I know I contributed initially to the game in general, then I shifted focus to creating several of the mini-games that could be played by visiting the stalls. I&#8217;d probably have to get a copy to trigger my memory. This is probably the last game I worked on as a &#8216;programmer&#8217; for Climax. I think after this I focussed more on reviewing business activities, such as reviewing the potential for something called &#8216;Unreal Engine&#8217;, debunking studios during site visits, and determining it would be a really bad idea to try to port the Microsoft Flight Simulator code to the consoles of the time. (I was later proven right!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The game was developed because Bullfrog wanted to bring the original Theme Park up-to-date.
