Show off your Rollercoaster Tycoon stuff!
« on: June 01, 2013, 07:01:44 pm »
Recently, I picked up rollercoaster tycoon 2 again, and I liked it more than I had planned. Especially building nice parks is cool IMO. So yeah, do you have any awesome parks you want us to see? Post 'em here and show off you park!
if you decide to attach the save file, please mention the version of rollercoaster (if 1 or 2, 3 should be obvious enough from the screens) and if you use any mods.
Cheers!

PS. I'm adding my own parks to here tomorrow.

I might start playing again just because I haven't in a while and you just posted this...

I'll do something... maybe...

I never played it personally but at one point I shoudl give it a try, since I got a copy years ago in cereal boxes. Not sure if that copy will run on Windows Seven, though...

That's where I got my copy too :D Anyhow, it should run on Windows 7, it did for me. Also I'll post my two parks soon.

Ah ok good, but how old is your copy? Sometimes, the game may run fine on Windows 7, but not the installer. I have this problem with Starcraft Brood War and my TI CD. In Starcraft case, I have to download a new installer that is 2 GB large after entering my CD key online. >.<

It's at least 5~6 years old but it worked pretty well.

RCT2 is pretty much the only one I was able to make work correctly in Wine. You might want to enable the compatibility thing and set it to Windows 98.

I finally cleared my sig after 4 years you're happy now?

Ok thanks. My copy is from around 2004-06.

Compatibility modes are useless. I wouldn't be surprised if all they did was nothing other than setting your Windows version to another one. In fact, I think they're broken and usually do nothing at all. Since 2003, I've been only ever able to fix one compatibility problem with compatibility mode on Windows. Running as administrator tends to help more in my case.

Erm, RCT and RCT2 are 100% written in assembly, with only the windows frontend written in C.
Anyways, I'm now trying to create a park that kicks ass in both rides and looks, and I'll be posting screenies soon :D

Well, I played RCT2 yesterday, all I did is to increase the bank loan tenfold, build 3-4 expensive rides and hire personnel all named Tyler Durden who can't keep up with cleaning everything (you're idiot cleaning all this barf is way more important than mowing the grass). Yet I won the most proper park award. And for those who follow the Montréal student protests I also named a security officier Matricule 728 (a particularly evil policewoman) and an animator in a panda costume Anarchopanda (a philosophy teacher in a panda costume).

Do you guys want my computer generated .sv4 of a rollercoaster that reaches the game's internal speed limit? It requires the Dragons IOA 6 trainer.
Keep trying.
