I found my CD in a pile of computer stuff. It is a lot of fun. And addicting.
I'm not normal. Because normal is stupid. And stupid is normal.

I found it when I was looking at Chris Sawyers wikipedia.

I played Rollercoaster Tycoon for years, and I like these kind of games like Locomotion so yeah..
Now I play it every now and then.

This thread should be titled "How do people keep finding this thread."

May the force be with you.
For little boys, three things reign as supreme attention-keepers: tanks, heavy construction equipment, and trains, we all know why where here.

My mistake :P

At least they're only 2-month bumps for the most part.

Bumpity-bump. Not really this time, but hey. I found mine at 5-below in 2005, tried it and couldn't figure it out (I was 7 and refused to use the tutorials), let it gather dust for a year, then found it. You can infer the "Hmm, what's this?" caption when my 8-year-old self found the disk in a heap. Installed it, played for a few months, found this place, joined in 2007. Eventually got myself booted out of here for being a kid, quit for a year, then got back into it last year and as a new years resolution, rejoined the forums. I'm baaaaaaack! This is why I'm familiar with most of the mods and users and where stuff is, though all these old bridges I never saw before are really throwing me for a loop. Surely they were common map dependencies in 2010?

For several years I assumed that this game was 3D, with limited detail (because fewer 3D trains and objects can fit on a map) and "dumbed down". So I ignored it. But I was apparently thinking of another game. Recently I stumbled upon an opinionated comparison of this game with Railroad Tycoon, after I entered a train engine model in the web search engine. The discussion linked to a few screenshots which were immediately familiar to me, if only "colder" and slightly more silly (RCT style). I'm gonna clear my mind and give the title a shot to see how much of TTDPatch it has implemented.

Almost none, I'm afraid.

My dad apparently bought it when it first came out, I was about 5 then. Found the CD in a box of CD's and was like "I wonder what this game is like?" I was 9 then. Been playing it ever since!
