Filip Brož A real delicacy from the turn of the century has made its way onto the displays of iPhones and iPads. I personally spent a good part of my childhood with her. I mean the building strategy RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic, which is adapted for touch devices and combines the best of the first two parts of this legendary game. Just like on PC, there are dozens of parks waiting for you on iOS, which you have to lead to well-being and prosperity.
At first glance, it is a completely faithful copy of the original game. There are also pixel graphics and original music. In total, more than 95 scenarios await you, located in diverse environments, from ordinary meadows to forests and mountains to deserts and jungles. At the same time, you have some tasks in each scenario. Sometimes you start with an already finished amusement park, but it does not make money and does not prosper. You have to change not only the attractions, but also hire new employees or rebuild the sidewalks. Elsewhere, on the contrary, you start on a green field.
Other tasks, among other things, revolve around the number of customers, their satisfaction and the funds earned within a specified time limit. Elsewhere, you will have to build a certain number of roller coasters and other attractions. The important thing is that you can adapt each attraction to your own image. You can change not only the track itself, but also its color, design, surrounding elements and the price of the ride and its duration. In a similar way, you can modify any attraction from a pirate ship to a house of horrors, a chain link, boats to a snack stand.
Purity and simplicity
Every park must not only have attractions, but also employees. You will definitely need an attraction maintainer, a security guard or a mascot to cheer up customers. There are also detailed statistics for each roller coaster and attraction, such as how much money you earned or how popular the coaster is. Customers also have their opinions and thoughts about your theme park, just click on them. Also, don't forget about the cleanliness and appearance of your parks, where you have to build sidewalks next to the attractions.
It is clicking that can be quite difficult in some situations, but the developers from Atari were pleasantly surprised and tried to adapt everything as much as possible to today's touch era. In each park, you can zoom, rotate and edit it in different ways. Sometimes it happened that I clicked somewhere I didn't want to, but everything can usually be returned to its original form immediately. I spent the most time building and designing my own "rollercoasters".
There is also an initial tutorial in the game, just in case you have never come into contact with RollerCoaster Tycoon. On the one hand, I'm upset that Atari managed to get this legendary game onto the screens of iPhones and iPads, since I'll be doing nothing but building parks for a few days now, but the nostalgia is definitely worth it. However, in the beginning, do not count on the fact that everything will be available immediately. You have to earn it, so to speak.
If you get tired of the basic scenarios, you can buy three expansions for two euros, namely Wacky Worlds Expansion, Time Twister Expansion and the scenario editor. RollerCoaster Tycoon will cost you 6 euros (160 crowns), which is not a small amount compared to how many hours of fun await you. Let's just add that the game can also be played on the iPhone display without any problems. Everything is clear and manageable. If you have ever played this game in the past, it is literally a must download.

For me, it's a much bigger hit than the famous Mario. Will I invest for sure?
Hmm, I'll remind myself of the PC days :) But at the time, the graphics were amazing, today it doesn't look good
If it doesn't seem nice to you, then you're not the right guy for this game :)
It's not as enthusiastic as it used to be :)
I've never understood why today's appalling graphics make a positive..
Thank you for your opinion, I already thought I was weird.
