County Fair Review
There’s at least one county fair in every state in the US and each one has your typical rides, food stands, funhouses, haunted houses, and much, much more. In the Mac game County Fair is your chance to create your own ideal fair and make a profit running it.
Russ Pendleton’s last wish is to see his county fair business thrive, prosper, and make people happy. You are his only known relative who can make this happen in the Mac game County Fair. You will be provided funds from Uncle Russ, and will be assisted by Randal who knows how to run a fair. You need $3,000 to start so you can pay bills. The goals are on the right side of the screen, and the calendar lets you know how long the fair will run and you are off and running. You need to buy your rides (small, medium and large), and you need mechanics to build and maintain the rides. Then there are tabs along the top of the screen to switch from buying rides to hiring employees, food stands and advertising. You need the discount coupons, newspapers, TV ads to attract your guests to your county fair.
If all this is not enough for you, you get constant announcements that the health inspector will be out, the guests are unhappy with the cleanliness or lack of it, there is a security problem at the gate, and the worst one is that you do not have enough power for the rides and you cannot pay for more. When you get such an announcement, you must act quickly by clicking the red alerts to take care of the problem or adjust your needs such as more security officers, less medical staff and always more sanitation workers to alleviate any discomfort or violation at the fair.
All these problems and profits are beautifully graphed and outlined for you in the accounting section. You can quickly access how much you are making and how much you are spending. This game covers everything including awards and prizes you are winning for hiring 10, 20 people and other such winnings. This sim game is so realistic you get stressed out trying to figure out how to keep the fair afloat without going under. Don’t forget to raise your entrance fees for the most cost effective way to raise more funds. With practice and good math you can turn a profit and keep your guests happy with wonderful rides, delicious foods, clean environment, and a safe county fair.
County Fair is very challenging, but well worth the effort you have to put in to learn how to run a successful business. This is your traditional sim time management game in the lines of Roller Coaster Tycoon. Once the rides, food stands, shows and employees are in order and working harmoniously, you see your fair running like a fine tuned machine and your enjoyment and pleasure begins. Work hard and make Uncle Russ happy with his fantastic county fairs.

-Rides and Attractions

King’s Smith Review
King’s Smith is a Mac sim time management game about Anya who wants to be the first female blacksmith. Her grandfather consents to teaching her all the tricks of the trade.
This game is simple and straightforward to pick up the play easily. As the blacksmith you must buy rusty, old equipment from the vendor 
in the wagon. He will offer many types of wares at different prices. You will be able to tell whether the price is good or not by the thumbs up and down. You don’t need to worry if you turn down a price, another wagon will soon come along. After you buy from the vendor, you place your rusty part on a stone platform or put it in your workplace. If you place it on the stone, it will produce revenue for you. If you 
place it in the smithy (the building with the outdoor fireplace), a worker will leave the home and work on your piece. Once completed, you hang your ware either back on the stone platform or to sell at the bottom right. People will come look at your goods and offer money for them. If you like the offer, you can accept payment, but if you turn down an offer, they may come back with a higher price. You will be able to determine if a price is good or not by the thumbs.
Like other sim games, the stats are all on the bottom and you will get audio confirmation for many actions taking place. As the play progresses, more wares will be offered for you to refinish and sell. In addition, you will need to buy raw materials (often goes on sale) and build more buildings (need blueprints) to expand your business. It can get quite busy as you go along, but with a shop with many 
upgrades, your work will not hinder you. Once you meet your goals (top left), you go on to the next level. There are more options to choose from like gold swords, more buildings to erect and employees to hire.
I really enjoyed playing this Mac sim game where you can haggle with your vendors and clients for a better price and building your blacksmith business. It was easy to learn and play. The game started off a little slow but once you got into it, it’s very addictive. The cartoon characters and background were entertaining and the music appropriate to the time period. Try being a blacksmith who can be cost effective and take over the entire business for the kingdom.
Features of King’s Smith:
-Haggle with Vendors and Clients
-Sim Time Management
-Blacksmith for the King

