Roller Coaster Tycoon Park # 2

July 20th, 2008

My second original Roller Coaster Tycoon park, since I have started playing it again:

It’s set on Ivory Towers. I used the Martian Landscape option, and I randomly scattered Martian objects around. The name of it is “Mars.” Swinging Ships are replaced by Swinging Spaceships. Go-Karts are replaced by Rover Races. Mazes are replaced by Martian Mazes, et cetera.
I have an obsession with flattening all the land in the entire park to the same level, which doesn’t make sense because the surface of Mars isn’t flat at all, but that’s how I make all my parks no matter what.
Ivory Towers is a great park to mess with because it comes stocked with some Roller Coasters a Monorail. So after you demolish all the coasters and rides and sidewalks you’ve got a nice bundle to restart your park.

Banjo-Kazooie 3: Nuts & Bolts

July 17th, 2008

The release of Banjo-Kazooie 3: Nuts & Bolts is the most upsetting video game release of all-time.
First of all, I’m still angry that the game isn’t called “Banjo Threeie.”
But most of all I’m angry that the game will not be released for any Nintendo-owned console. The series is a classic Nintendo series. It’s like if the next Mario platformer was released only for PlayStation 3. What makes matters worse is the fact that from what I’ve seen in trailers, this game is gonna rock. You get to drive around in self-constructed vehicles blowing stuff up and decapatating large 8-bit Mario statues in order to save Spiral Mountain from being under the control of the evil witch Gruntilda. (In 20 years I’ll read that and say, “Huh?”)
The least they can do is release Banjo-Kazooie and/or Banjo-Tooie on Virtual Console to ease my pain.

Roller Coaster Tycoon Park # 1

July 16th, 2008

I’ve been playing a lot of the original Roller Coaster Tycoon for PC lately. I forgot how fun it is, since I haven’t played it since November 2006. I’ve been making a lot of interesting parks like this one:

It’s very simple if you want to make it. If you can’t see how to make it, here’s how:
- First of all, it’s set originally on Forest Frontiers, the first park of the game.
- Get rid of the sidewalk and any trees in your way.
- Lower the ground one dimension all around the area. (You’ll probably have to take a loan out from the bank. Fortunately you can take out a total of $30,000.)
- Raise one dimension of water in the area you’ve lowered.
- Build rides.

Occasionally, you’ll get a notice that a handyman or a mechanic has drowned, which is strange and unfortunate.
Currently I have no loans out from the bank and a monetary total of about $80,000. I have over 1,000 guests in my park. The name of it is currently “Atlantis,” but it used to be “Water Land.” Another possible name is “Flooded Forest Frontiers.”
