Feb 11, 2016 I recently found my original Rollercoaster Tycoon cd rom that i bought back in 1999 and wanted to give it another go. I have managed to install it on to my Windows 10 x64 laptop but i cannot get it to run. I execute the.exe file but nothing happens. I have tried all of the compatability setting to no avail. Sep 05, 2017 The Xbox One Backward Compatibility program recently surpassed 400 supported titles, and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down, with Microsoft announcing two more games are joining the service today.
Metal Gear Rising and Screamride are now available listed as Xbox One backward compatible games.
Xbox Live Director of Programming Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb announced that two new games are available on Xbox One backward compatibility as of today. Hack and slash title Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and construction puzzle simulator Screamride are now available.
A spinoff of the Metal Gear series, Metal Gear Rising: Revengance was released on February 19th, 2013 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360 and for PC in 2014. Developed by Platinum Games, produced by Kojima Productions and published by Konami Metal Gear Rising is set four years after the events of Metal Gear Solid 4 players control Raiden as he confronts a Private Military Corporation (PMC) known as Desperado Enforcement. Unlike the Metal Gear games which are stealth-based, Metal Gear Rising‘s gameplay is action-oriented, similar to the Bayonetta series.
Screamride is a puzzle game released on March 3rd, 2015 on Xbox 360 and Xbox One and was developed by Frontier Developments and published by Microsoft Studios. Often referred to as a “spiritual successor” to RollerCoaster Tycoon, the game features more than fifty levels to try as well as three gameplay modes. Engineer where players must solve development puzzles for a roller coaster and thrill rides to meet certain conditions by using limited resources. ScreamRider, which allows players to can ride and take control of the coasters, with the goal of trying to stay on the rollercoaster for the entire ride, and Demolition Expert, where you can demolish environments and various objects.

Expansion Packs[edit]
Why does it state that there is only one expansion pack for this game? I'm sure there are two. --Funnykidrian 06:10, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
expansion packs[edit]
I wrote that there was one.It as written 2 before but i changed it because this game was first advertised the same time the loopy landscapes game came out and i also think that the first expansion pack was never released in the uk.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rossyboy10 (talk • contribs) .
- Added Attractions was released in the UK, I remember buying it. It was later also included on the Loopy Landscapes disc. Makron1n 19:46, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
ThemePark[edit]
Wouldn't a reference to the similarities between Bullfrog's Theme Park and Tycoon be good?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.137.255.221 (talk • contribs) .
- Only with a reliable source making the comparison.--Drat(Talk) 15:40, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Sigh... You don't need a reference to a comparison. As long as the listed features in both games' WP articles are from reliable sources, you can compare the games yourself - just link to the Theme Park article. That said, don't go too far and start to guess the reasons behind the differences or anything like that.--Almost Anonymous 14:55, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Software Issues[edit]
This section, recently added by 71.60.109.223, is unsourced. Can someone confirm that the game can't be installed on XP? 03:02, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- It's untrue. The game can be properly run using compatibility settings and a patch. There was a section with the correct info some time ago, except I can't find that edit. I will fix it. --FlyingPenguins 05:30, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
i have both expansion packs, completed over half the scenarios (of the original, haven't had time for the expansion scenarios yet), with no problems, in x64 Windows 7 with following settings for RTC.exe: http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/4051/rctexecompat.pngDivinity76 (talk) 23:01, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
RCTTOWN link no more[edit]
Just a note, rcttown on the links part has shutdown and the link should be removed or replaced with: http://rollercostertime.com—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Skullbird11 (talk • contribs) 16:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC).

Error??[edit]
It states in the Expansion area:
On many of the scenarios in Loopy Landscapes, the player is given an unlimited amount of time to complete the objective. There are even some scenarios in this expansion pack where the player has an unlimited amount of time and cash to attract a very high number of guests to the park; the only catch is that the player must maintain a high park rating or the park will close.
The sentences controdict them selves. I've played Roller Coaster Tycoon, and know that NOT ALL scenarios are unlimited. I will change the unlimited, to limited, because ingame, they give you usually give something like this: YEAR x, MONTH x androo123
Reference removed, no longer active;[edit]
http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1546&Itemid=2 referring to Atari being sued by the creator. This still needs to be cited by a reliable source.
This is under the section History, and contained within 'For his efforts, Chris received over $30 million[2] of the 180 million brought in by the highly popular game'.

Easter Egg/Cheats?[edit]
No references to the interesting little hidden quirks in RCT? Such as naming guests with the names of developers to make them do specific things (ie: name a guest Chris Sawyer and he will stay happy no matter what). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.88.188.242 (talk) 19:02, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
- Trivia like that is generally not needed, unless it is somehow significant.--Drat(Talk) 19:46, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
