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...

Sicilian...half....the half that cares about funerals and family-thanks for sparkin' the radar again-I am real hi tonight. Must be the genes-

Really cool..

However, I noticed something odd about the crowd nosies. If you listen closely, part of the crowd audio is most definitely taken from Roller Coaster Tycoon. First noticed around 1:40.

I don't know if anyone else played that game enough to recognise the sounds.
