Want to build an empire without all the usual bloodshed? Try RollerCoaster Tycoon, which puts you in total control of a theme park, managing every detail from ride development to rescuing lost guests. A simulator in the style of SimCity, this game has a simple enough concept: build a park attractive enough to draw in hoards of tourists and then separate them from their hard-earned money. This is accomplished by researching and building rides, along with amenities, gardens and decorations. Once you have your infrastructure, and the staff to maintain it, it's time to sit back and watch the funds roll in...all in hopes of building an even bigger rollercoaster somewhere else! The big draws in a theme park, the coasters are expensive and flashy. They lure in thrill-seeking guests prepared to pay top dollar for a wild ride. RollerCoaster Tycoon even allows you to design the coasters yourself, a finicky but ultimately rewarding operation. Despite a clunky interface and the usual simulator drawbacks--such as long waits while you acquire funds for the next ride--RollerCoaster Tycoon is an utter gem of a game. Its soundtrack, a mix of calliope music and ride machinery, is mixed with the sound of guests squealing with delight and terror as the coasters hurl them around. The sound mix is joyfully evocative, and you can almost smell the cotton candy and the popcorn. Best of all, you can play in this theme park for hours without once losing your children or friends, getting sore feet or experiencing motion sickness. --Alyx Dellamonica

 Fun untill... September 1, 2009
Christian (Mississippi)
This is a fun game until you complete a park. It gets dull and boring. And one thing that makes me a little upset is that this game has one park that has a ton of rides and the other parks only have one ride already built. So thats all folks
 I love RCT!! July 2, 2009

I love this game, I've had to buy it several times. After I ordered it I didn't have to wait very long for it to arrive, which I really appreciate. Also, it was in excellent condition.
I am very pleased with my purchase and would gladly do it again.

This game is fantastic. I had it for the first time when I was about 15, so about 5 years ago. Played it a lot. Once you burn through about 8 parks, it does lose it's pow! All my friends have asked to play at least once though.
