Rollercoaster Tycoon 2. I was part owner of one of the bigger fansites and we made custom parks with set criteria all the time. The big parks took weeks of work to get all the rides to have high ratings, make the decor really nice and to follow themes that we set for ourselves. It really brought out the creativeness in a lot of people in the community.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 by far. I loved making go kart tracks.

The Rollercoaster tycoon games Win for me, because they were a better version of Theme Park. Plus building custom coasters is always fun. I used to track 1 guest and then force him to ride everything until he got sick.

This reminds me, I used to build deadly coasters that I would open without testing and force them to wait for a full train. Once the coaster would leave the track I would close the ride and it wouldn't track the intensity so more people would get on after I reopened it.

It's just the best!

Since there is so much love for Rollercoaster Tycoon I just thought I should mention that Rollercoaster Tycoon 3D is coming out soon.

It is. And that's AWESOME.

I loved the Rollercoaster Tycoon games. I honestly really like most Tycoon games, and had a lot of love for Monopoly Tycoon, as weird as it was.

Ive never played any of those. What do you do? Just build parks?

Yup its all about managing your own theme park. You can build custom roller coasters, flume rides and go cart tracks. You have different landscapes to play with and can rename everything so you can theme it how you see fit. I used to play an Egypt themed park in the middle of the desert and it was awesome.

Definitely doesnt appeal to my "RPG or nothing" genre! :P

Its an RPG. You play the role of a theme park owner, complete with micro management. ha

Touche! But its a different role. I dont want to be the role of the business owner. I want to be the role of the superior dragon asskicker!

Oh damn. gog.com has Rollercoaster Tycoon Deluxe for 5 bucks. hmm

Bought it and it's still as awesome as I remember. I was tempted to buy Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 instead, but nostalgia wouldn't let me. Of course, I pretty much just bought the 2nd expansion from GoG.com, because I already own the original game and Corkscrew Follies on disc.
