Please help me improve this Intermediate RCT Loopy Landscapes reference guide. I can be contacted through the host:
jumpjetinfo@yahoo.com. I would be especially grateful if anyone could test the items marked "[NOT TESTED]".
An interview with Chris Sawyer.
RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 is very similar to RCT, but with the advantage that you can build vertically. Most of the information in this RCT Loopy Landscapes reference guide also applies to RCT2. Utilities, scenarios, and other enhancements to RCT2 (including the Steve Franks RCT2 Track Packs) can be found at this
RCT2 Gopher selector.
Here is a
playable demo of original RollerCoaster Tycoon. It is a full working version of the actual game, with the exception that you cannot Save or Load "Saved Games". This demo is a great way to introduce new players to RollerCoaster Tycoon (do NOT install the demo on a computer that already has RollerCoaster Tycoon installed).