Chloe’s Dream Resort Review
Get your trigger fingers ready because you will be busy creating the best resorts ever in Mac sim time management game Chloe’s Dream Resort. There will be plenty of activities, services and upgrades to make your game enjoyable.
Chloe is a young, hardworking woman in need of a life change. She goes to work each day from 9 to 5 in a small cubicle in a large corporation reporting to her supervisor day in and day out. She is so exhausted she falls asleep at her desk. In her sleep she dreams about Maya, also young and hardworking, who is running a ski resort. Unfortunately, nightmares have invaded the dreams and scared everyone away. No one can finish the sleep cycle making for a miserable life of constantly being tired. You know how horrible that is so Chloe needs to help Maya make her resorts a successful one.
Begin your game by clicking on the guests at the top left of the screen and drag them to their desired needs. You’ll see it in a bubble over their heads. He/she may want to check in so click on the person and drag the guest to the door of the room. When someone has checked into a room a sign will be over the doorknob so you do not put another guest in the same room. The guest will indicate what activity he/she wants to participate in or what beverage or food he/she may want to eat. You drag the guest to different locations and it is up to Chloe to bring food, drinks, newspapers, turn the switch on for the ski lifts, heat up the hot tubs and more. Maya will stay put but will prepare the foods and drinks so when a guest requests soup, click on the food, wait for Maya to prepare it, click on the bowl when it is ready, and then click on the guest.
If that’s all you have to do, it would be boring and not very exciting, but as you know with most time management games, you’ll be getting much, much more. Remember, 
this is a dream disrupted by nightmares and there are plenty to cause havoc in your game. Nightmares like the snow monster, chain smoking frog will pop up and it’s your job is to keep them at bay by clicking on them. Another problem is when your guests get too cold, they turn into snowmen, funny but does not make your guests happy. The hearts on the guests show their patience level. If they are unhappy waiting, their hearts will decrease and finally will break and you will lose a customer, but more importantly, the money they owe you will also disappear. When you see the cash register over their heads, drag them to the check out desk at the lower left at the ski resort, click on the register to pay.
The money can be used to upgrade your resort, make Chloe work faster and more. There will be mini games you can play to earn supplies to make the resort better. These games will be timed and fast like matching 2 identical items in a concentration game.
There are 5 different types of resort you must complete to get the nightmares out of your dreams with 12 levels in each resort. You can play in environments like snow, surf, dance floors and more. The scenes may be diverse but the game is basically the same in each resort with different scenery. The artwork is colorful and cute with quirky characters. Music does not match the fun and colorful people in the game. The tune is extremely slow for a time management game and can bring your play down.
This game has only one mode of play but has 2 goal levels: the regular goal is given and the expert level for faster players. It’s fairly easy to meet the expert goal level for the first few games, but it does get addictive and more difficult as you progress in the game. The game will take over 5 hours to play for the average gmer. There’s some repetition to the play but it has a lot of funny things added with the nightmares that will keep you involved in this dream. Give it a try and help all those sleepy heads in need of a good night’s rest.
Features of Chloe’s Dream Resort:
-60 Levels of Fun Time Management Play
-Quirky, Colorful Characters
-Mini Games and Challenges

