RCT1! That's where it's at. Love it. (Assuming it is RCT1, it looks like RCT1)

Nah, No Limits is easily the best coaster specific game but this is pretty solid for anything else.

After discovering that's RCT2, I must get it. It looks  like RCT1 (and not weird like RCT3) and with better stuff XD

My most successful coaster so far !

(Image removed from quote.)
Looks rather good, Nary- particularly in the use of terrain, and resisting the urge to call it MIGHTY NARYAR'S COASTER OF THE RAZOR GODS or something   :claping
 
Some hints for improvement-
- When building a station, you can hold down the Shift key to raise it up or down- this is useful for creating station buildings and drops straight out and into the lift hill.
 
- Scenery (Trees, Station Buildings and such) can add a lot to a ride's excitement- I'd say if you added a station building or something (Much like on Voltage, shown on the previous page), you could get the excitement up to 10.
 
- You can also add a brake run to the end of the coaster (Just before the station) to increase its safety and other ratings. Likewise, with multiple lift hills, you can also add block brakes to get more trains, ergo more passengers on at once.
 
It's looking good so far, but if you need any help with anything, don't be afraid to ask   :beer:

Never mind. Found a good mediafire link with all it's expansion packs and such.
Downloading now..

Edit: specifically it comes with wacky worlds and time twisters.

it's RCT2 and it's in Extreme Heights.

And it's a giga coaster. (What else ?) too bad the giga coaster doesn't have a lot of twisting options.

@GF : Scenery ? Hah ! No I don't use scenery, most of the time. Too much bother and the coasters are usually cool without scenery. Anyways, real men design their coasters without scenery. It's like the package from a gift, it doesn't actually makes the gift better.

And the two brakes are just after the S-turn, when the track goes between two hills at the very left of the screenshot. I have a feeling I could do without it (or make it weaker) because it slows down noticeably the last and flat part of the ride, but it risks rising my max lateral G's right into the red.

Also what is that about block brakes getting more trains ? Even on standard running mode, and not the annoying assload-of-trains mode where trains spend most of their time immobile on the track ?

Edit: well actually the game tells me I can't put a block brake just after a lift hill. FFFUUUUU-

I can't take pictures of the park I am working on because bloody WeGame won't turn on when I try to get in the game and I can't take screenshots in the game because this laptop won't let me!

Actually Nary, you'd be surprised at what theming can do. Allow me to demonstrate-

This is Mischief Miner- one of my personal favourites, shown here with no scenery. Decent enough, but lacking something. Now, here it is with theming, and built in the same spot-

As you can see, the excitement's gone up massively, and looks far cooler to boot, wouldn't you agree? It's a good example of the effect scenery and theming can have when applied right   :approve:
 
Ah yes, I see them now. Just the drop into the station might be a bit problematic if the station brakes fail- that'll leave it vulnerable to crashing.
 
As for the bit on Block Brakes, yes- when used in combination with a station split into two (Exit at the back, Entrance at the front), they can have many more trains. That, and it massively increases safety- with block brakes in place, coasters will never crash.

You obviously haven't played dwarf fortress.

It's a very enjoyable game though, I'll agree with that.

Why ? Sure the graphics are ugly and I can't stand to play it without tiles, but it's the most complex game ever !

Probably one of the most badass and one of the most intelligent as well.

Well... It looks like old game from 90's-80's, and the game is only full of letters and numbers (I know there are different skin packs) but It's not to my taste at all.
