Product Description

The Electronic Arts Top Ten Family Fun Pack features 10 of the best family-friendly games from EA.

SimAntSimAnt puts you directly in charge of an ant colony out to conquer a suburban backyard. By directly controlling one ant and manipulating ant caste and behavior, you can help your ant colony overcome insect and human obstacles and lead your fellow ants to victory--invasion of the human's house.

Theme ParkThink you can design and build the greatest amusement park in the world? You select the site and lay out the rides. In fact, you control every aspect of running a profitable amusement park.

Marble DropMarble Drop is a fiendishly fun puzzle game that'll send your mind on twists, turns, spirals, and swings. In Marble Drop, you devise the smartest way to get your colored marbles into their correct bins. Outsmart each puzzle and wrap your mind around an ever-more-challenging kinetic contraption.

Power PokerPower Poker is easy to play, making it ideal for a quick, casual hand of poker. But if you want to hone your skills to a professional level, Power Poker is your ace in the hole.

SimLifeSimLife is an advanced biological simulation that allows you to design plants and animals from the genetic level to influence how they look, act, and eventually evolve. Test your creations' adaptive abilities by turning their environment into either a paradise where life is easy or a wasteland where only the strongest survive. Play with genetics, food webs, mutation, extinction, and natural disasters to witness the effects on the gene pool, the ecosystem, and life itself.

Theme HospitalFrom the creators of Theme Park comes the most unrealistic and humorous hospital sim ever! Complex, realistic AI, detailed SVGA graphics, and wacky bullfrog humor abound.

SimEarthIn SimEarth, you manipulate atmospheric, geologic, climatic, and life processes while watching your planet evolve. As you advance in skill, you can design, modify, manage, and nurture a planet. Create and form the oceans to your specifications. When life first appears, you are there to watch and help it evolve in its development of intelligence and technology. Be the guiding hand of this new technology as civilization extends itself into the universe in search of new homes.

SimCity 2000 The ultimate city simulator and more. Now you can design, build, and customize any city you can imagine, and SimCity 2000 will bring it--and its resident Sims--to life. If this game were any more realistic, it'd be illegal to turn it off.

SimSafariSimSafari brings Africa to you! Imagine yourself in rugged bush country, peering through binoculars at vast herds of elephants, zebras, and lions. Choose from exotic plants and wildlife to create your own safari park. Build a flourishing safari camp, keep your eye on the budget, and run a successful camp business. Learn about Africa's endangered and fiercest animals.

Extreme Pinball By offering four distinct contemporary tables complete with video boards, Extreme Pinball allows you to take the arcade home with you. The gameplay is impressive, the graphics are fantastic, and the experience is authentic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for the money, August 13, 2001
This review is from: Electronic Arts Top Ten Family Fun Pack (CD-ROM)
This box came with several games on seperate disks, so you choose if you want to install one or all of them. The games I liked were, Theme Hospital and Sim Safari. The rest of them you could take or leave. But for the price, it was worth it just for the two games alone. Sim Theme Park never did work, or I couldnt figure it out, but it didnt look good enough to worry about anyhow, especially after playing Roller Coaster Tycoon. Sim Life, Sim Earth, Pinball and Marbles just collect dust.

Theme Hospital is a great game with hours of enjoyment, great graphics, and humourous diseases like The Squits, which sends the patient to the bathroom alot, and Sim Safari is really cool where you set up a Wild Life Safari and a camp, by hiring locals from the village. As long as you do good, the village thrives. Its alot of fun. I rate this four stars only because the rest of the games sucked, but thats just IMHO.

4.0 out of 5 stars Many hours of fun!, June 1, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Electronic Arts Top Ten Family Fun Pack (CD-ROM)
My 13-year-old daughter LOVES the SIM City game. We had to get the older version which comes in this 10-pack, because her computer was not large enough (RAM) for the newer version. I caution against loading all the games at once, since they take a lot of space. However, in terms of fun, educational value and intellectual challenge, the games are fantastic.

She really has not gotten much past SIM city. She looked at the Ants game briefly and thought it was a little weak.

She's learned a bit about the economics and ecological balance needed to operate a city and has had fun destroying a city or two with the floods and other natural disasters you can create. It would probably really appeal to boys for that reason. It satisfies the need for bashing things up with out being violent. I enjoy watching her build things and listening to her explain how it all works together. It's surprisingly realistic.

This review is from: Electronic Arts Top Ten Family Fun Pack (CD-ROM)
I bought this pack mainly for Theme Hospital - which I have now played to death and figure I got my money's worth with just that one game.

SimCity 2K - an old classic. I haven't loaded this on my new machine because SC3K is so much superior. But if you have no Sim City games, you'll get a kick out of SC2K.

SimAnt - another one I had previously and enjoyed. Sort of a short game to play, but I thought it was fun.

SimLife - I was so excited about this one when it was new, but I couldn't ever seem to figure out how to play it properly. I tried again recently, and it's still greek to me.

SimEarth - ditto what I said for Sim Life. They look very similar to me, actually.

Theme Park - I didn't load this, I already have SimTheme Park which I think is nearly the same. Which isn't nearly as good as Hasbro's Roller Coaster Tycoon.

SimSafari - a new one to me, I've fiddled with it a little when I had time and it looks pretty promising.

Marble Drop - this one I couldn't load on my XP machine.

Extreme Pinball and Power Poker - I haven't even bothered to try loading these two...I have a bazillion pinball and card games already so I just tossed these aside.
