I played TPW and Rollercoaster tycoon but Theme Park original still has a special place in my heart lol (sad I know).
I recently dug out theme hospital too and the humour in it still makes me smile. I was hoping to get my daughter to play it but it was a bit too involved, she has a couple of zoo ones that are aimed at a slightly younger age group that she plays though.

Kim Dzong scream scream scream scream DIABLO IS NOT A RPG scream scream heart heart wink it's a hack & slash game with ELEMENTS of a RPG game 3nodding What I actually meant was they were my all time favourite games - regardless of what genre they come from. Cleary the sentence that sparked that over reaction gave the wrong impression but I don't consider the Diablo games rpg's.
I'm hoping to buy Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin when I get some wages from my new (possibly only temp) job, the rom doesn't work on my supercard & to be honest I'm an item snob anyway.

good strategy is to make your park grow slowly at the start pay back the debt you have, make as much rides as you can and ALWAYS keep your money level above 0 ... it's slow but it works xD im trying to install Command And Conquer 3 this moment ninja im a BIG fan of the series since i played Red Alert , 12y ago or so :O ! and i've downloaded the FPS S.T.A.L.K.E.R .. i was really looking forward to it, i've been waiting for this game for 5y.. but im dissapointed crying

I haven't played any of the RCT games, but one strategy I remember learning in TP was to place the exit of one ride so it leads right to the entrance of another, so your guests just naturally go into it.

Eirwyn I haven't played any of the RCT games, but one strategy I remember learning in TP was to place the exit of one ride so it leads right to the entrance of another, so your guests just naturally go into it. yes, that worked well on the first 2 RCT games, but they've intentioally changed the gameplay for the 3rd one. i went looking for help pages online because i was having so much trouble with it, and found a statement saying'any previous stategies you have formed wont work for RCT3' crying i want to go and play on it now ! i'm determined to finish this one park i'm playing on but am forever grinding to a halt on it! it's some fright night thing aimed at teens, all the rides are goth/vamp style things. the park's open from 2PM to 2AM and it rains the whole time it's dark! and i did drown a few people last time i played it ninja that doesn't seem to effect the game though twisted

The teens probably thought that made it more Goth & creepy having people actually die in the park. rolleyes Of course, the people in these games are pretty apathetic about what happens to themselves or each other. When people got whipped off my rollercoasters in TP they'd practically go into orbit sometimes (or fly straight at you), but I'd always find them wandering around on the very back edge of the park, disoriented & annoyed, nothing more. lol
I hate it when a good series suddenly decides to completely change how you play. Don't they realise the gameplay is part of the appeal? It might as well be a different series. They did that to Phantasy Star 3; the story doesn't match up to the world & continuity in 1 & 2, all the monsters are new, & the gameplay is different. The saving grace of the game is the interesting fact that it spans generations & you essentially create the next hero by deciding who the current hero will marry, and ultimately your choices will affect the powers of the final hero who goes up against the end boss. There are several possible heroes you could get to play & the storyline is affected by each choice, with I think 3 possible finales. That's pretty cool, but the game just doesn't feel much like a Phantasy Star game...& in this case it was because the developers were different. I think Team Sonic created the original PS & they got dragged off to make a new Sonic game or something. :X Team Sonic came back to make 4 at least & they made an awesome, long game with all the cool stuff we loved in the original games plus a lot more! heart
