My brother had this game and I wanted to know how to play it so badly but I was the worst park planner at 5 years old so I watched him play it and he let me choose the colors for the tracks... He had recently passed away and I miss him so much. Watching this gameplay brings back so many memories... Thank you for uploading this

For some reason its hard for me to get into video games the way I did as a kid but roller coaster tycoon is one of the few games I can still spend hours playing without blinking. The rails call to me and their song is difficult to resist

Hey man just wanted to let you know that there's something about your videos that just really resonates with me. I'm not sure if it's your slightly frightening interest in optimum strategies and game mechanics, your well-spoken rants about childhood nostalgia, or your general enthusiasm about everything you play, but it's been helping me through a rough patch in my life. I'm always excited to see the notification that you've uploaded and it's gotten me back into some games I haven't played in years like RC2. Keep up the great work and you'll have another patron for life. Much love

I remember buying this game at a scholastic book fair in elementary school. Just hearing the little guest noises brought back so much nostalgia 🥹

Roller Coaster Tycoon was built in Assembly, it's insane.

I got this game in a cereal box. It was awesome!

As much as I can ignore it most of the time, if you could, I would prefer static images on the side. Less distracting for the eyes and brain.

Dude you keep reminding me how old I am by saying "it was great for its time". I remember when RCT came in cereal boxes and it was amazing - BUT it's still amazing! You don't need to keep justifying how great of a game it is, let people watch and see or go down the nostalgia train :)

Ok so there is an Open RCT2 that DOES have a speed up time option. You should totally check that out. Lots of other cool features have been added as well without taking out the fun exploits.

I made my parks so chaotic there was nothing but a list of lost people trying to find the exit.

This game was so iconic, my Grandma, who was 60, had a version of it...and she didn't even own a computer. She just had a copy in case 1 of her grandchildren wanted to play.

In case you haven't figured this out already, un-banked turns really increase the intensity, as does the sharpness of the turns. I remember being really frustrated as a kid years and years ago trying to figure that out.

Hey Ambiguousamphibian, I suggest instead of putting these side bars on the side of the screen to fill in the screen, just include chat or something, it would be a lot less distracting, as you also refer to chat often.

I remember being in elementary school and playing this on the old windows computers. A true classic.

what makes this game so advanced is because it ran extremely well for how it looked back in 1999. chris sawyer wrote all of the code in the computers assembly language which makes it run incredibly well even on very old computers

You're giving them all whiplersh! For higher speed sections always use banked turns to keep the intensity down.

My Lord, that loop coaster. I would always set the launch speed as high as it could go just to send people flying. I once spent hours building the perfect park and then slowly replaced all the rides, where I had room, with the loop. I wanted to see how long it would take to just get a park of death

Parkitect is actually very cool. I'm an old skool fan of RTC as well. Parkitect is basically a direct successor. It works mostly the same way, but is deeper and and has a lot of new content versus RTC. For example, you need to manage supplies for your stores using staff and cargo infrastructure. 'Immersion' is important to your guests, so you need to hide your logistical infrastructure really well using fences, treelines, underground conveyor belts etc. Guests will be unhappy if they see a handyman carrying around a box of burgers. It's kind of a nice touch. There's a ton more to it as well. Overall though, it's fully based on RTC. It makes you think a bit harder about how you build.

that was the most stressful coaster-building i've ever seen. subscribed.

SimCity 4, The sims 1 and now RollerCoaster? I'm just loving it!

The miniature railroad is perfect for this park. Make a loop around the lake with a station at each cardinal direction. Keep everyone moving and spending money.

Oh christ this brings me back! I loved this game. I was GOOD at this game. LOL Might have to locate the disc and fire up the old XP machine. 🤣

I remember my dad having a lot of fun with RCT2 and the Bumbling Bazaar scenario. He'd clear the secnario, demolish everything, and then rebuild the park from scratch because that specific map was huge and let you use every single square.

Would love to see more Roller Coaster Tycoon

Once I went to openrct2 I could never go back.

I was seven when I first played this game; I’m 29 now. At the time, it was the coolest thing I’d ever seen.

I was completely obsessed with this game as a kid! So happy you’re making videos on it, please do more in future :D

There's a certain type of peep who loves intense rides but gets nauseous easily. My kid and I nicknamed them "Barfys." They're the best peep in the game!

Me and my sister would play this game together religiously, we to this day still bring up the coaster we made called “Sin Twister” a silly word play off of “Twin Sister”

I had no idea those things were to bank the ride. I guess everyone in my park circa 1999 ended up with severe whiplash from highspeed flat turns

Roller Coaster Tycoon will forever be the main foundation for which 2 of my lifetime passions were born; Computer gaming, and roller coasters. I can not thank Chris enough for all the work he has done.

