Thread: RollerCoaster Tycoon

  1. #1

    Wink RollerCoaster Tycoon

    It's an oldie but a goodie.

    I picked this game back up this week. I haven't played it since I was a lad, but I think I'm a lot better now. I went away for 15 minutes to go study and when I came back I had earned $30,000. Of course I am using shady tactics like charging for bathrooms and jacking the prices on everything ehehehehe

    RCT is an absolute classic, one of the best games ever made without qualification.

    RollerCoaster Tycoon is my favorite! I'll never forget getting the original when I was 6 years old, all the way back in 1999. I'll have to get another copy. ^_^

    I like in that gif how they react to the train coming at them, but they're too good of guests to step off the path.

    If you wanted to be sadistic on older versions, you had to be a little tricky, like by getting your guests on a launch-coaster that's doomed to crash.

    That's a gif from RCT3. You could do similar in the first two but it was a bit less spectacular. Still hilarious though.

    Looks like RCT3 is another one to pick up and play for a while. I got the original for my birthday one year and played it for so long. I was a smurfing tycoon

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    The game had a lot of potential, but one of its best features made it fall flat. The restrictions on roller coaster building made building one of your own worthless. 95% of self made roller coasters turn out to be too scary or exciting for your guests. So all those neato plans and cool gimmicks go to waste, and you are stuck recycling the ones the game already made. Maybe it is realistic, but had they loosened those restrictions, you could have had a lot more fun with the game.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    The easy solution to that problem is to not test your rides. Then at least you get one poor group of suckers to ride your coaster and throw up/die before stats are posted on it

    It's annoying how nobody wants to ride things after a certain level of extreme-ness, though. I can understand a large number of people stepping back, but there are always going to be people who want to ride the most extreme rides D:
