Hello fellow RCT fans

[cparkes92]

I've been a fan of the RollerCoaster Tycoon series since I bought the original RCT (with no expansions) at one of those school book fairs in fifth grade (just before RCT2 came out). I got RCT2 for Christmas that year and I played it for years and years (through two computer crashes) until I moved to college and got a laptop (which wouldn't play RCT2, but would play RCT3 no problem). I found OpenRCT2 while looking for ways to run RCT2 on Windows 7 after getting laid off from my job of a year and a half (thanks decreased oil prices), so now I'm able to play RCT2, which is my favorite game in the series, for the first time in six years! This time, I'm actually playing through the scenarios and as of now I've beaten all the original scenarios save two of the Six Flags parks (Great Adventure and Over Texas), most of the Wacky Worlds scenarios, and a few of the Time Twister scenarios.

There are very few people who would say that RCT3 is better then 2, and there is absolutely no one who would say RCT1 is better then 2, especially when you take into account the remade scenarios from RCT2 Base

I'd say rct1 is better than rct2, but openrct2 is better than rct1. Rct2 just threw everything at you as if it was nothing which is good for the sandboxers, but that's not me. Player experience is more than just having the scenarios.

Welcome cparkes! I hope you enjoy the forums.

I agree with jensj, RCT1 had better gameplay, but RCT2 is a better sandbox tool.

Guess there is that argument that i overlooked, heh.