I loved this game. I remember meticulously crafting a coaster so ambitious and perilous that at the time of completion, while eagerly awaiting the throngs of fans for thrills, I was astonished to learn that I had crafted something that not even those seeking death itself were willing to chance. Possibly the most hours in a game I've ever spent. I wish I still had that passion...

I cant believe how much of this game stuck with me, now I really want to play it again. Also reminded me of playing 3 and running people over using the James Hunt cheatcode... good times

Oh the nostalgia. Played this a lot as a kid. Best and cheapest rollercoaster you can make I called the corkscrew. Get the one that has a boosted start, go straight up in the air and spiral up and up then end it and don't connect it to the other side. It'll launch up and as long as you made the track shoot up enough it'll stop then fall back down to the platform and finish. I recommend testing it before you open it... Also umbrella store is a little broken. Jack the price up to max and when it rains people will run to them and buy em no matter the price.

really caught me off guard when at some point you were like "hey ASSBEAR, thanks for the sub ASSBEAR"... i had just tuned in to finally drop my sub, but didnt have time to stick around so i didnt recognize it was this vod lol. love you dude, 10/10 stuff as always!

Watching this video on a ultrawide monitor was something else. I have never watch a video with double bars in each side

This was one of the most amazing legendary games ever. I have countless hours into this game and have had to replay the scenarios countless times, but I could care less. It's one of those games you can start playing, leave on for a bit, and can come back to it. It's so creative but strategic in a way. It's quite relaxing. Thanks for your video, and keep creating awesome content!

I often forget there are now people old enough to be on the internet but young enough to not remember a world before the 16:9 aspect ratio became standard

the fact that he refused to put another bathroom in the park for ages lol

That part at 14:25 when AA realizes that you CAN lose in RCT.

You should totally check out The Universim! The narrator is hilarious and the people you control are called Nugets, it's similar to the beaver colony game. Love your videos!

This game brings back soo many memories!! I makes me incredibly happy to see you play this classic game 😁

Just a reminder that the both games were coded completely in Assembly. That's the equivalent of creating everything with toothpicks, but it's fast, blazing unbeatable fast performance.

Planet Coaster is like the evolution of this game. It was a little overwhelming and I've only played it a few hours because of that. But it's definitely the best theme park game I've ever played.

I love this game! My brother and I would always play it when we went to stay at my grandma, so much nostalgia

There is a group of people working on making Rollercoaster tycoon better. The project is called OpenRCT. If you want to play the game, but with some quality of life improvements, OpenRCT is really nice.

I loved this game! More specifically, tormenting the visitors 🤣

I had one of those GBC lamps. That was pre-LED illumination. Like, LEDs were purely for indicators, like how the red LED on the GB and GBC showed how much battery life you had left. Anyway, it was terribly weak, but it still enabled us to play during night time car rides and when the SP came out with its integrated screen light that you could turn off, that's when we knew, we had entered the future

Spent hundreds of hours in this game. Love it. Always love some retro games

RCT is a staple of my childhood. Quick tip: when making paths, use the secondary path making tool. It will allow you to make the ending of the queue line where you want. Also make the queue line first... but love the vids and am missing the old microphone.

I know a lot of people were suggesting static images in the sidebars, but the better solution is simply to upload the video in its original aspect ratio. KZfaq can process videos that aren't 16:9; if you look at older youtube videos you can watch videos in native 4:3. That way all of us with 16:10 displays don't get black bars on the side _and_ bottom.

One trick with big empty premade parks like this is to delete one square of the paths to shrink the area your guests will wander around in. So what I do is not let them walk around the entire lake until I fill the area out with entertainment. Otherwise your guests will just wander around lost not spending money.

Hey, thanks for inspiring me to download this childhood favorite again! On the topic of old games, I highly recommend Pharaoh, if you've never played it. It's a campaign-style city builder/economy management game, full of ancient Egypt facts! Would love to see a video on it someday :)

You sound like Kermit the Frog pretending to be Bob Ross.

I've been getting into RCT and RCT2 for the first time lately, and I gotta say the number of little details the dev thought of and accounted for and the complex ways the various mechanics interact with each other is absolutely mind-blowing for when they came out, and keeps pace with high end games of the management genre today. I've been using OpenRCT2 and with the modern polish and QoL improvements the port adds it's been a surprisingly smooth experience.

Wild that this is now able to be played on phones, we've come so far.

Ahhhh how elegant, Claude Debussy as an intro

It was the number 1 selling game on PC for years.

