You almost have to admire their chutzpah (as well as their 30 grand salaries and company cars).
A short news story announced the pending game thus: "The original RollerCoaster Tycoon may be partly responsible for the flood of tycoon games that currently afflicts the PC market, but it was nonetheless a brilliant game." Through the magic of the Infogrames marketing department, this was quoted -in reference to RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. Perversely, Infogrames appears to have inadvertently acknowleged this fact in its promotional material, courtesy of one of the most blatant examples of misquoting we’ve ever seen. That said, without the addition of the number two in the title, even non-simpletons would struggle to tell the difference. Despite being little more than a thinly-veiled homage to Theme Park - arguably the game that started it all - Chris Sawyer’s quirky big dipper ’em up proved a worldwide hit with five million copies being sold.įollowing a couple of largely unnecessary add-ons, this is - as all but the most simple-minded will have already guessed - the full-blown sequel. The dross, namely the original RollerCoaster Tycoon. Derivative nonsense in the main, but one title stands out from We've been bombarded with the likes of Zoo Tycoon, Moon Tycoon, Hotel Giant, Beach Life, not to mention the little-known classic, Chip Shop Manager. In recent years, so-called 'tycoon' games have become something of a byword for mediocrity, with the genre extrapolated to cover the most unlikely of subject matters. Other times you might want to add a new ride here, a new thing there and expand at a slower pace. Sometimes, you have to just stick with what you have for a while to make some money before you can do a big expansion. I would change my prices regularly as well as work on keeping my park fresh. Keeping your park guests happy and spending money is really addictive. Some people may complain about your prices, but the profit margin on stuff like this can be huge and as long as they are having enough fun, you can get away with it. You can do this in many different ways, but for me, the best way is by making stuff like your food and drinks as expensive as they can be. One way that is fun to make some serious money in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 is by fleecing your park patrons for everything they have. You may lack the budget to do this so you have to be very smart with the way you go about expanding your park.
While you may want to expand your park at a rate that is just insane. It is the best game that ever came out in the 20 centuries that i lived in.You see a huge part of the game is keeping your budget in check. This game is so cool, but it just takes too DAMN long to load. Roller coaster tycoon is ok but how come its always complaining baboon 1 is sick the lion is bored guest are tired i made it perfect not my fault i let a lion losse and k8illed off most of my employees
