I don't really know exactly how to put it. So I'm just going to say. I got this game when I was a kid not long after it came out. Lets just say an entire summer vacation went by and I didn't even notice. I would get on in the morning when everyone left for work at 9am, and then suddenly they'd be home, and it was 5pm. And my eyes were blood shot and burned, and I had to go pee really badly. And I couldn't remember anything that happened for that day. It was my absolute favorite game when I was a kid. I loved building parks, designing coasters and ocationally drowning the unhappy guest. It has a lot of fond memories and I couldn't recommend this game more to people who like this style of game.
