RollerCoaster Tycoon® Deluxe

Recently bought this as I was feeling nostalgic - next thing I know its 1am. Im not normally one to bother writing reviews, but I am so compelled to write this - If you have never played this game, buy it now and play it. Make it one of the things you MUST do before you die. This game is for anyone and everyone and I will bet anyone in the world £1000 that they wont be able to pull themselves away from it.

Having played all 3 in the series I definitely have the fondest memories of this one. Sure 2 and 3 offered more bobs and whistles but there was just something about the first that kept my attention for weeks on end. I remember taking fores frontiers and just filling it to the brim with rides turning it into the best park I could then every so often shutting down the park and starting again using the funds I earned. I don't think I ever beat all the scenarios, but there were a lot there and each created a unique challenge that sometimes took some planning but was always doable. I definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to build a theme park or you just enjoy building game play and are looking for something different than a city builder.

One of the first tycoon games I've played: cool graphics for its times, very high fun factor and what was the most important feature: the ability to build your own rides. Thank you GOG.com for converting this game to Win7 (works perfectly even with 64bit version). I missed this game :)

I loved this game when I was a kid. Thanks a lot for the windows 7 compatible version.

I must say, since my first session with demo of this game I knew I was in love. My Gold edition still lies on the shelf (in great shape, I must admit) and I bought it here to have a reserve copy . This game achieved almost perfect balance between sweet sandbox gameplay and economic mechanics. RTC 2 and 3 are good games yet they try too hard, they are too much if you get my meaning. This one is simple and fun. Buy it
