Looking for a good, clean game that will get you hooked for hours? Maybe you're a parent and are looking for a non-violent game to let your youngsters play... This is a great non-violent game that is fun, because it allows us to do what we like to do in real life... go to an amusement park!
In this game, you will manage an amusement park, and be responsible for all operations of that park. You must hire staff, set prices, build attractions, and keep your guests happy. Sounds easy? Not so... this game is difficult enough to keep it interesting for the older players and simple enough to be enjoyable to younger players.
This game grows as you grow. Each time you beat a park, the game unlocks a new park that is more difficult than the last one. Don't think you just move straight through though... You can continue in your park for as long as you like...
The graphics in this game are pretty good on machines running Windows ME and 98, but not so great on XP. You can still play the game, you will just need to deal with some older looking graphics. The interface is simple and easy to use, you just need to drag track wherever you want it laid, and the rules are simple... You have nearly complete customization over your park, so you can truly make this your park, if you don't like the way something looks all you need to do is change it...
This simple game, is very fun and will have everyone hooked for hours! Try it, you will like it!
Great for all kinds of gamers

This game is great. It has the same basis as Sim City only you control all aspects of an amusement park. You are given objectives for each level that you must complete in order to unlock more levels. Once you have completed all the levels, you gain the right to build your own amusement park with no restrictions. The best part of this game is the fact that you build the rides individually. You can create your version of the best roller coaster ever, and see if the guests like it as much as you do. This game does get repetitive after a while though, as every Sim City type game does.
Easy, Long, and Customizable

This game wasn't very challenging, but fun nevertheless. The idea is to build a roller coaster park, which may also include thrill rides, gentle rides, and water rides. The people, whom you can see in your park even as you build, roam your park. You can spy on each one's thoughts. You need to keep them from getting thirsty or hungry and provide bathrooms. You need to make sure they don't vomit often and clean it up when they do. You can build any roller coaster yourself, or choose from preset designs. Building roller coasters is a bit of a challenge, since it can be hard to connect the end to the beginning, but they can fit the given space more easily than preset ones. It's important to balance your budget and keep track of prices. This game is easy to win, but takes a long time to play. I recommend this for anyone who wants a laid back simulation and for people who want to build the ultimate roller coaster.
RCT Is Great!

I like computer games. Roller Coaster Tycoon is my second favorite game, only Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone is better. I like how real the game is, for example, weeds grow in the grass and people get hungry. It is very realistic, but there are some problems. One problem is that the guests are so stupid.
They think that the exit for a ride is the park exit and get lost! Here are some ways to possibly solve that problem. Don't build long winding paths or dead ends. I don't have an expansion pack, but they might open the game
Awesome game

It took me a little time to get the hang of building a park, but once I got into it I would be up for hours trying to finish. The expansion packs make the game even better.

If anyone asked me what my favorite simulation is, I'd have to say Roller Coaster Tycoon.
In Roller Coaster Tycoon, the graphics and reality of it all is great. You get different scenarios by conquoring other ones, and the researchers develope rides at a resonable pace. If you don'y believe me.