This brought back so much nostalgia

My magnum opus coaster I named it the "I ran out of money" It was supposed to loop all the way back around, but I got overzealous and lazy at the same time, so instead of returning to the station, it launches you Into the stratosphere with a corkscrew so corkscrew-y that your spine will slide out of your ass before you are sent to meet God, both metaphorically with the sky-launching but also literally because you'll smash into the ground shortly thereafter

This game is just a master piece, even after all those years

23:03 "Paying for bathroom is a violation of human rights" Me: sweating in European

It took me a while to realize he was playing RollerCoaster Tycoon, and not RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. I didn't realize how similar the two games were.

Almost every public restroom in Europe costs 25-50 cents to use

This is genuinely some of the best content I've seen in recent time, couldn't ask for more than what you did with this. In short , thank you.

what kind of monster doesnt even name their rides...

me watching him not open the fry stall for a whole min while panicking.

this guy can talk 24/7 amazing!!!!!

Your coaster being too intense issue is because your sharp turns are causing too many G's. You need to bank them all by using the cart tilt options whenever you make a turn. I promise you that will fix your issue.

For anyone wondering, you can't tab out of the game because it's the games anticheat. You would need to tab out to activate trainers. Tab got patched on the digital download.

1:57:27 idk why but the way you said explosively fat and with such intense velocity broke me lmfao

I watched your Sims City 4 stream over multiple days at work during my down time and just now I've finished this one. I really like these pixilated sandbox games from the late 90s/early 00s. I've actually never seen game play of the origion RCT until now, so it was super interesting to see how it worked. RTC3 was the first game I ever played continuously as a little kid.

Spent so many hours playing this game at night after coming in from playing outside all day..

RCT was such an incredible game, especially considering that it was almost ENTIRELY coded in x86 assembly language 🤯

This game took so many hours of my life. So glad to see you playing it

I think it would be really enjoyable to watch ambiguous amphibian play worlds adrift

If this game had told me to kill my mailman to complete a challenge, I would have.

I have never played this game in my life and feel awful because it looks so fun 😩

Chris Sawyer also made transport tycoon. Looks like the same engine. Transport tycoon was awesome as well

Leafy lake and diamond heights. That takes me back

Green is one of the three primary colours of light along with Red and Blue. That's why if you look at a monitor really close you can see the pixels are RGB. Pigments don't really work the same as light which is why yellow is a primary colour for pigments.

The best way to cheese the game is to make everything in the park dirt cheap/free, but the admission fee to the park excessively huge. Game just forces people to spend 50 bucks just to enter and then they love it because the rides and food are cheap

YOU GO BROKE because you do not embrace the EARLY GAME SCRAMBLED EGGS! :D Nice video

i loved building roller coasters in this game. easiest money maker is the single loop steel coaster. track at end of platform goes straight up w/chain which is how the coaster initially starts, then straight thru station, into loop, into straight up track until coaster loses all momentum, and then it rolls backwards, does the loop and ends in the station. cheap and the cims love it.

Scrambled Eggs might work better out in the open away from the food, so they can digest...then bathrooms all around the exit.

Oh snap! I legit thought I was one of the only people who actually played this on the original Xbox

Played this as a kid on the Xbox. Now I play it as an adult on my iPhone.

Thank you for this trip down memory lane, RCT was indeed a masterpiece for it's time. I believe I've logged more hours on this game than most other games combined.

Watching you not bank the turns on the coaster I knew it would be intense but 13.89 is impressive lol!

watch this stuff ALL DAY !

I never got into the watch people play video games youtube clips and haven't played video games in ages.but I stumbled on the micro park clip on reddit and now your channel is my new favourite thing to watch.Freaken awesome you are so funny,the kindavore pacifist spores clip play through lol god dang I haven't laughed that hard watching stuff in a long time, literally cured my winter blues watching this stuff

Yes please play more retro, I'm in love. I'd love to see simpark

if you are not convinced of openrct yet: it has mowing grass for handymen unchecked by default also 16:9 full hd

Chris Sawyer got his way with Transport Tycoon, also a goldmine, still played in multi

Check out Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic. Combines 1/2 with slightly updated graphics, more zoom options, and most importantly widescreen!

Does he ever figure out to hold shift, hold left click and drag the mouse up and down to change elevation on paths, rides, etc manually? I haven't played this game in 20 years and that's still stuck in my head, haha

I wish AA had a whole series on openrc2

I am probably one of the few that likes those sides lol great vod

A mature shade of red. I love you so much dude

You’d love openrct. It’s a multi platform open source rct2 engine that adds a ton of qol features as well as multiplayer.
