RollerCoaster Tycoon® Deluxe

This game brings back memories from my childhood, such an epic game! I wish you guys had RCT2 on here though because it is quite a bit better!

Rollercoaster tycoon was the first sim-game I bought for the pc, way back now.... In all that time though it's been one of my favorite games ever made. Not for the graphics, though they're quite nice actually. Not for the music, though it's quite good. Not even for the dream of owning an amusement park. It's all that combined with the awesome game-play. You start out with some $/€/etc. 10.000 loan in a park, then you get to turn whatever it might have been into a booming business. Players get challenged though, especially if you don't know what you're doing. The main objective is to earn a lot of money by making your park a success: Add rides, roads, ques and scenery. Research new stuff, advertise, buy new land or at least get permission to build there. Design the tracks for several kinds of rides, not just the titular ones. Manage staff from handymen to gardeners, from entertainers in mascot-suits to security. Handle personnel and visitors with impunity, pick them up, drop them, confound them by denying an exit from the park or send them to their deaths (O_O) with a badly designed ride. All in all, RC Tycoon had all this to offer on it's own, but GOG includes the expansion packs, adding tons of extra parks, new features and improvements. Considering the price vs addiction level this is a must-buy-or-die game you shouldn't be without.

Not only does this bring back memories for most people but also this game is truly amazing! A lot of games made today take hours (I'm exaggerating) to load. This game takes merely seconds. Also who can forget the hundred if not, thousands, of small people in the game each with individual AI. This game is truly amazing!

Ah, I remember this game so fondly! The fun of planning the park, making queues, cleaning up after people, and occasionally murdering cars full of riders by accidentally putting the wrong settings on a rollercoaster and not really testing it first ... And it still doesn't disappoint. It somehow manages to look so pleasant and retro, and is just a pleasure to play. So many thumbs way, way up.

Back in the old days, when Tycoon was a main genre, RTC was among the most fun and most engaging ones. Today in 2017, this hasn't changed. RTC offers an incredible amount of customization and a lot of control over your park from the size of coaster trains to the color of it, to the color of pavement in your park to marketing campaigns of your park or rides. Rules of the game are dynamic, realistic and require adaptation from playing with prices of umberallas depending on rain to the importance of vendor placement to rides becoming old and unwanted, requiring a price drop. Game's graphics are surely dated but the style, in my opinion, makes it pretty timeless. All in all, RTC is definitely worth the money if you like such games!
