RollerCoaster Tycoon Gold Edition
It is important to note there is nothing new in this game. It is just a re-release of the game and its two expansion packs. So, if you have Rollercoaster Tycoon and the expansion packs, don’t bother, Rollercoaster Tycoon II is coming this fall.
But if you dont have any of the RCT games yet, this is a good buy.

Rollercoaster Tycoon…the legacy? Absolutley, gamers for generations to come will look forward to the new releases of this game! Okay maybe I am over-exaggerating, but I can tell you that I love this game, I am 24 years old and I love this game. It is incredibly addictive. I can also tell you this, if you are wondering what version to buy, get the gold edition first. It gives you the original Rollercoaster tycoon (RCT for short) plus the two RCT expansion packs (loopy landscapes and corkscrew follies).
I will also warn you to start easy. It’s much easier to start small and build your parks along with your knowledge. If you go straight to RCT II there are some very challenging games that is hard to appreciate or understand without first conquering a few games the conventional way.
To quote Aerosmith’s Amazing “You have to learn to crawl…before you learn to walk” so just like with every other game and life in general, take things one step at a time. But be sure to buy this game…it’s a blast!The game earns five stars and higher if I could. Buy this version because for ten bucks more you can almost quadruple your fun!

There is a patch you can download at Atari’s web site to make the expansion pack Loopy Landscapes work on a PC running Windows XP. The Roller Coaster Tycoon CD itself already runs fine under Windows XP, but the expansion packs Corkscrew Follies and Loopy Landscapes do not run under Windows XP even if you change the compatibility mode on your PC for Windows 95/98. The patch will make Loopy Landscapes run fine using Windows XP, and since it already includes Corkscrew Follies, you do not need to worry about trying to get that CD to work.
Also, the RollerCoaster Tycoon Gold Edition pack that we just purhased from Amazon already has the downloadable patch applied to the Loopy Landscapes expansion pack CD, so we didn’t even need to download the patch.
So, those of you running Windows XP on your PC and can’t get Loopy Landscapes to work, go download that patch and have fun using your expansion pack.

That is a big but there. The original game was good, then 2 expansion packs made it great. But, I have been playing long enough to realize some of the limitations such as: in most scenerios there isn’t 10 square feet of flat land to build on ANYWHERE, and when you build a large paved area or build a park with many loops and intersections in the paths the little people get confused, then angry, and because they are so stupid they can’t find the exit, and you are bombarded with messages like “Guest XXXX is lost and cannot find the park exit”. Ah, but there is a beacon of hope on the horizon: “Roller Coaster Tycoon 2″ It seems like most of the problems in the original game will be solved in RCT2, plus there will be many improvements like more rides, more realistic rides, more scenery, and even a scenario editor. My advice is to wait for RCT2 to come out in what should be sometime around October this year. Trust me, you will be much happier waiting for a far superior product than you will be if you invest in software that will be obsolete in a few months.

I don’t have any of the Roller Coaster Tycoon series so I decided to buy this 3 in 1 All Ride Pass. It turned to be a great game. I heard people say it is the best roller coaster game so I had to try it out myself and it was even better than expected! The animation was really cool and it acts like a normal theme park with conession stands and even to my favorite ROLLER COASTERS! Then it has normal favorite rides like Bumber Cars, train, monorail, log flumes and a rapids ride (tire ride that floats on the water A theme park favorite. You have to manage your park successfully to make lots of money to be a tycoon. Then the rest is expansion paks filled with more ROLLER COASTERS! Corkscrew Follies and Loopy Landscapes. The 3 in 1 game pak will keep you busy for the whole summer and then some! Buy it quickly, it was the coolest animations and sounds people screaming on roller coasters!
