DinoPark Tycoon (DOS)

22 Apr DinoPark Tycoon (DOS)

This week we dive back into the 90s childhood of Apple II games, among the Oregon Trail’s and Number/Word Munchers, you might have played a business sim called DinoPark Tycoon. This very early theme park managing game taught children the value of income and expense as well as the inevitable failure of owning your own business. Were we better at this game as kids? Why the hell is it so difficult? Are we in an alternate universe where dinosaurs enslave dinosaurs and there was a T. Rex president? We cover it all in this episode with Tom, Grace, Frank and Chris.

Congratulations to Frank for winning the ETERNAL REWARD:
