I wondered lots of times why I prefer "simulation" games, the kind of games where you have to manage an activity or similar.
Surely I also like strategy ones, remakes of arcade games and other, but...

Don't know, I'm under these games spell.
Even if I am not a psychologist and even thinking I should better avoid to psychoanalyse me, I guess there could be some psychological reason behind my choices.
Maybe I'm not pleased with my life and in these games it's easier to reach the goal... easier than in real life, I mean.
Maybe this way, I find part of the satisfaction I don't find everyday...

Anyway, Diner Dash is probably the most famous game in this category.
It's the first of a long serie.

The protagonist, Flo, leaves her job in an office because she can't stand it anymore and decides to open a restaurant.
Help her to wait on customers to earn money and improve the restaurant..
Game develops into 4 different places (there's also a final surprise I don't say), every with 10 levels more and more difficult.
Here's what you have to do:

• Bring customers to one free table (every customer has a colour; if you "put" him on a chair with the same colour, you gain a bonus)
• Wait until they read the menu and take the order
• Bring it to the cook and wait until food is ready
• Give the food to customers and wait until they eat
• Bring them the bill
• Clean the table and bring the dirty dishes in the proper trolley

Easy, don't you think?
Well, not really. There are different kind of customer, someone is very impatient and the less they'll be pleased with your service, the less you'll earn.
Obviously there's a minimum goal to reach, that's necessary to pass the level and it's not always so easy to earn enough money!

A fun and nice game, sometimes hard, where you need a good measure of concentration and speed.
You'll love it!

The only advice I can give you to win is to rely on chained actions.
If, for example, you take two or more orders at once, you'll earn more.
Even customer satisfaction is important, but sometimes it's not enough to reach the goal.

"Survival" is also a nice game mode: how long will you be able to wait on your customers?
