As a youth my mom had a summer ticket program. For every 30 minutes we read we would get a ticket. Watching TV or playing games for 30 minutes cost a ticket. If we earned enough tickets she would take us to Half-Price Books to buy a book. I earned enough tickets to buy the Roller Coaster Tycoon guidebook. I would read the book for 30 minutes, earn a ticket, and play the game for 30 minutes with that earned ticket. It helped me beat all the scenarios. This is a good game!
