As the name suggests, coaster building is the main attraction, but you can also design other rides such as a go-kart track or jet ski course, for example. While many rides are pre-designed and simply involve your placing and maintaining them, there are quite a few that allow you to go a step further and actually design them. The building mechanics simply involve you plopping down pathways for guests to walk on, vegetation and scenery objects to make everything look good, and, of course, rides to keep the spirit of fun flowing. In the various scenarios, there are objectives to complete that typically involve having a certain park value and/or having a certain number of guests inside your park at once. You’re given the task of either running existing amusement parks or creating your own from scratch. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is both relatively simple and complex at once. But now that it’s been 16 years since its initial release, does this iconic “gem” of a tycoon sim still shine today? The result was a pretty sweet package that fans loved. As the first entry in the 3D realm, RCT3 took the core elements of its predecessors and gave them a new lease on life, along with some (at the time) new features. Like many popular PC series that began in the ’90s, this one eventually made the transition to 3D as RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, exactly what we have here today on Nintendo Switch with the Complete Edition. RollerCoaster Tycoon is a series that still ignites a flame of passion in gamers all around.
