RPGs on the system, offering a slower, more thoughtful kind of challenge.

You control everything from the top down, starting with an empty plot of land. You place rides, set ticket prices, hire staff, and even tweak the ingredients in your food stalls to maximize profit. The main goal is to build a successful, profitable park that keeps guests happy and your finances in the black. Key mechanics include researching new, more advanced attractions and managing the happiness and pay of your janitors and mechanics to prevent strikes. The pacing is deliberate, sometimes punishing if you expand too quickly or neglect your upkeep. It feels like a genuine test of your planning and patience, watching your little park grow from nothing into a bustling destination.
