RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures brings casual family friendly theme park fun to the Nintendo Switch and PC. Design, and manage the ultimate theme park! From over 200 wacky rides, restaurants, shops and decorations for your park, from the humble Merry-go-Round to the death-defying Roto-Drop, all featuring advanced shaders and effects. Dec 13, 2018 RollerCoaster Tycoon Joyride Soar through the sky with RollerCoaster Tycoon Joyride™, a fully immersive, roller coaster builder and rider exclusively for PlayStation® 4 and enhanced for PlayStation® VR. RollerCoaster Tycoon is a simulation strategy computer game series that simulates theme park management and roller coaster design. The first two games were developed by MicroProse and Chris Sawyer and published by Hasbro Interactive and later Infogrames (today Atari SA), and they were widely praised for their originality and success in simulating a theme park.
RollerCoaster Tycoon® 3 is completely updated and redesigned to take the RCT series to all-new heights. Featuring incredible 3D graphics and the all new Coaster Cam™, you can now see your park from any angle and ride the rides you build. From street level to blimp, see your park pulse with fun and excitement like never before!
With all new night mode, you can view your park at night from all angles. You may know what your park looks like during the day, but at night, the lights turn on, and it shows your park in a whole new light.
Expansion packs RCT3: Soaked! and RCT3: Wild! added many exciting new features - namely water parks and animal habitats - as well as countless additional rides and coasters. And, now that the RCT3 developers have effectively abandoned the game, the community has taken over, offering all sorts of new innovations, from custom scenery, to custom flat rides, and even custom coaster types.

A wildly fun primordial Tycoon game.
After playing RollerCoaster Tycoon for a few hours, you’ll find that the fun is wildly contagious. Unlike other strategy games, RollerCoaster Tycoon, perhaps more befitting its corporate master Hasbro than its actual publisher MicroProse, seems more concerned with surrounding the player in the fun parts of managing an amusement park. As a business simulator / park builder, it succeeds admirably.
As with Sawyer’s previous game Transport Tycoon, RollerCoaster Tycoon is not particularly challenging to win. You can blast through all of the pre-made scenarios without a lot of struggle. Most of their challenges are geographical in nature, as in how do you manage to squeeze another ride into your cramped little park? Unlike Bullfrog’s underachieving Theme Park, a game which RollerCoaster Tycoon can’t help but be compared with, it never forces the player to get bogged down in the minutia of running a park. And while you can design your own rides, the supplied ones are more than adequate (and somewhat less frustrating to use due to the slightly clumsy interface of the ride builder).
Although building the perfect coaster is where you’ll eventually spend the majority of your gaming time, you also have do much more to win. This isn’t just about building rollercoasters, but managing the less glorious minutia of running a fun park – all of which the game manages to integrate. You’ll need to manage foot traffic by creating paths to and from your various rides, balance thrill rides with more casual attractions (Ferris wheels and such), set pricing, and hire mechanics, handymen and security guards. The game is divided into scenarios. Only a few are available in the beginning, but once they’re completed, you get access to the rest.
Presentation wise, the sound effects are superb, with giggles and screams, annoying carousel music, and the clanking of coasters. Visually, RollerCoaster Tycoon is nice and sharp. The ridiculous cartoony graphics do a superb job at conveying a lot of information in a typical windows format. Beautiful details abound on a micro level. Little people run around the park all giddy after getting off a very fun ride, and others stumble and fumble their way around, their faces green with the sickness brought by riding a rollercoaster.
Overall, RollerCoaster Tycoon is the most purely entertaining strategy game in ages, one that’s virtually guaranteed to put a smile on the face of even the most jaded gamer. It’s a wildly exuberant game that reminds us that fun is an honorable goal for any entertainment medium, even one as “serious” as a strategy game.
