RollerCoaster Tycoon® 2: Triple Thrill Pack

I remember playing this game back when I was nine. It was the only game that I would play, unfortunately I lost the disk for it. This game allows you to run a theme park, giving you tasks to build roller coasters, food stands, amusement rides, and even as far as repairing vandalism and mowing the grass. This is an excellent game that will keep you entertained for hours at a time and you will come right back for more.

This game is currently £3.99 in sainsburys. Would be nice if GoG could rival that price.

Yeah I know it's not a city builder and it's not trying to be but personally I always find city builders a bit boring. But lately for some reason I've had an itch to play an old simulator game. It's a wonderful game once you learn how everything works and it still looks great today. It really is a joy watching all the rides come to life, the visitors buying balloons, and even your handymen sweeping the park. The interface feels a little dated to me though. At first I was dropping food stalls in the center of footpaths but no one could reach them! Why? Well turns out you have to place stalls facing the side of paths or the game gets confused. Placing water seems awkward to me too. You can't just place water on a tile you have to lower the ground level first. Once you learn how to properly place buildings and the like, everything becomes a lot of fun. You can also make your own roller coasters and test them for safety (or not). It's actually possible to create and place rides so they kill the visitors. I guess if you love movies about amusement parks that go horribly wrong this is your chance to make your own death park. I'm glad I found this game on GOG, it's exactly the sort of game I was in the mood for.

I tried launching the game from GOG Galaxy and it would get a graphics error. I did every troubleshooting step I could find for the game and compatibility settings and playing from the direct .exe file and it would not work consistantly. One time I got it to run, then when I tried running it again without changing anything else, I ended up with a black screen again with sound. I'm disappointed that gog would continue to sell a game that doesn't even work. The game is awesome, but it is unplayable unless you have a really old computer with really old drivers (I did not see the warning about requiring ancient drivers when I bought the game).
