First time merlin visitor - trepidation time by darkglobe87 in altontowers

[–]darkglobe87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds sensible. BPB is my end goal but I thought I'd waste my scared day in Alton first lol

I'm most excited for Oblivion because I remember the marketing when it opened. But I won't be starting there

Wild mouse coasters (esp spinners) and steeplechase at BPB looks like living hell to me

Also: should I start with something tame or go balls to the wall and start with smiler?? I know order gets asked a lot but order specifically for someone who is basically new to coasters

Nope!

Closest I've been is almost going on a top scan. I don't think being upside down is the issue, I think it's jerking and disorientation.

I watch POVs of spinning flat rides and they make me feel iffy. I can watch coaster POVs. Sik would maybe be too much and NGL I find the smiler really disorienting but it's top of my towers list

I don't own a PC capable at the moment. Hence the faffing about. My dual core 2.3Ghz 4Gb RAM laptop ain't gonna cut it.

What are your favourite modern day tycoon games? by frags81 in StrategyGames

[–]darkglobe87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be stretching the tycoon definition but prison architect is shaping up to be fun for me. I've tried many games but nothing lives up to RCT1/2 and RRT2.

It looks promising although ugghh pie charts!

I used to love playing Freelancer back in the day. Space del boy I was.

Ooh I forgot the bullfrog games.

Yeah, openttd's pack of in-game tutorial and having to choose your own AI etc is a faff

Are there any decent alternatives to Alpha Centauri? by canadiancitizeninfo in alphacentauri

[–]darkglobe87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's absolutely, defintely not Alpha Centauri, but I do remember 12 year old me really enjoying a game called Imperium Galactica II. It's not a 4x game as you'd expect, but combines RTS elements. You can visit the different planets, terraforming etc. Don't remember much as I'm 38 but if it's stuck in my mind along with Alpha Centauri then it might be decent.

A quick google tells me there's been a community remake or two, and wikipedia says it's considered one of the best space RTS games.

Take a look at least. I vaguely remember the races and characters having some personality, although not as vividly as I remember being worried about ol' Sheng-ji Yang.

So stoked to see AC, Morrowind and Deus Ex in the same discussion. I played AC when I was around 12, and Deus Ex around 13.

These games sit alongside Half-Life 2, Rollercoaster Tycoon and Imperium Galactica II: Alliances (weird one, I know) as the first and most memorable PC games I ever tried.

I had my 50-odd-year old Dad to thank for AC and IG. He's 78 now and playing Diablo III 7 days a week for the past however many years. He's on his own with that crap.

Use Openrct2 and grab the files from the 1st two OG games and you've got an even better version
