Can you believe that Chris Sawyer did all the work for this masterpiece?

Could be an eight depending on how I feel that day, but at the end of the day I am a bit of a retard, one could say, and really like the detailing options added in 3. I feel a bit constrained in this entry, like I can't truly flourish when I can't use three different colors on my paths. The simplicity is a benefit in many ways, but my immense talents of deciding how many pickles should be on the burgers I sell are immensely restrained here.

One of my first management sims and probably what made me love them in the first place.

the ultimate theme park sim game. nothing else comes close.


pretty entertaining, good way to kill time... and people too :)

I'm not paying that much for Restroom 1.

Pelo pouco que joguei dele, parece ser um jogo mais completo que o primeiro da franquia. Ótimo jogo de construção, vale a pena testar.

Definitivamente esse não é um jogo que só é bom por causa de "nostalgia". RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 é um simulador bem dedicado em quase todos os aspectos, requerendo do jogador boas estratégias de investimento e administração do parque durante a gameplay, o que com certeza vai satisfazer aqueles que gostam desse tipo de jogo. No meu caso, foi justamente o contrário: não gosto desse gênero mesmo, e só escolhi jogar novamente pela memória de infância — rendendo poucas horas de entretenimento verdadeiro. Ainda assim, seria desonesto eu não concordar que se trata de uma obra-prima desse estilo, a qual permanece sólida mesmo 20 anos depois.

For some reason I had it in my head from a kid that this was a lesser version of the 1st. On the contrary, it's just better. It's basically the same game just with added new features. This and the 1st are achievements of the all-time caliber of gamemaking. Its so mindboggling how Chris Sawyer made this game engine as optimally as this.

the fact that this game still runs well on modern computers gets it five stars alone

With OpenRCT2, this ends up accidentally becoming one of the best simulation games ever made. I spent like, 40 hours on perfecting my first theme park, and now I don't have any motivation to play more? Whoops. Really fun while it lasted tho, and I can EASILY see myself dumping way more time into this game when I've taken a break and am less overworked with college.

So technically I played scenarios from each game in OpenRCT2 but even still... perfect games. Made by one fuckin guy, coded in goddamn ASSEMBLY. Coders know what I'm talking about when I say that is the most insane shit I've ever heard. And yet... PERFECT GAMES

RCT 1 but better

OpenRCT2 is the ultimate way to play this as well as the scenarios/content from RCT1 as well

Yooo who else kept making multiple handymen as a child instead of actually setting their cleaning area? I had like ten dudes mowing grass and ignoring all the litter on the paths at any one time.

Some additional content and QOL improvements from the first, but I never liked it as much. It felt like there were too many options for rides/shops/scenery/etc. and nothing to do with them because the scenarios didn't unlock serially like the original. Still, a wonderful game and one with tons of replay value.

I got this from my older sister when I turned 12. Harbored absolutely no interest for this kind of game, and that continued after I tried playing it. Just didn't see the appeal. I'm sure I could have more fun with it now, but... bygones... At least the PC box still looks nice in my shelf.

It's a better version of RollerCoaster Tycoon, plain and simple. All of the familiar gameplay remains with so many new rides and thematic decorations, plus an entirely new mode where you can just build and experiment on rollercoasters. This is the kind of game you can lose hours to, and it's easy to get into whether you're a hard-core gamer or not!

uh oh this walking path is in the way of my rollercoaster

this was one of the few games that would actually run on the win98 family computer and i have poured countless hours into it. thank you chris sawyer for creating some of the happiest moments for me with this game <3

The jumping fountains are great!

Guest 497 thinks Ferris Wheel 3 is a great value!

Like the original RCT, this game is phenomenal. I prefer the relatively simplicity of the first one however.


still the best isometric park sim game.

Damn, he really just said "let me cook"

Roller Coaster em sua época era um dos maiores destaques no famigerado gênero de Tycoon, tive ótimas experiencias jogando nos anos 2000 quando criança e tambem tive uma otima experiencia re-joango em 2016!
