• Well I'm going to go cry myself to sleep now

  OpenRCT2 is honestly the best implementation of Rollercoaster Tycoon for Android. It is the original RCT2 that you can run on your Android device. It also has Scenarios and the best sandbox mode. Setup is kinda long but ultimately worth it. Source: 12 months ago

• Whats your favorite childhood video game?

  Alright, but seriously (well that's serious, too), have you tried OpenRCT2? It's a free fan-made launcher for RCT2 that can also import RCT1 scenarios so you can play both. You have to own the games and point to an install of them for the assets, so they stay out of legal trouble. Source: about 1 year ago

• What would happen if another country that went to the moon just decided to knock over the American flag?

  I loved making the shuttle launch coaster on Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 and making the drop longer than the end, so the whole coaster just launches off of the tracks. Source: over 1 year ago

• Please help my niece!

  If you still have the discs for 1 and 2 and a pc for her to use. I recommend installing the discs and install OpenRTC2 a free mod by players. It patches the game for newer windows os and hardware. Uses and merges files from both rct1 and 2 files (that is why you need them installed). Introduces new features that official rollercoaster tycoon re-releases do not have. A multiplayer mode for you and your niece if you... Source: over 1 year ago
