I've been playing this for about 2 years now and I still love it. That's because it's always something different, and exciting.

A great pastime

RCT has made a lot of memories for my friend and me. The gameplay is great and makes you want to play more and more. And with the expansions (Loopy Landscapes and Corksrew Follies), it makes the game even more fun, adding new and exciting pre-built rides and new park landscapes for you to build on. Building your own coasters (and other rides) is amazing on here. But a drawback is that usually if you think a ride is totally awesome and ANYONE would want to ride it, the guests at the park usually think it's too intense or nauseating. But, there are always pre-built rides that they love if you can't seem to build a non-intense coaster. I urge you to buy this game, as it will probably run on any computer possible.

Setting the Tycoon Standards!

Though the title of this review says it all perhaps a few points are in order:

- The graphics & sound of this game are great. They fit the genre and theme of the game perfectly. In a lot of games the sound can get tedious but in RCT this isn't an issue as the constant tasks and changing scenes keep things fresh.

- The gameplay is the best I've ever experienced or seen in a tycoon / sim game. The menus and interface buttons are VERY simple to learn and use. The game can be completely run by the mouse - typing is optional. The tutorial is simple and effective, getting you into the game fast. The drive to build the best park can be obsessive - be warned!

- Value isn't even the right word! This Gold edition comes with so much game! There are dozens of scenarios on the discs with this edition: that will take a lot of time to complete. In addition you can re-play any scenario that you've finished to your heart's content. You can continue playing any scenario that you've won and keep building with no further goals than design and profit. The replay value alone is worth EVERY cent. Add all that to abundant online resources and you're good to go.

- Performance: check for any relevant patches / updates online (there aren't too many) and other than that any mainstream modern computer (even the name-brand junk boxes) won't have problems running this game. I remember playing it endlessly on a 450mhz machine with 128mb ram and it ran like a champ. If you have better (or equal) than that you're good to go.

On a side note I'd recommmend NOT picking up Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, 3 or any other permutation - they are horrible defacements of a great original game. Stick with the original and play it into the ground: it's easier, more fun and less serious, and avoids any unrealistic and ridiculous additions to a true tycoon simulation. Keep it real!

Old game

Roller Coaster Tycoon is one of my favorite PC games. That's why I'm reviewing this. The hardest part of all in this game is the Arid Heights park in "Loopy Landscapes". But after you beat all the scenarios in the game, you will unlock Mega park, the biggest theme park of all. Now when it comes to the rides, it's just okay. It could use some improvements. Why? Because the rides are not many. Like in some park, it only shows at laest only 1 ride in a section like the roller coasters, thrill rides. Still, the game is cool.

Great game but...

RCT is one of the best games I have ever played. It requires a lot of strategy and thinking. It also allows you to build and manage your own park and mostly let you do anything you want in it. Sadly the only problem with this game is that the original RCT works for Windows XP but the expansions don't. =(

Buy This Game NOW!

This game is very addictive and fun. I bought the Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 and the Roller Coaster Tycoon Gold Edition. This game offers true strategy and thought. You can practically do anything you want with the guests and make them ride the roller coaster over and over again. This game is great for anyone who likes to design things and run businesses. I reccomend this game to anyone any age and any sex.

There's nothing quite like the original

I bought this game pack a year ago and have enjoyed it ever since. It was a good value then, and even more so now with RCT 3 coming out in November. I too would recommend playing the original RCT before you move on to RCT 2 or 3. It may seem pretty rustic, especially compared to the screen shots of RCT 3, but it's a lot of fun and at an excellent price.

The best game ever!!!!

Roller Coaster Tycoon was a phenominon in its self when it was first released but to be honest infogrames have gone about this gold pack all the wrong way. They've released the "gold pack" edition only a few months before what will be there biggest release ever RCT 2. The gold pack still has many bugs and geusts getting lost will just totally drive you crazy. RCT 2 is now 98% complete and is looking at hitting the selfs in late october, for the brits probably around christmas so if you want to spend [money] you can go ahed and do it now and buy a game that in 3 months will be like a ...clearance sale price. But your best option is to wait a while and get Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 a game that will probably be top of the chart for a year or two then you'll have somthing to talk about at school. Make a wise desision. Good Luck.
