The name definitely brings back some memories for those of you PC gamers in the 2000s. Yup, GameHouse is a company known for its casual games. It can be said that many of the games created by GameHouse were successful and instantly became gamer’s favorites in its heyday.
Unfortunately, due to the rapid growth of the gaming industry, slowly the popularity of casual games from GameHouse fades away. Now, as a way of reminiscing our precious memories of playing these games, Dunia Games would like to take you down the memory lane and remembering the many exciting games from GameHouse.
Well, what are those titles from GameHouse that you’ve spent some time playing them or the ones that would even still be relatable at this day and age?
1. Zuma
Who doesn’t know this legendary game? Zuma is a casual game that takes up a lot of gamer’s time to play it back then.
The gameplay is very simple, the player is required to match the color of a ball that a frog spews out until they’re able to eliminate all of the balls on the screen.
Although this puzzle game was released on December 12, 2003, it’s still fun to play it now.
2. Diner Dash Series
If you love to cook while managing a diner, Diner Dash might be your favorite game from Game House. Released on December 3, 2004, the game follows Flo, who is tasked to manage a diner, from taking orders, serving the food to the customers, to being the cashier.
As a result, you need to be keen on every customer at your diner and their orders. Your mouse-movement skill will increase dramatically after playing this game.
3. Pizza Frenzy
Do you love pizza? But how would you feel to be the guy who delivers them once in a while? Playing Pizza Frenzy might be the way for you to experience it.
In the game released in 2005, you’re tasked to deliver the pizzas ordered by the customers. Sure, it sounds easy, but as you go up the levels, a simple task such as delivering pizzas door-to-door will become more complicated.
4. Virtual Villager
Are you into life simulator themed games? Well, Virtual Villager will surely grab your attention to play it. Here, you’re going to manage people’s lives in a village. Such as building houses, looking for food, all those things to grow the village population.
5. Feeding Frenzy
Feeding Frenzy arguably shares a similar concept to the popular worm games nowadays. You play as a tiny fish as a part of the food chain in the ocean. Your job is to prey on smaller fish to grow into a humongous fish.
However, keep in mind that there will always be a bigger fish that will try to devour you at each stage.
6. Lemonade Tycoon
If you’re looking for a business thrill, you may try to play the game called Lemonade Tycoon. Yup, in this game, you’re gonna learn how to make a lemonade business.
Starting from finding the best recipe, adjusting the selling price, to choosing the location which will determine the number of potential customers.
7. Insaniquarium
While Diner Dash requires you to manage a diner, it’s a whole different thing with Insaniquarium. The game created by GameHouse will invite you to raise fish in a giant aquarium.
Not just by taking care of them as a pet, you can also fight monsters or aliens who jump in to eat your beloved fish.
8. Farm Frenzy
Next on the list, we have another game by GameHouse called Farm Frenzy. This particular game will suit you who love to do some farming. Because players are given the responsibility of taking care of a farm. The ultimate goal is to collect certain products, such as eggs, wool, milk, gold, stars, flours, and others to sell.
9. Iggle Pops
In Iggle Pops, the player will play as a furry animal with the task of protecting other furries. It is done by matching the color of the furs from each level into the same barn.
10. Nanny Mania
As the name implies, in Nanny Mania, you’ll play as a nanny in a mansion. Your job is to simply clean the house so it looks pristine.
Unfortunately, the residents of the house are a bit of slob in taking care of their house. Scattered stuff, piled up garbage, making the mansion into a giant, dirty, animal cage.

11. Fish Tycoon
Fish Tycoon has the same vibe as Insaniquarium. They both require you to take care of fish in an aquarium. However, you won’t have to deal with alien attacks. You just need to sell the fish you breed.
12. Cake Mania Series
In Cake Mania, you’ll be playing as a pastry cook. Players are required to bake cakes as the customers’ orders.
At each stage, the difficulty goes up, making it quite a challenging game.
13. Bejeweled
Bejeweled is a simple puzzle game that requires its players to match three types of gems by their colors within a limited time.
It’s quite similar to Candy Crush which was hugely popular some time ago.
14. Platypus
One of the best shooter games by GameHouse. Created by Anthony Flack, Platypus is a spaceship shooter game with a vast selection of firearms.
The storyline tells that you need to protect a country called Mungola from the attacks of the aliens, Colossatropolis.
15. Gutterball 2
It’s possible for someone to be a pro-bowler, but, how would it feel like to be a bowling ball? In Gutterball 2, you may find out how.
16. Hamsterball
You will be playing as a hamster in a ball. You’re needed to lead the hamster to the finish line within a limited time.
You can also compete with other hamsters in multiplayer mode.

You’ll be playing as Sally, who is tasked to build her career as a hairstylist in a hair salon. Sally must be able to manage the salon as well as doing other tasks, such as cutting hair, giving a cream bath, and even being the cashier. This game surely feels similar to Diner Dash yet with a different background.
18. Gearz
Gearz is another game by GameHouse that has a unique concept. Players have to match gears to get to the finish line.
19. SpongeBob SquarePants Collapse!
Despite having SpongeBob SquarePants in its title, don’t expect that this game will revolve around SpongeBob’s journey in Bikini Bottom.
This one is actually a puzzle game, where the player will need to eliminate the jellies in the arena by matching them in an order of colors. Pretty similar to Tetris in the older version.
20. Chocolatier
Last but not least, Chocolatier is a game by GameHouse that you might want to re-play for old time’s sake. In this game, you will play as a chocolatier who travels the world in your effort of collecting chocolate recipes as well as the ingredients to become the best chocolatier in the world.
