The first kind of builder game i have ever played. Certainly not the most complex title within the genre but a fun little experience nonetheless. Still own the original disc and from what i have seen it runs just fine.

I remember playing a demo version of this game in my childhood. I never had the full version. Unfortunatly the game cannot be found anywhere to purchase today. It's similar to Sim City 2000, but instead of building a city you create a little holiday paradise on a tropical island.

I absolutly love this game, someone did make a re-make, but nothing compares to the game play and music of this game. It'd be amazing to have this back again! Gotta love nostalgia.

This is a classic. As one of the early building games, it is a bit rough around the edges, but you can feel how much love the developers poured into this game. I hope everyone will have the chance to play this nostalgic gem.
Such fond memories of playing this back in the mid 90s on my 486. I was already a fan of SimCity 2000 at that point and Holiday Island scratched a similar itch for me. Would love to see this getting properly updated to modern-day standards.

I just loved this game, just an easy going but engaging game for anyone who likes city builders, theme park, theme hospital etc. Please get this game on GOG! :)
Super gra, muzyka i cała atmosfera. Przypominają się stare czasy i lepsze bez zmartwień;-) What a great game and brings back a full load of childhood memories with less worries. Just the soundtrack puts you in a Holiday mood and you feel like being transported somewhere to the Caribbean

Worms
WormsWorms combines the best elements from the very best games ever created. It requires great thought, strategy and elements of sheer outrageous fortune. It provides the players with an almost infinite range of playing possibilities. It does take a little while to get into the swing of things however and despite everyone’s insistence that you should not need to read a game manual to be able to play it. Worms can be played by 1-16 players at the same time - it’s a turn based game so you`ll only need one machine - but prepare to be at odds with your loved ones, get ready to shout abuse at your best friend and be willing to exact unadulterated terror on those who plot to hurt your worms. Team17 planned on producing Worms for the Virtual Boy back in 1995. Though, after a few weeks, they cancelled this plan due to the lack of interest of the publisher and the expected failure of the Virtual Boy.
