Roller coaster tycoon

[Bplax15 2]

That is insane. I never bothered with messing with the landscape except for very small scale operations because it was so time consuming and frustrating but he made a pond with a few streams leading away which had to take so long

I bought RCT1 some years ago, and I found out, that it is actually one of the best games ever made. Like Duke, I also think it has a certain charm, that RCT 2 or 3 doesn't have. But they are good games anyway!

I would also like to hear: how many scenarios have you completed in RCT1? I think I've completed about 5-6 scenarios, but they just keeps getting harder and harder

[Blazerhawk 162]

I beat the original Roller Coaster Tycoon all the way. I never completed many of the expansion pack scenarios, though.

I own RCT1, 2 and 3 with all the scenarios. In my opinion, RCT1 is by far the best, I think one of the best games I ever played. 2 isn't so bad, but I really hate 3. It doesn't have that feeling that RCT1/2 have, it just feels too 'childish'.

I recently got myself RCT3 with soaked and wild expansions.

as a novice in RCT (but no novice to themepark styled games) I totally like some of the features (especially riding the attractions) but the "missions" are kinda dull after a while.

if it had missions like the original themepark game or a more realistic "tycoon" campaign I think it would be a better game...

but then again, can't do too much wrong with games from the budget aisle

I loved rct 1, I used to always play it before I discovered sc4. I got very far in rct1 but loved importing coasters from rct1 and making my own especialy in rc2.

[Bplax15 2]

Those are incredible, especially the air powered vertical coasters (I believe they're called that) One question how to you get different colored sections such as the one at :57? Never could figure that out.

since I havent played the game in awile, I cant remember perfectly but in the ride's window, on one of the taps it has a paint brush and had 4 different color schemes to customize and after you select one you just click on diferent sections of the ride and it changes colors.

After seeing the vid, I dug up my old RTC + Expansions and installed them on my Windows Vista....and when I start the game I get an error saying Access violation or something but it can't locate the source of the error. Can anyone help me with this?

No... I can't help you there....

I had it on XP only... I haven't  tried it on Vista or 7.

Just stumbled across this topic now...  I have RCT3 at the moment... alongside the Sims 2, Sims 3, SimCity 4 Deluxe and about 20 other games....

[Empowered One 41]

Ow, that's too bad...I really wanna play it. Anyone else able to help?

EDIT: I just found out that it has to do with the expansion. I've de-installed the whole thing and just installed the base game and it works fine...what the bleep!?

[edman2012 33]

thats strange, I have rct1 +2 on vista and I never got that problem...are u sure u installed it correctly? I use rct deluxe by the way...

[Empowered One 41]

I don't have deluxe....and yes, they are both propperly installed.

[Slashback 136]

RCT 1 runs fine on my pc with Windows 7, and also did on Vista. Strange problem, and i can't help you, sorry.

- But have you tried running in compatibility mode (Windows 98)?

[Empowered One 41]

How do I do that? Run in compatibility mode? Sounds like something that will make DOS games work....

[Slashback 136]

Make a shortcut to RollerCoaster on the desktop.

Right-click on the shortcut

Press the lowest button (I don't know what it's called in English, but in Danish it's called; Egenskaber)

Press the "Compatibility" button

Select "Windows 98"

Press "OK"

[Pasta-power 7]

Sorry I havnt been on for a long time everyone. I just stoppped playing sc4 4 a long time. I just came back to see if that box stopped popping up that said: I am unathorised to login to the forums.

[Pasta-power 7]

Yay! i can post again!

[Slashback 136]

I've started playing RollerCoaster Tycoon Again, but I have a problem... I can't load saved games in the Deluxe edition - when I press "Load Game" there is no files in the folder. Anyone know how to fix this? I've heard about a patch, but I can't find it.

Any help is appriciated!

[The Avatar 1,089]

Wow, I haven't playeed RCT in such a long time. The whole series is definitely one of those "Automatic Hall of Fame" games. I could never unlock any park past, er... great, I forgot the name. Well, it's the water themed one after the very small mini-park.

Probably one of the best computer games I've ever played. I've since lost the disk , but I do remember some great rollercoasters that I made, especialy the Texas Twister, which was basically a rollarcaoster with a million loops!

[Wiecher 192]

Oh, right.

I always used RCT2 to build cities...

The only screen I could find this fast, but the town is a lot biggger.

[joe55 27]

Roller coaster tycoon is awesome. i still play it. building rides, controlling a park and my favorite, Building roller coasters...

[_marsh_ 1,118]

Did the same sometimes. Maybe not so much cities but I made massive "Main Streets" like that that you see at large amusement parks. I wish some of my pictures still existed.

I remember RCT2 and RCT3. I played RCT1 at a friends house, but when I got RCT2, he came over to my house to play it.

When RCT3 came out, I was like "THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!" I just wish it was compatible with Windows 7. I have to use my old XP laptop to play it, and the hardware is beginning to fail on it.
