    My dad would do a playthrough of one of the scenarios, with the goal of trying to get as many people in the park as possible. (We didn't know about the no-exit feature, so this was done properly)
    Once the scenario was over, he would place down many free balloon stands so that as many people as possible would have balloons. Once that was done, he would systematically delete the pathways in the park, slowly corralling all of the guests together until they end up on a single tile, usually suspended a few layers above the ground. Finally, he would put a single tile of water below the path, and delete the final piece of path, dropping thousands of people to their watery demise.
    People with balloons will release them when they drown, so you would get a cloud of thousands of balloons floating away for a minute before they all burst in an ear-shattering "POP".

      Many of these older games' visuals still hold up because the designers/artists put in a lot of painstaking work to make the most of the limited palette and pixels/polygons available to them.
      With many modern games on the other hand, it feels like they choose that retro pixel look out of laziness, so they can say "stop whining, we made the game look like that on purpose, because nostalgia, see?". Very little effort is made to optimise the designs to whatever arbitrary limitations they set for themselves, so the end result isn't timeless, it's just ugly-on-purpose.

    RCT and RCT2 still hold up. Chris Sawyer is a legend, wrote the game in assembly code basically alone. Frontier made a great entry with RCT3. Atari threw the franchise in a dumpster and set it on fire. Thanks god Frontier came in clutch with Planet Coaster.
    Edit: Forgot to also shout out the amazing people behind OpenRCT2, they've also put in so much work to keep the game relevant and bringing it to the modern age. Also Marcel Vos is amazing.

    I worked at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Purgatory is such an appropriate name. I was once stopped from leaving the park by a security guard and detained, nearly jumped by 7 other guards, then ultimately was threatened to be told to leave. At which point I laughed at the guard screaming at me, because I was simply trying to walk out the gate the entire time. So this video makes me laugh and is quite accurate.

    They don't bother with nuanced "requirements" like safety belts or bars, and every ride is riddled with character, what with the rickety support beams - so exciting!
    The sleeping arrangements are to die for, as well - so rustic!
    I particularly enjoyed the Shark Tank show, where people were selected (at random I'm pretty sure, the lucky buggers) and comically deposited into a large pool of water filled with sharks!

  • @scotttaylor7146
    @scotttaylor7146 2 роки тому +50

    Blocking off the exit doesn't work. You'll notice by the end of the video no people are spawning in and the park rating is at 0. Guests also have a "need" to leave the park after a random amount of time, and the longer it takes them to leave the angrier they will be. Considering this basically caps the amount of people in your park, and most challenges require a park rating of several hundred in addition to guest numbers, the strategy will fail every time.
    Unless, of course, you put the no exit sign down close to the finish date so that you can take advantage of the small boost in guests right at the end before the people trying to leave get angry enough to tank the park rating.

    • @Bonde7280
      @Bonde7280 2 роки тому +8

      Also people that wants to leave does not use the shops, and lowering the entrance fee does not make more people visit. For a big park like this visitors will use as much money as they spawned with.

    • @mbgal7758
      @mbgal7758 2 роки тому +2

      I was about to say the same thing. Once they decide to leave the park they’re not going to spend any more money or do anything except try to leave so blocking the exit is pointless. When they can’t find the park exit that kills the park rating and then no new people want to come because the park rating is low.

    I did the no exit challenge in RCT3 by making a fenced off monorail station at the entrance to the park, which then elevated over the fence to a second station, where the guests would walk out of the ride, fall a short distance to the path and continue without a way to get back on the monorail to go leave. I added a pool for them to fall into just for a fun. The game crashed with several hundred peeps splashing around.

    This all reminds me of one of the earliest mechanic exploits I ever blundered into, on the game that inspired Chris Sawyer's better version, Bullfrog's Theme Park (sponsored by Midlands Bank in the UK version, seriously) - in the game, guests could play various arcade/stall games, but the only prize they ever got was cold hard cash (400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000) - and you could set the price per play and the probability. So you'd hike the price up to maximum (998 per game), hike the probability up to maximum (100%), then throw the prize down to minimum (400) - as a result, everyone won, everyone was happy, and you'd snag a cool 598 off of everyone who played.

  • @AliRadicali
    @AliRadicali 3 роки тому +1

    I'm pretty sure the version of RCT I grew up with didn't have hoity-toity mind control signs. However, the oldschool way to trap people is to have the exit of one ride drop onto a section of path that isn't connected to the area the guest dropped in from. So long as you don't create a path to the exit guests will obliviously leave the ride and drop into whatever demented trap you've sprung for them, be it a watery grave, an endless queue that starts right at the exit of the ride it leads to or the actual prison-park itself.
    Also you can make annoying guests disappear from the game without it counting as a death and ruining the park rating with this simple trick: Create a one-tile pillar of terrain. Put the problem guest(s) on the pillar and then frantically drag the pillar up and down with the dig tool until your victims fall through the surface of the terrain. Once this happens you can see them slowly descend through the ground until they reach the bottom of the map and vanish without a trace. An expensive but satisfying way to get rid of guests who've outlived their purpose.

    Seeing the non-optimized paths to the rides is driving me up a wall.
    Also, a helpful tip -- if you make entering the park free, you can set the price of the rides to equal their entertainment value. You'll get more customers and a more consistent stream of revenue. So there's a way to optimize this. Also-Also, if you build trash cans and lamp posts while building your paths, you can speedrun your way to the Cleanest Park Award.

      You can also make all the food in the park free, then make the bathrooms cost money. Put bathrooms next to the exits, and put food and drink stands next to the entrances, so guests will engorge themselves before hopping on a ride and pay a fortune to expel everything when they get off of it.

    @thesteelrodent1796 2 роки тому +3

    Just a correction to what Spiff said: OpenRCT2 legally requires you to own RCT2. It's not a free version of the game - it's nothing like OpenTTD - but more an open source expandalone, and because it contains some reverse engineered parts of the original game you must own the game or you can't legally use the open source remake because the developers don't have the rights to distribute the game code (only Atari can do that). But RCT2 is dirt cheap to buy on GOG, so there's no excuse for not buying it.
    Also Parkitect is an attempt at making a modern version of RCT2, with proper 3D graphics, all the same features, and everything we always wished RCT2 could do. Highly recommended if you don't jam with the 2D pre-rendered 3D pixel graphics
