Theme Hospital Classic
Best PlayStation simulation games
The Matrix has 58 simulation games on file for the PlayStation, released between 1995–2003. 16 of them support multiplayer. They're ranked below by legacy score, so the games that shaped the genre on the PS1 come first, with lesser-known picks further down.
Simulation games model a system and let you play inside it, whether that means building a city, flying a plane, raising a pet or running a business.
Typical commitment: weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours). Tip: Simulations are often open-ended. Set yourself small goals and enjoy experimenting with the systems.
