Other Games Like Prison Architect?

[Mendacious Calamity]

I can personally recommend:

Theme Park
Rollercoaster Tycoon series
Railroad Tycoon series
Tropico series
Dwarf Fortress
Dungeon Keeper series
Evil Genius
Startopia

These are all excellent games similar in their 'building and managing' natures to Prison Architect. Have played them all, recommend each one on it's own merits. Evil Genius in particular is fantastic - design and build the underground lair of an Evil Genius, and defend against attacks from enemy intelligence agencies.

Enjoy!


(This thread exists because a certain other user created and deleted his version of the question over and over again despite numerous helpful answers from the community because he mistakenly thought I was attacking him. That's why that user is quoted throughout this thread despite him having deleted his posts like he deleted his thread. Please do not reply to his posts, lets keep this thread on the topic of awesome 'building and managing' games.)

Because you were launching personal attacks at me, i had to delete the thread because you were derailing it and insulting me

Nope, the first time I suggested you try google. Then I suggested you search the forum, and came up with a thread that already exists. Then I listed all the games in that thread, plus a couple more.

You deleted over and over again for no reason. Never mind, have started a more helpful thread of my own. :)

We both know I'm not. Darak knows I'm not. Spec, stop derailing this thread please.

[Darak]

I was there, watched it all, saw it all, can confirm what happened :/ if you don't like the suggestions, just say so, maybe someone knows of others. Personally I love anything Tycoon, Evil Genius, and most games with 'sim' in the name.

[Mendacious Calamity]

I'm not encouraging anything. Guys, don't abuse Spec please, this thread is for discussion of games like Prison Architect.

Spec, stop derailing this thread please.

Thanks for Evil genius, I took a gander and that looks fun. I also heard Tropico was alright.

Tropico is great, but I find in the long term it gets a bit samey. But it takes a long time to get to that point, I've poured days at a time into building my little banana republic before getting bored :D

Sim City 4 is also a fantastic game, and it just got properly re-released for Macs too. Been a long time coming, that!

You mentioned my name in your OP, that's against the steam forum rules, just remove it if you want your own thread.

Oh, is it? My mistake. Can you post the rule that says I can't mention someone in my OP?

It's just that mentioned me a couple of times when you reposted your thread...

EDIT: Fixed. You're not mentioned in my thread except where you keep arriving to derail it.

Yeah, I got my eye on Tropico. They look like they like to milk dlcs though. Prob won't buy untill sale so I can get all the content cheap.

I haven't played Sim city 4. I have it on my list to buy games though. I remember playing one of the super old sim city games in like the 90's.

I found Sim CIty 4 disc again the other day, should totally stream that some time, I miss Sim City :( Haven't got into Tropico yet. Picked up Tropico...4? in the humble bundle, was too tired to really dig into it, and haven't got back around to it.

SC4 pretty much nailed it. I spent aaaaages getting a legit Windows copy working on my Mac the month before Aspyr re--released it properly on the Mac, don't regret it though. It had proper multi-region systems way before SC5 came along and forced us all to play online. Also, the regions in SC4 are HUGE, you can build actual cities in each one, not just tiny towns...

I want to love that game but it turns out I just don't have the patience to learn it and build up my buisness the way you're meant to.
