My wife absolutley loves those games like Diner Dash where you have to seat, serve, and clean up after restaurant customers. Seems like every time there is a new variation on the game she downloads the demos and talks about buying one or more.
What’s a good one I can buy her for Christmas?
Is it only serve and eat or is any game that has a gradual build like that okay? Because I love Cake Mania (the original version, the second kind of sucked), Home Sweet Home, Carrie the Care Giver, Airport Mania and one about having a flower shop. I got all of them off of Yahoo! Games for about 20 dollars. There are more that I have, but I’m not on my own computer these days and those are the only ones I can think of without being able to check.
Hope that’s some help.
I got one off Yahoo games that was very similar (I bet all the ones faithfool listed use the same programing with different graphics, as does this one). It’s called Build-a-Lot, and you start with different base houses depending on what blueprints you’ve bought. Then you can upgrade with more lumber, workers, etc.
If she’s just played the demos, and doesn’t have any of them, get her Diner Dash 1. Then get Diner Dash 2 for her birthday or something. Each game is good, and has different levels and features.
Another possibility is the GameHouse club. I haven’t tried this, but you buy a membership. Each month you get charged a reduced amount, and get one game. The two month membership means two games at $8.99 each. She could pick them out herself.
OR! The cheap option is to get them free. MostFun lets you download full game versions with ads. When you start the game, you see an ad. After level 2, you see an ad. Etc. I’ve played several of these games and the ads don’t annoy me.
MostFun has Diner Dash 1 and 2; Cake Mania 1, 2, 3; Plantasia; Alice Greenfingers; etc. The only problem is, if she downloads them for free you have to find her another present!
Postariti, I love you.
Pogo and Shockwave both have a ton of them.
I’ve always been a fan of Big Fish Games. Big Fish allows you to download all of their games and play for free for an hour, at which time they want you to cough up around $7 per game or so (I’m not sure the exact rate). Time Management is the category you are looking for, there’s hundreds.
