that's right we're taking a trip down memory lane with rollercoaster tycoon
I remember being addicted to this game as a kid spending hours on the computer
beating as many of the scenarios as possible always somehow losing my save
file I'm going to restart all over again we're not giving a shit
roller coaster tycoon wasn't the first type of game out there but it definitely spawned a series
of successors trying to capture the same type of gameplay in different settings
all tycoon Airport tycoon all sorts of them but none of them really able to
capture the same type of feel it began with roller coaster tycoon what
makes this game so special is the amount of pure creativity that you can engage
in when playing this game everything is up for grabs you can customize every
aspect of your part to the rise the different scenery types the past how all
things move you can customise people name your employees man you can do
almost whatever you want many of the scenarios have a blank Park and you can
completely lay out the park in any way that you want building rides here over
there scenery things having super-crazy intricate paths all sorts of shit in
these customization options it's really where the fun of rollercoaster tycoon
comes in managing your park and creating all sorts of different things the way
you want to Fields grayton is a lot of fun
now having too many customization options can be overwhelming for some
players them but in roller coaster tycoon they managed to keep things
somewhat simple given the amount of options that you had you only have a
select amount of options for ride and in the roller coaster builder they take you
step by step through building the ride and it makes so much sense that you
never feel overwhelmed with all the different options that you can go
through this roller coaster building mechanic that it made where you can
create custom made rollercoasters the way you want it working at weaving them
in and out through your path and other rides around the park is so much fun
this in my opinion is by far the best party of the game making different
roller coasters different types of roller coasters with loops and twists
and turns and making sure that the guests actually like them once they get
on and make you lots of money that is so fun to me and definitely worth looking
at and spending a lot of time on in game it's really easy to jump right into
this game and start playing right away and messing around and have some success
it's built for that but there is a learning curve as well and the more you
play the better you get at it you learn what the guests like and what's going to
make the most amount of money so when you're building your rides and building
your park you can maximize it to make it a cash making machine roller coaster
queuing is a management sim and what that does come of the managing your
money and the whole business side of the park some people may like these aspects
some people may dislike them in my opinion they're done really well so
people who do like the management style sim type games will appreciate this part
of the game it's fairly simple but again there are options use do you can hire
staff you can specify where you want them to patrol you can take out
advertisements to bring a new guest to your Park there are a ton of options to
really try to maximize the amount of money your Park is making and please
your guests as much as possible the perk guests can be pretty fickle and to me
this is the part of the game that kind of holds it back a little bit the AI
just has trouble dealing with certain things the park guests say I will have
it just wander around the park aimlessly with no kind of intent and deciding when
it reaches rides or stores whether or not it wants to engage with those rather
than searching out its needs specifically which can cause a few
problems if the guests are hungry or thirsty they won't go and seek out the
drink stalls or the burger stalls to feed themselves they'll just they just
have to get lucky in half an aparment so that force you'd have to do is you can't
have a food court I parry if that's what you're looking for you kind of have to
spread out your your drink stalls your bathrooms and your food shops all over
the all over the park so that guess will happen to come across them and nobody
will really get hungry or thirsty and get upset with you anyway guest gets
really upset who cares yeah they want to go home
but if they're deep in the park and they don't just happen to find the park exit
they'll have trouble making their way to leave the park lowering your first
rating because they hate it and you get a bunch of notification saying oh park
guest is lost like big your hell you have a park map just
but hey I just can't handle that in the sink when I said earlier that you can
build your parking in whatever way you want that is true that the grid system
allows you to put paths on top of each other and rides and weed them in and out
through each other if there's space but if you don't do this correctly sometimes
what can happen is the parking it a little bit too complicated with
squeezing too many things in it becomes hard to see you get certain paths that
don't make sense and you can't reach them without deleting everything on top
because you can't be underneath and things you get quite complicated in that
way if you don't build your part properly the staffs have some minor
issues as well the mechanics seem to wander around and are all over the place
sometimes three of them all packed into one area like dudes come on spread out
