Roller Coaster Tycoon® 2: Triple Thrill Pack

I wanted to buy this because of nostalgia. It still is a great game, fallen a bit out of time, just a little old. Game gets a lot better after installing OpenRCT2. There are essential features, like unlocked framerate, multiplayer, new coaster track pieces, better performance. OpenRCT2 is free and you can help out with development if you want to. Development still is active. Can't really go wrong if you came for nostalgia and buy it for a reduced price. You will find it is greatly enhanced with OpenRCT2. Game with OpenRCT2 runs great on Win10, AMD Ryzen 3600X, GTX 1070 and also Win10, AMD 5600, GTX 1080ti.

For me it is the best RCT in the series.

By far the best version to date on any rollar coaster tycoon games.

One of my favorite pc games from when I was younger. Conceptually perfect, the graphics dont matter because of the style of game. I have never found a game to replace the feeling of wanting to play this game. Its just a great game.

I'm fairly certain more people have played Rollercoaster Tycoon than caught chicken pox. It's a franchise that is just as fun to me now as an adult as it was when I was 9 smacking down pre-made coasters and rigging some to explode. That is a testament to the basic premise of RCT and Sawyer's work in making a basic concept work. RCT 2 is less of a direct sequel and more of a refinement on RCT 1, and out of the three I'd advise you do RCT2, then either 1 or 3 depending on if the graphics of 3 scare you. But like the first game, you manage a theme park, build rollercoasters and make a killing off of charging people to use the bathroom. The graphics have a lovely chunky feeling with just a little detail to them, the music is Allister Brimble's bleepy MIDI fun, and it sits in the same tier of time sink as Civilization where you can lose hours of your life perfecting coasters. The only real con is that your park goers are serious light weights when it comes to coasters, and I don't even mean ones where you rigged it to max out the G forces. Even a mildly exciting coaster will be repelling attendees like nothing else, meanwhile the baby coaster will print money like nothing else. It's not a bad criticism, if anything it's funny to watch massive queue lines to my coasters that are little more than flat tracks on the ground.
