Roller Coaster Tycoon® 2: Triple Thrill Pack

Is a good game

There's a lot of reviews talking about the game not working well on modern computers. The open source project OpenRCT is designed to address these issues -- and it adds some modern QOL features on top. It's free, but does require this game to run (due to IP issues with the art in the game, it's not able to be as standalone as OpenTTD is).

It's kind of a small software update that adds a scenario editor and expansion pack with some more rides that does not justify a new release. As the price difference here on GOG is not so big it's not that much of a rip-off nowadays, but don't buy 1 & 2 together as they are mostly identical. I did not like the new scenarios too much. There is more crappy looking decorations. The engine is quite limited here in adding houses and you see that Chris Sawyer had maybe one designer so the props are repeated too often. In fact I immediately downloaded http://www.ginever.net/files/file/4-rollercoaster-tycoon-2-community-content-pack/ which has the RCT 1 scenarios converted to RCT 2 which look a lot more decent. Still it's the addicting and fun Rollercoaster Tycoon gameplay. The isometric perspective is great for building a rollercoaster because the current squares are highlighted and you always know where you are. I also like the intuitive construction interface that some game magazines complained about. A true classic.

This game IS the foundation of my childhood! Every day that I came home from school, this is literally what I played on my Windows 2000 computer. Once it came out, and when I got this game for my birthday, it was great! I loved making rides where they would crash together, that was awesome! When I was around 16, circa 2007, I took the game seriously, and I started making the ultimate park. 5 years have passed, and it isn't even halfway done! This game has TONS of depth to it, it was on par with The Sims, another PC game. That is saying something. Atari, I love you! This is my favorite game for sure! I love that some of the entertainers that scare and terrorize the children, I'm so evil. >:D Seriously, it's worth 10, 20, 50, 100, even 1000€ (A LOT!)

Just downloaded the game, and it wont even let me open it to play?? not sure if this is a windows 10 issue ? Has anyoneone else been able to fix this as would love to play this nostalgic game.
