I always have a soft spot when this goes on sale (Cannon Fodder and Sensible Soccer, too). It's down from £4.69 and is just fantastic.
To put it down in comparison...RollerCoaster Tycoon World is £2.99. See the deal? :smiley:
Think you can design and build the greatest amusement park in the world? You select the site, you layout the rides. In fact, you control every aspect of running a profitable amusement park; from hiring employees, to developing new rides, to maintaining an adequate supply of soft drinks. Any mistakes, and the bustling hordes of fun-seekers will let you know. Oh, and that Merry-Go-Round in flames is a clue too.
Select from dozens of rides and attractions.
Experience fireworks, weather effects, and more!
Keep your employees happy, or be forced into some real-time deal making.
Visit the Bank Manager to keep an eye on your cash flow.
Check the park status screen to see what your visitors are thinking. You'd better build a burger stand, the little peeps are getting hungry!
If you can value your time at 60p per hour, you really should grab this classic.

Oh man, I can still remember the excitement of buying the CD-ROM version of this - still have it too:
I do remember handymen and mechanics always getting stuck in the middle of nowhere though :disappointed: Of course, by the time I'd noticed, half my rides were bust and there was a vomit epidemic.

this game stole many years of my childhood, brilliant game but the theme music and sound effects were so repetitive they still give me headaches lol

I got a similar crash screen a few minutes after starting the game. :disappointed: Right clicked it and chose Windows 7 in compatibility mode and now seems okay, but only tried it for a few minutes.

I had not heard of Gog.com, delighted to see so many classic games on there (even Populous) so will give some of them a go.

Putting a drinks stall next to a fries stall.
Put loads of ice into the drinks and loads of salt on the fries, maximise profits!
Putting too much fat into the burgers next to a thrill ride tended to result in lots of vom though..

Might be worth playing around with resolution, if i max res on Quake the menu is so tiny so you have to just find the res that has everything a suitable size for you. For crashes and that (this worked on windows 7 before) if u go into the game properties (right click icon - properties - compatibility) you can "run as windows xp" something like that and it should run much smoother, i used to this alot but never really have the issue anymore (windows 10 64bit)

It must be even more of a kick in the teeth to see that even the prices up to £19.99 didn't even receive the reception you did mate :disappointed: If it's any consolation, you got heat from me :smile:

i have had nothing but trouble trying to play older games on my PC , AOE the writing was tiny and considering i was sat on couch with wireless keyboard made it unplayable and other old titles seem to like to change all my desktop icons , random crashes etc etc
anyone confirm this runs smooth ?

I didn't notice any noticeable issues when I played it. I played it on a Mac, though. If you're gonna see issues when gaming, it's going to be on a Mac :smile:

Thanks for the heads up Buzz, I keep passing on this and SimCity 2000. Still have the disks for those games. May be worth biting finally since I fancy a game of them :smile:
