RCT – post 55

So I introduced my daughter to Roller Coaster Tycoon on the weekend and now I think she’s hooked. She keeps asking if we can play the rollercoaster game with the tiny people. ^_^

Actually, I have RCT3 on the computer as well. I “acquired” it a while ago to try and she saw me playing it and so she liked to watch (watching means telling me what to do). Now my PC isn’t that great so after a few rides it begins to slow down and not to be much fun, plus we can only play the first park because the others bog down my PC. So I decided to put the old version (plus the expansions) on to see if it might be better for her to play with me.

I set it up and we played and after the first game I asked her if she liked this one or the other one better. She said she liked this one better, and I can see why. I’ve been a HUGE fan of the original RCT for a long time and it was after I put the old one back up I realized my daughter was right. This older version was more fun. Things happen faster and rides are much more fun to build and she loves changing the colours of everything to god awful pinks and oranges. Also tasks are simpler for her to understand, like making sure the tiny people are checking the rides and sweeping the walkway to make sure our park is clean. Plus she likes it when it rains because all the people put out their umbrellas. All of them pink ^_^

My daughter also likes to watch the pukey people get off the rides. She thinks they’re funny. ^_^
