*terrible on behalf of myself and @EMPIRE

It was like watching a train wreck one can't pull themselves away from. I was horribly fascinated and hideously ashamed for laughing out loud [until the end segment that is] =o/

upvote for the roller coaster ride of emotion [whew]

I'm so far removed from gaming that I cannot understand why there would be a game called 'Roller Coaster Tycoon'.


I don't think enough people have explained RollerCoaster Tycooon to you yet. Basically it was a game where you built rollercoasters.

Wow, really? It's a *quality title where you get to design the rides and basically run your own theme park. A moderately less sociopathic pursuit than what you saw here. :

Thank you for the quality!!!

It was a very addictive game. You could build custom amusement parks with very realistic custom roller coasters. The game play is basically just like the video, but in addition you have to micro and macro manage the park budget and keep your guests happy. You can even drown annoying guests, though it hurts your park popularity. There ware two sequels, the last one in 3D where you could ride the rides. >> ^kymbos:

I'm assuming you know of/understand the concept behind Sim City or similar city building type games? The aim being to make the biggest possible city that runs well and doesn't devolve into crime and poverty?

Well the various 'tycoon' games are all the same thing, just focused on one area of life. So 'rollercoaster tycoon', 'railroad tycoon', 'zoo tycoon', 'brothel tycoon' (ok, I wrote that as a joke, but then thought I should check to see if something similar exists, and lo and behold there is a 'sim brothel' flash game.... I don't know why I ever doubted there would be.

I will be buying the special edition. I hated 2000 and 3000. But the first sim city on SNES and sim city 4 were badass. I'm pretty sure my social life died from these games... and Civiliazation... and counter strike... and Battlefield... and Ceaser III... and GTA... and Roller Coaster Tycoon... and Railroad Tycoon... Can't forget SW X-Wing, Tie Fighter, Rebellion, Jedi outcast, Jedi Academy, Battlefront...

*coolest dad ever, safest roller coaster ever.

You're welcome. It might get yanked too. <IMG class=smiley src="http://cdn.videosift.com/cdm/emoticon/frown.gif">

There seem to be quite a few of them floating around so hopefully I'll always be able to find a replacement.

Yea. I hope you can keep up with them. <IMG class=smiley src="http://cdn.videosift.com/cdm/emoticon/teeth.gif">


Me too!
