    - Chocolate Shop Frenzy
    - Chocolatier
    - Supermarket Mania
    - Hospital Havoc

    - Fruit Juice Tycoon
    - Airport Mania
    - Diner Dash
    - Daycare Nightmare

    I would say my fav is Hospital Havoc, tho I haven't tried them all
    Waiting to see your opinions especially candy's

    Here I am :) hehe

    Resturant Master is a new TM game plus Burger Island is a TM game. Oh and those Fast Food nation and A+ Burger games too. :)

    My favorite top 5 out of all of them are...

    1. Hospital Havoc just the best IMO for all the sheer amount of things you can actually do in the game. Amazing. Ray listens to the gamers and has improved the game a lot.
    2. Airport Mania a simple delight. Love it. Everything a TM should be
    3. Chocolatier is an amazing game. It's just one of those games that are a joy to play. It's deep, kept me interested and the free mode is awesome
    4. Fruit Juice Tycoon is awesome! Superb gameplay and it motivates you to keep wanting to build your empire
    5. Chocolate shop frenzy is fun to play, smooth gameplay and a challenge.

    As a pretty casual gamer (I don't usually spend more than a few minutes at a time on a game and don't like them to be too difficult), my favourites so far have been:

    Airport Mania - like Candy said, a simple delight, I played this non-stop until I finished it
    Chocolate Shop Frenzy - really beautiful looking game, very playable

    Didn't enjoy Supermarket Mania so much... Just lacks the polish of some of the others

    from the point of view of "time management" games definately not
     
  11. How about instead of picking a favorite I'll tell you which ones to avoid.

    - Chocolatier (very nice one but not a typical one...hardcore stuff)
    - Hospital Havoc (not able to que tasks, if it ever gets that I'm on board.)
    - Aroma Coffee
    - Fruit Juice Tycoon
    - Hell's Kitchen (even great tv show doesn't save this one)
    - Restaurant Master
    - Burger Island
    - Fast Food Nation
    - A+ Burger

    well favorites

    build a lot - excellent, lots to do, good interface, when are the sequels going to be ported :)

    chocolatier - nice, with story, also well ported, and again when is the sequel going to be ported

    airport mania -excellent, needed to be bigger :), hopefully will be a sequel

    sallys salon - it somehow worked, although lack of upgrades was a problem

    Hospital Havoc - never quite clicked with me, i personally hate the lack of queing

    Chocolate Shop Frenzy - was okay but lacked anything special

    Supermarket Mania - ok but the thieves were ridiculous

    Fruit Juice Tycoon - good, but the juice filling is too fiddly for me - belongs in a different game that bit, also means you have to concentrate on it always

    Sally's Spa......hmmmm thinking about getting this one

    cakemania - somehow never got into it

    Wow do I disagree with you Mrbass. Chocolatier is super fantastic, Hospital Havoc is THE best IMO. You haven't even played it? how is that fair? Fruit Juice Tycoon is also fanastic. Sounds like you don't like TM games like I don't like strategy games that much aside from the excellent Build a lot. Now THAT is a quality game.
     
  15. Not just me, my wife hated Hospital Havoc and she's more of a nut about time management games than me. She'd enter a Cake Mania competition if there ever was one she's that crazy about them. I don't tell her anything about it just let her play it to not sway her opinion one way or the other. To me if Hospital Havoc added queuing then yes I'd be all over it...until then it's not getting gameplay from me.

    BTW, I didn't say avoid Chocolatier. I said
    "Chocolatier (very nice one but not a typical one...hardcore stuff)"
    So unless your a hardcore time management fan it's probably not for you. If you are then yes get it.

    My favorite is Hospital Havoc. It is a really good twist on TM. Something completely different. And is totally replayable through its various scenarios. I have put many hours into this game.

    Followed by Airport Mania and Fruit Juice Tycoon.

    I really enjoyed the Lite version of Chocolate Shop Frenzy and it's on my potential 'buy list' for the future. Choclatier looks like something I will really enjoy so I'm keeping my eyes on it. And I've thought of getting Sally's Salon. And Build-A-Lot is a for sure (probably buy this week or next).

    Did not really care for the lite version of Supermarket Mania.

    My vote was for Supermarket Mania, very crisp graphics, good presentation easy touch controls, a good variety of scenerios. A bit on the easy side but fun enough and for a buck at the time I got it non the less. Some things like garbage was hard to pick up but wasnt too bad that it ruined it at all.

    About HH I agree with whoever said until there is a que system in place I'll pass on it.

    I just bought Airport Mania couple days ago but have not played it yet btw.

    I loved Diner Dash, but then I recently found Airport Mania and I am absolutely addicted to it. So simple, yet so fantastic...:)
