Check out both:

Game Dev Story

Hot Springs Story

INSANELY addictive, if you're into that sort of game.

They're from a japanese company called Kairosoft, who look to have about another TWENTY similar "Sim" style games that just need translating into English and they'll be on the App Store too.

Game Dev Story has just been ported to Android. Apologies, should've mentioned this originally.

Not to put too finer point on it, but why would I want to play a 'work simulation' game when I do the real fecking thing evry week day

If you work in Console Game Development, then fair enough! They are incredibly addictive and fun, trust me.

Software development, including iPhone and Andriod now. Sorry couldn't resit the comment, but it looks way too involved for an iphone app, possibly better suited to iPad or tablet. Still if you enjoy it play it as they say

You might actually genuinely like it if you're in Software Development, it has a fairly subtle satire on the history of consoles etc. Have a look at a review, they're all pretty glowing.

i played Theme Hospital so much that i once woke up choking and gasping for air. my partner, rather alarmed, asked what was the matter. i truly believed i was telling the truth when i said "i've just swallowed a hospital".

It doesn't seem to like going to landscape mode on Android. However I could see this getting horribly addictive.
