RollerCoaster Tycoon® 2: Triple Thrill Pack

I remember buying this game when it first came out. It was so much fun then, and it still is! There's nothing more satisfying than building a giant rollercoaster and watching the guests literally jumping for joy :) It builds on the themes of the original game and improves them in many ways, such as including different scenarios and themes for your park. The two expansion packs add a whole host of new rides, and at such a low price, it's a fantastic deal. I can't recommend this game enough!

When you start the game, it essentially tells you that playing it makes you subject to its EULA, which of course contains the frequently found statement: "The Software is licensed and not sold to you and its use is subject to this EULA." The typical "you own it, but you don't own it" nonsense. My approach to this sort of thing is very simple - if _I_ don't own it, then _you_ don't get any money - so I refunded it. Since DRM is limiting the customer's ability to use a product through means of software, and a EULA is limiting the customer's ability to use a product through means of law, I consider both of these to be fundamentally customer-hostile and thus reject the use of either on principle. And while DRM is hard to avoid these days, EULAs are a lot easier, as most games (at least of the ones I come across) do not have any. To address a common criticism that people may have regarding this review: Yes, this EULA is probably unenforcable since... a) I couldn't find any mention of it on the Store page (prior to purchase). b) The developer assumes that the user accepted it by playing the game, without the user ever actually stating acceptance of anything. c) Depending on circumstances, it may be difficult for the company to find out if the user has violated the EULA. But my criticism is based on principle, not on legal enforcability. If a company is hostile to its customers, and tries to dictate and control what said customers do with the software these customers own, I avoid said company. I originally wanted to finish off my review by adding the particular sections of the EULA which I find most intrusive (and quite frankly ridiculous), but GOG imposes a character limit, which I would go beyond in doing so. So unfortunately you will need to read it for yourself if you want to know...

I originally had the game disk, and I spent a lot of my childhood playing it. Lost the game disk a year ago, and just this month decided to try it again, so I bought this from GOG. Same charm I originally had with the disk, same game, but extremely unstable. This GOG version of it just doesn't work. I can launch it, yes, but almost any small action (saving, loading, ETC.) will cause it to crash to the desktop, almost like if you were to terminate from the task manager.

While I appriciate this game a lot, good features and a lot of fun to play it has some serious issues when you first install this game. It doesn't run, graphical error and than I tried to verify the files and that didn't help. What did help was to uninstall this game completely from the GOG launcher (Inc Data) and Reinstalling it completely. Than it worked and I could play normally.
