We didn’t need 1080p, 60 FPS, flimity-flamity – we had pixels and by God, we liked it. Games were simpler but they were fun. Take RollerCoaster Tycoon – we kids would gather around the old Personal Computer and have a ball, just laying out our theme park, collecting revenue and loving it. And now, we can relive those glory days once again, with RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic. Even after all these years, its simple, addictive formula still holds up and will have you glued to your PC just like the first time around.","https:\u002F\u002Fcogconnected.com\u002Freview\u002Frollercoaster-tycoon-classic-review\u002F","2017-10-23","85",85,{"id":72,"author":73,"outlet":76,"summary":81,"review_url":82,"review_date":52,"original_score":83,"normalized_score":84},68564,{"id":74,"name":75},203,"Jordan Biordi",{"id":77,"logo":78,"name":79,"website_url":80,"score_format":49},2,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FCGMagazine-Logo.jpg","CGMagazine","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.cgmagonline.com","RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic is a little bumpy and not particularly well-built for the Switch, but ultimately this classic ride is still a lot of fun.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.cgmagonline.com\u002Freview\u002Fgame\u002Frollercoaster-tycoon-classic\u002F","8\u002F10",75,{"id":86,"author":87,"outlet":90,"summary":95,"review_url":96,"review_date":97,"original_score":69,"normalized_score":70},90843,{"id":88,"name":89},7746,"Katelyn Lawlor",{"id":91,"logo":92,"name":93,"website_url":94,"score_format":65},130,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGamingTrend-Logo.jpg","GamingTrend","https:\u002F\u002Fgamingtrend.com","Yes, the core gameplay of building rides, adjusting prices, etc is all Roller Coaster Tycoon is. But I think this is a game you can get dozens of hours of enjoyment from if you enjoy something that rewards experimentation and trying new things.