the security guards don't really seem to do much and the entertainer's it's hard
to see their value and the handyman what is with you guys want to mow every piece
of grass on the park come on get it together guys in each of the scenarios
there's a victory condition that you'll need to meet to after a certain amount
of years to win the scenario and as lot other scenarios in the game these are
often fairly easy to accomplish and in some cases you meet them after the first
year then what ends up happening is if you just in its abusive scenario once
you get the required amount of people in your park and the park rating you just
kind of sit there in a way just making the small changes here and there until
you get to the end of the time which doesn't force players to keep building
and making great stuff to meet the scenario needs by the end of the time
one of the coolest parts of the game is being able to build ride underground and
having them come underground through tunnels and pop pop or go through
mountains and come out the other side cool stuff like that but the landscaping
manipulation mechanic in the game is so tough to deal with you'll often be
raising and lowering accidentally trying to figure it out you can't really see
what you need to do and it costs so much money that if you accidentally do
something you might spend a thousand dollars just raising your land I hope
sorry I didn't mean to do that then to Lord again you got to spend
another thousand dollars so I just wish it was a little bit tighter controls and
not just there's plenty of variety in the
scenarios and settings for each of these parts there's something forests deserts
mountains lakes they're all over the place offering a variety of challenges
and unique opportunities to build rides which is great as you work your way
towards the end of the game there are some significant challenging scenarios
towards the end one in particular dinky Park you start
with a tiny park enough to build a sweet Park in a tiny area is a bit of a
challenge thank you for including this thing it forces players to really
improve their skills rather than just kind of fool around but for those of you
do want to just mess around there are scenarios for that as well
as you work your way through the scenarios as you get towards into the
game there isn't that many different rides that you end up seeing and many of
these starting rides are all the same go find yourself using the same rides over
and over again merry-go-round Ferris wheel scrambled eggs the ship whatever
the roller coaster like they're all the same so the more you play you might
start to get sick of the same types of rides over and over again for being
released over 15 years ago roller coaster tycoon still looks pretty decent
I mean the graphics aren't the greatest because they are so old but the
aesthetic is still kind of holds up after so many years the grid format
makes so much sense for a game like this putting the rides and each thing taking
up one tile and you have so many tiles to work with on various levels just
makes a ton of sense it makes it so much more fun to be able to weave things in
and out together using this great system but nowadays games trying to use the 3d
system for this Park creators I mean it's a good progression but it just
makes it a little bit over complicated I mean not quite enough state the roller
coaster tycoon it's quite clear how much space each thing takes up 1 2 3 however
many tiles so it makes it so much easier people just jump right in and know how
to play this game right away the sound effects like the money to
Ching or the people screaming or people laughing the music it all kind of
contributes to this now theme park amusement park deal which makes sense
but the longer you play it's the same sound effect over and over again but
can't start to get a little bit annoying well I'm sure there are still a few
original copies of rollercoaster tycoon floating around out there on Steam they
released the roller-coaster tycoon deluxe edition which is basically just
the same basic game with its two expansion these two expansions add in a
bunch of new customization options ride a whole new bevy of scenarios for you to
try out and play through it's just there's so much more content added in
with those two expansions in the scheme deluxe edition overall roller coaster
tycoon is a game for me that I look back on with such nostalgic feelings I
remember thinking back and playing this game when I was younger really enjoying
it when I was a kid but since I've returned this game as an adult with the
steam deluxe edition it's again a great game to play even now even with the date
with all the new games out there roller coaster tycoon is still a game that
matches up well with any other game out there for that reason my final verdict
for rollercoaster tycoon is a 9 out of 10 an excellent game whether you found a
copy the original rollercoaster tycoon or you just want to settle grab the
steam deluxe version this game is well worth your time if you played it before
when you're younger give it a shot and return to a play through all its Narrows
again it's loads of fun or if you've never tried playing this game before I
highly highly recommend it well that'll do it for rollercoaster tech soon I got
to thank you guys so much for watching if you used to play roller coaster
tycoon when your kids let me know share with your friends spread the love of
this awesome game but again thank you so much for watching and I hope to see you
guys next time ah yes guy gaming
