RCT was and still is my favourite game ever in the history of the Universe.

It's just so damn good and so am I at it

And now the sequel

*massive stadium cheer*

I hope it is a bit improved on last time, the same graphics but thats good as it works well and 3D would suck and wouldn't run on my PC

I claimed it for my GAD

Should get it next week

I'm most excited

Anyone know sites with demo or info?

'They', the game is made by one guy, who only really has a freelance sound engineer and a graphic artist for support. Everything else is programmed soley by Chris Sawyer, so perhaps explains the 256 colour system.

Damn! Those yanks are getting the game 3 days earlier than us, and it's british made game. Though I suppose that was to be expected, the Amnericans loved the origanal Rollercoaster Tycoon to death.

Yep, he certainly had his work cut out for him with the millions of code he had to programme himself. Yikes, I'm glad I don't have his job ;)

This game totally rocks! I've had it since it first came out and have both of those expansion packs, I love the snowy themes.

I also love almost drowning random guests but saving them just before they sink, I also love charging the full amount someone has in their pocket to get in as they enter and putting no access signs so people can't get out.

I am evil park owner.
