I was most disappointed when I found I could no longer play the original game on my system and was really pleased when I saw this game for XP. I am enjoying playing it, nothing has changed and it is as much fun as the original. The only drawback is that the amounts are all in American dollars and seeing as they ship globally you would have thought there would have been a currency option. Having said that, it is still really good and I spend many happy hours in my own theme parks!

One of the best PC strategy games ever.

This game is the original by Chris Sawyer. My son and I have played it for years. It teaches strategic thinking, among other things. It has wonderful visualization facilities. Tremendous fun.

Classic Game

This is a classic game! I played it almost ten years ago and loved it back then - my sister and I would always fight over it. I was disappointed when I found our old game and realized that it would not work on Windows XP because it was so old, so I got on Amazon and found this product!

Rollercoaster Tycoon Deluxe is three games in one - the original Rollercoaster Tycoon, with the Loopy Landscapes and Corkscrew Follies expansion packs. The game runs perfectly on Windows XP.

If you loved the original game and don't yet want to spend the money on Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 or 3, then this is the way to go!

Awesome Game

Well...I had this version of Roller Coaster Tycoon for my old Windows and when I got my new puter with Windows XP a couple of years ago...much to my chagrin, my Roller Coaster Tycoon did not transfer.
I had gotten this for my son to play, and he is now grown and gone. We tried other versions of Roller Coaster Tycoon...but really none were as fun as the original one.
Once he left...I had empty nest syndrome pretty badly. I looked in the stores for the original version of RCT to see if they had made it compatible with Windows XP and could not find it. But I was told it might be available online...and I was delighted when I found it on Amazon.
I ordered it and have enjoyed it immensely. I love Evergreen Gardens and I play it through and accumulate alot of money on it, then flatten it and make a Serenity Garden where I can make banners with Scriptures and everything. I make just a few rides that I really enjoy watching the workings of and then open my Serenity Park for a low fare and watch the little kids come and play in my low key Amusement Park.
I set all the rides on maintain every 10 minutes and I have plenty of maintenance men, so even the coasters rarely crash. I am a very non violent person and I don't like that feature in the scenario, so I pretty much edit it out in the way I run my parks.
It is fun for this older gal to see the kiddies play and it is a drift of imagination that seems pretty harmless to me. I just try to limit my time, so I am only truly using it for recreation and relaxation.

Awesome timesuck

What can I say that the other reviewers haven't said already? Rollercoaster Tycoon is a blast! It's one of the best timesucking games ever.

This Deluxe pack contains the original Rollercoaster Tycoon and its two really, really fun expansions! It's bundled together well in that you only load one program to access all three, and it runs very well on Windows XP. I've only had a few issues with it erroring out on me, but that's because I play it on a lower resolution and switch between screens a lot. That isn't common though; and I just save more often.

Highly recommended as a fun, relaxing game! There are hours and hours (more like days and weeks) of gameplay in this little package. Great price for a great product.

Great entertainment for the PC

Really enjoy Rollercoaster Tycoon. I find it challeging and time consuming. I often play it to relieve stress or to occupy some time. It also allows one to recreate different attractions and rides.

Awesomeness

Since it came out, it has remained one of my most favorite games. I still like rct 2 and this better than the third one. They messed with too much in the third one. I highly recommend these!

Awesome
