Hi, everyone. My next post will be up tomorrow, Monday the 19th sometime. Or rather, for most of you reading this, that’s “later today, Monday the 19th.” No technical problems, just creative. I’ll be talking about Rollercoaster Tycoon<\/em>, mainly the “Deluxe” release, which covers the original game and expansions. I don’t have amazing hacks to relate; I’m not a speed-runner, and MANY players know the game better than me. If I’m trying to find something esoteric or proof of whether a rare strategy is the most effective or not, I tend to check with Marcel Vos on YouTube. My own style of play tends toward running each scenario’s park as well as it can be in every dimension. I want to see those awards roll in, like “Best Staff,” “Safest,” “Best Bathroom Facilities,” “Best Food,” and “Tidiest park.” I don’t pursue “Most Beautiful” or “Most Scenic,” whichever it is, because a) beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of course; and b) it’s easy to get. Just spam trees. If you can’t see your paths or rides because trees are in the way in every view, you will win this award. The other awards require making some compromise and strategic choices…or at least as far as I understand it. Like most things in Rollercoaster Tycoon<\/em>, it probably boils down to a simple algorithm that can be taken advantage of. And I may even look that up someday.<\/p>\n

So that’ll be up tomorrow…so you then!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
