Themepark or the Rollercoaster Tycoon series?
Okay ive just had this discussion with phizzy and he seems to think themepark was better but im so damn sure Rollercoaster tycoon allowed you to be more creative and gave bigger selection.(not that im biasing this in any way). I brought it up because of the new rollercoaster tycoon 3 expannsion being released tommorow- anyone into this game? Its ok if u like that kinda thing but my computers too slow to run it at the moment...

Roller Coaster Tycoon is bigger and better in terms of variety and openendedness (yay for making up words), but honestly I had a lot more fun playing ThemePark.

Yeah, roller coaster tycoon allows you to build HUGE roller coasters, theme park(im guessing) just allows you to make small ones but ride in them. ?

Themepark.
Heh I still even have my old Theme Hospital. But yeh I got bored of RCT after like a day from just doing the same things over and over again, plus I found it more dull than themepark.
This is a signature. Have this one on me.

RollerCoaster Tycoon no doubt. RCT1 was great, but RCT2 is the best, not such a big fan of the 3rd one though. Even though its 3D, its ALOT more hassle then it is fun & personally, I like the second one a hell of alot better. I dont really see myself buying the expansion pack, nor getting the CD for the game out much anymore. I still play RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 with both expansion packs, very good game. Ok, so maybe you cant ride your rollercoasters in it, but I'd rather build a thribing themepark that I cant ride rides in, then a 3D one, always in debt because I cant work around the growing lag, as more & more guests enter the park. As for your question, if anyone was into the game, I'd have to say I've been into the game for around 4-5 years, little bit after the original one game out I guess, still play the game, still love the game, that & SimCity 4, but I play RCT2 more often then SimCIty 4.

I havent played Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 or 2. Ive got RCT 3, it's good but there were absolutely tonnes of bugs in it as Atari rushed it out in time for Christmas, although after 2 patches its much better. Another problem with RCT 3 you need a tank of a PC to run it smoothly, I have an Athlon 64 3000, 1GB RAM, Radeon 9600XT, Audigy 2, way above the recommended spec, and the sound glitches up and the frame rate chugs at a snails pace once youve built rides and everything on half the available land.
Ahh, Theme Park, I remember my brother got it when it came out and we had to upgrade to 8MB RAM to run it, although it was worth it, built some amazing parks with that game.

I think the only reasion the expansion pack for RCT3 is worth buying, is tunnles. Because they rushed RCT3, they didnt add tunnles into the original RCT3, so now they think they can make it up in expansion packs. Personally, I can wait until they have there heads on just a little bit more. The game is full of bugs, its slow, its a hassle to build stuff... RCT2 is pretty much everything RCT1 should have been, & more. Making a 3D RCT game was a very good idea, but they ended up trashing it do to rushing the game & not spending nearly enough time on it. I think I'll stick with RCT2.  Alot better then SimCoaster, I know that much for sure.
