A totally silly game called Roller Coaster Tycoon. You build and manage an amusement park. You can even build your own roller coaster. Much cuter than the Sim games, and a heck of a lot easier. our whole family has been playing for two or three weeks solid.

The Sims. Very cute game. Which is what I'm madly obsessed with right now. Before that was Monopoly on Sega, SimTower, Slingo, and other games I become obsessed with for awhile and later get sick of.
