Yes, the graphics are dated, and there are some glitches in the pseudo-3D rendering, and playing it in a window instead of good old 800X600 fullscreen (which is an option by the way), will likely leave you squinting at some of the text. This is absolutely and completely not the case here. I have had plenty of experiences where games that I used to love just haven’t held up over time, even though I put on a big old pair of nostalgia goggles when I play them. The very first scenario of the base game, Forest Frontiers, also serves as the game’s tutorial level. There is no campaign mode – all the scenarios play independently of the others. You can only access the first five scenarios in each category, however, each time you complete a scenario, another one unlocks. The Deluxe version, which is available both on GoG.com and Steam not only includes the 22 scenarios in the base game, but both expansion packs, which add another 60 scenarios, as well as new types of attractions & scenery. I mean, who doesn’t want to build their own theme park, complete with vomiting guests you have to clean up after and grass that needs to be mown? Okay, so maybe it’s not as glamorous as all that, but the one thing it is, even almost 20 years later, is an awful lot of fun. I’m pretty sure the original Rollercoaster Tycoon is where my love of all games “Tycoon” began.
