Is what my brother got me as a gift one day.. he used to play the first one and he said he enjoyed it quiet well.

I'm home sick.
My friends suck.
I like roller coasters.
Brother took back his TV, so no xbox/ps3/wii/tv
I'm bored out of my mind.
Pr0n is unnecessary.

So I install the game looking for about 30 minuets of excitement. Four hours later I finally get up to pee and decided I should take a break. I built half a dozen parks and just kept farting around. Building coasters that had infinity loops that made me dizzy just watching. 15 minuet glory rides underground that shot you to the heavens.

Launching bodies over hundred feet off water slides. Building a stair way to heaven with the half complete highway to hell coaster barreling towards it full of a couple hundred people.

My last park which I have pictures of, had a little over 2000 people in it and had some interesting building methods.

tl dr;
I played god for 4 hours and my friends suck.







I figured I had to show something that took up 4 hours of my life.

Anyone else play this game? I'm tempted to start the career tonight as a lack of nothing else to do.

Is that the one that you can run over people with? I've got a Roller Coaster Tycoon, but I can't run people over with them...

It's one of my favourite games and always has.

The animal expansion added some cool concept coasters.

The career isin't bad but freeform is the best.

Nothing beats watching the rides with my 3d glasses:

I just build half complete coasters and run them into people.. I know there is some mod? where you can drive a car around into people.

I just enjoyed having a few hundred people in a straight path with a bobsleigh headed straight at them and watching them get mowed over.

Anyone ever play the old Theme Park game by Bullfrog? That was awesome...

my cousin asked for roller tycoon 2.

I didn't know there was a 3rd one out, so i bought both.  whichever one he doesn't get, I think i'll keep the other.

Old school. I had it on 3DO

Which also reminds me of one of my favourites...

Wow, that is nothing like the older version that I used to play. It looks pretty entertaining, although ever since Demonoid got shut down, I've been lost.

It is still awesome.

They made a sequal and a ton of expansion packs.

Completely 3d, pretty awesome.
