Done in the same vein as these games, with a bit of the Bullfrog classic Theme Park thrown in for extra measure, RollerCoaster Tycoon is here to keep not only the adult players, but kids as well glued to their monitor screens.Īfter you've designed and built up your park with all sorts of entertaining rides and food stalls, you must keep it running on a day-to-day basis. Their solid execution allowed for complex railroad building and engineering as well as pinpoint micro-management. One could argue that Railroad Tycoon and its sequel Railroad Tycoon II are the ultimate digital train sets for the adult PC gamer community. "Build it, and they will come," is an applicable phrase. The more ingenious, innovative and scary the rides you put in, the better business (higher park value and overall profit) will be for the park. Your designs and layouts must be well thought out, as you must also get as many people to visit your park as possible.

This is damn good example of the overfilled Tycoon genre, so if you've somehow managed to get this far in life without buying it six times at varying prices, you should probably buy it now.The main objective of this game is to choose, design, create and install a wide variety of roller coaster rides in your entertainment park.

And to this day, making a fairground that causes miniature people to become over-excited and vomit is its own reward. For the time, the ability to ride your coasters in full, breathtaking 3D was something of a fun gimmick, even if you did have to simulate G-forces by playing the game in the back of a convertible BMW. Still, at least Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 one of the good ones, and having the expansion packs included are a bonus. Well don't come here for a review, or I'll take the piss out of your zebras. I knew it! You're budget, but I bet you'll be back on some new release list in the next couple of months. Stop whimpering and show me your price tag. I can see you looking sheepish, over there, Zoo Tycoon. When Are They not re-releasing Tycoon games? Do they put the prices back up, every other month, just to drop them again, creating an exciting new presence on the budget scene?
