Nice. Killing time is what will keep us sane (or non-insane).

Some nice games in there. I could play Sim Farm for years if no one stops me.

I just spent £1.19 on Theme Park from good old games. I was going to buy Dungeon Keeper 1&2 and Theme Hospital for the same price but when I went to pay apparently I already owned them.

I hope I'm somewhat making up for trying to wipe out humanity on Pandemic 2 a couple of weeks ago by healing the world 1 bloaty head at a time in my hospital.

And actually, more likely to please, Internet Arcade. Shed loads of arcade games you can play in your browser.

If you already own Theme Hospital, I recommend you to check out CorsixTH, an open-source development/continuation of the original game.

Another game "missing", a British classic:


Can probably be found elsewhere or you could download GENS, the Mega Drive emulator.
