It’s World Senior Citizen’s Day. But seniors aren’t old – they’re classic! And in celebration of our wonderful classic players, we’re revisiting 5 classic games that stood the test of time and are just as fun to play now as they were years ago. Let’s get started with…!
1. Build-a-Lot 2 – Town of the Year
Time Management Game – HipSoft (2008)
Build-a-Lot 2 – Town of the Year originally launched in 2008 and set a solid foundation for strategic Time Management games. Build, buy, and flip houses in this fun real estate simulator. But the fun doesn’t stop there – Construct parks, shopping areas, and even help mayors improve their towns for the better!

What GameHouse Players Said:
“Build-A-Lot 1 was good, but I’m glad for the improvements in Build-A-Lot 2. More to do to build houses, plus the oil refineries, recycle centers and playgrounds. It’s a challenge to get through all the levels at the top, but that’s what makes it fun and good for replay! If you like Time Management games, the Build-A-Lot series is something different and fun.”

2. Luxor 2 HD
Match 3 Game – Mumbo Jumbo (2006; remastered in 2013)

Play 88 spectacular levels as you work your way up from common farmhand to the throne of Egypt itself!
What GameHouse Players Said:
“I just love these games and this one lives up to the standard. While it is fast paced it also is a game I come to for taking everyday stress away. Keeps you on your toes and gets your total concentration. Hope you keep them coming — I have all the Luxor games and look forward to more. I’d recommend them to everyone. I’m a busy 70 yr old and play this game daily.”

What GameHouse Players Said:
“I found this game very interesting and fun. It requires some strategy thinking and the fact that you have more than 4 “suits” makes it even more challenging. Having the mini-games included along with the storyline makes it even more fun. It never gets boring. I would highly recommend this game.”
