RCT3It just occured to me that no one has mentioned anything about RCT3. I play it all the time.... or at least when possible lol. So do any of yall play this or used to play it? |

I play it in my free time. Very fun, although I prefer No Limits for coaster creation. | ||

Re: RCT3
I really like RCT3, but RCT 1&2 are easier to just "play" you don't have to worry about rendering lag etc... As of now, I have RCT1 installed w/both expansion packs on an older computer of mine, and I play it from time to time. For school, I had to get a laptop, so I bought a Macbook. Great computer, but Windows software can not run on it.  hopefully one day Ill get the Mac version of RCT3 and play it again.
but to answer the question, I have played it, it is a great game! --Daniel L |

i definitely agree with that, but rct is more fun because you get to manage the whole park |

^ Yea if I'm specifically designing a coaster, then I'll use NoLimits. For a theme park.... I go aaaaaaall out in RCT3 lol. I make so many dark rides and heavily themed roller coasters on that game lol. | ||

Oh man! RTC is my favorite game hands down! lol.
I agree with Daniel too. When I’m in the mood for designing a nice park layout with simple game play (without the rendering hassles), then I’ll play RTC 1&2. When I’m in the mood for a more immersive experience, I’ll play RTC3. Because of the memory of my machine, I can’t make large parks on RTC3 like I can on RTC 1&2. I also like the expansion packs on RTC2 better. Can’t beat the Art Deco & 50’s rock’n roll theming found in the “Time Twister” pack! Some imaginary parks I made with Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 were: Columbia Pictures Palace (inspired by the studio parks) Feature ride: Apollo 13: The ride (“Houston, we have a problem”) - A B&M dive machine coaster with a space theme. Actually, I’d like to see a real attraction based on this movie but as a motion simulator. King’s Emporium (inspired by Kings Dominion) includes a crazy replica of the Eiffel Tower in the center of the park. Feature ride: The Yeti – A mine train ride “inspired” by Expedition Everest. A Mine Train goes up, around and through a mountain in search of the Yeti. I was eventually able to add some fog effects/custom scenery from a fansite. I know that Shyguy’s World has some has some awesome custom scenery. I was amazed at the custom Disney/ “Main Street” sets there. I just wished that RCT3 was able to integrate custom elements as easily as say the Sims 2 game. Many times my RTC3 games crashed with custom scenery. It could have been errors on my part with installation and/or my computer’s memory. However, after much frustration, I took out the custom scenery all together and things worked well again. To take a look at his material go here: Shyguy’s site is http://www.shyguysworld.com/ |

^ Huge custom scenery buff here. Very familiar with shyguy's scenery too. I hate the fact that I can't do more with RCT3 because of the lag. I would be on that game 24/7 if it were less or no lag. | ||

this guy mattat14 also makes some pretty awesome scenery

I'm on RCT3 all the time. Heck, I'm so into it that I am the founder and president of one of the bigger production groups out there, Backwards Productions. And, as always, I'm Rollerman87 on youtube as well

I really don't like RCT3. Like RCT1&2 still more. Don't want those extra's. Just couldn't get used to the 3d view. | ||
| Doug_Barnes |
^Not just that... but the system that 1 & 2 uses makes realistic sense. Three is just to "fantasy" in my opinion... Nick thinks I'm full of crap.

I originally hated RCT3, especially its graphics, and still everytime I see a pic from RCT2/1, I miss those games. The thing I do like about RCT3, however, is the fact that there is a bit more you can do because of the cameras (around the park, Onride cam, etc.), whereas RCT2/1 had the restriction on what you could and couldn't see. | ||
| tommazy |
I really like all of the rct games but I don't play rct 3 that much any more because it lags so much with custom scenery | ||
| wazomike |
i completely agree with this because i started out not liking 3 at all but it really grows on you but i also really miss rct 1&2 did anyone else play rct 1 on xbox like i did? i also played it on pc but the xbox version seemed like it was much easier to make money for some reason and i was wondering if anyone else noticed that too. |