Hotel Dash 2: Lost Luxuries Review
Is the world coming to an end? Flo and Mr. Big working together? Has Flo gone over to the dark side? What is happening to the wonderful world of Dinertown? Hotel Dash 2: Lost Luxuries will take you to a whole new dimension in this fun, time management game series you have learned to love.
If you’ve never played a Dash game, where have you been? This one is the second in a series of hotel time management games. The annual French Fry Festival is deciding which location to have their celebration. It’s now between Dinertown and Donutville, and the competition is intense. Flo is certain Dinertown will win until she speaks to Mr. Big, her former adversary. As mayor he spent all the funds on making the best convention center ever, and there’s no money left to build new hotels to house all the festival participants. Quick thinking Flo with help from her friend, Quinn the wedding consultant, offer to restore all the rundown hotels in town.
Begin by restoring the Two Tree Hotel and providing the best service by meeting all your guests’ needs. There are 2 goals you can meet for each level. It will give you the goal and if you want to earn trophies, try for the expert goals for more points. The game is similar to the first hotel game but with some familiar 
characters. When guests arrive at your hotel either singly or in multiples, you click on the customers then drag the key to their room. Next you must click on the luggage for Flo to deliver it to the assigned room. There will be requests for room service and putting together or chaining things will gain you more points and save you or Flo time and energy. Keep an eye on the stars next to the people because you need to keep the customers happy or they will lose their hearts and patience. They will leave the hotel causing you to lose money and possibly the level. When more and more guests arrive at the hotel with more requests, you will be as busy as a bee.
At least in this game you do not have to worry about Mr. Big, remember he’s now on your side. However, the evil mayor of Donutville will be after you since he wants the festival in his town. Other obstacles may be puddles and shards you will have to clean up and sleepwalkers you will have to deal with in your job as all around working stiff. Luckily, you will get helps to make your job easier. You can upgrade rooms up to 3 times or stars. A cart will help Flo with her many chores. You can add different items to ease the workload. Some of the items are a mop, cell phone, ice bucket and more. There are more helpful devices to get Flo to move faster. There are ramps, vines, ice slides and magic carpets.
The game will keep your interest by going from one interesting hotel to another. There are the treehouse, submarine, ice palace, and sand hotel. In order to move on you must get stars to restore new parts to the hotels and put together map pieces to continue on your duties.
With 5 different types of hotels with 10 levels each this game will have you playing for hours. The artwork and lively music, as always, are good. The play is not as difficult as some of the other Dash games, and getting that Expert goal is not out of reach. This game may not challenge the hardcore time management gamers, but it is a fun game to play nonetheless. Give it a go and try your hand at hotel management. Get the French Fry Festival to be held at Dinertown!

Magic Farm: Ultimate Flower Review
Mac game Magic Farm: Ultimate Flower is not your ordinary sim time management game. It is much more than that. It is a flower growing management game with a role-playing aspect associated with it, made to accommodate novice or advanced players.
Choose your skill level from Casual or Hardcore modes and begin your journey to find Iris’ parents. The story is familiar but hey, you have to start the expedition 
somewhere. However, you don’t have enough money to go searching for them. Your old neighbor lets you use his broken down farm to grow flowers and sell them to raise enough revenue to subsidize your trips and hire a detective.
Anyone coming up to you in the foreground of the screen wants to speak to you. Just click on them to see what they have to say. Your initial farm is the old neighbor’s and you can grow different types of flowers. You plant the flowers and wait for it to grow. Click on the flower and it will go into your harvest basket. If you see drops of water, the plants need watering so click on it and watering cans will appear and water your plants. You’ll also need to buy water before the start of a new day. In addition to keeping your flower plants healthy, you must fight off bugs and later monsters to keep them away. Sometimes the bugs will leave extra bonuses around. Click on them to collect. They can be from a drop or more of water, a crown trophy and more. Once you harvest your flowers, click on the basket to either sell individually or make the blossoms into bouquets to sell for more money.
Your quests are listed in a little scroll next to Iris’ picture in the upper left corner. Keeping with the RPG game part of it, you will need to gain experience to 
increase your skills in farming, pest control, trading and watering. Also there is a trophy room to place all your hard earned achievements in your cozy living room. Later in the game Robin the dragon will help you out.
Magic Farm: Ultimate Flower is a sequel so if you didn’t play the first, this second one is similar with a few new plants so playing either game is good. This game 
has a lot going for it and even though it’s a bit of a hybrid, the 2 plays are fun to do. The artwork is good and the music lively. One downside of this game is when you travel to different farms, you lose all your goods and must start over again. Help Iris find her parents and enjoy this sim/rpg game.
Features of Magic Farm: Ultimate Flower:
-Great Sim and RPG Game
-Grow Beautiful Flowers, Make Bouquets
-Good Artwork and Music
