Also played Generals a little later which was different but still fun. None will still be on my favourites list, but Tiberian Sun deserved a mention at least. Bold about RCT: Might be this site; https://www.nedesigns.com/. It's where I used to get my custom stuff. Though I'm unsure whether or not this actually has RCT1 stuff, or if it's all RCT2. It definitely not dead though. Then there's also this post at the OpenRCT website, with links to custom content. Haven't checked all the links, some seem to be dead, plus it might again also be just RCT2 and RCT3. RCT2 really replaced RCT1. Oh yeah, I remember you mentioning this in the Top 50 thread some year. I agree with BraLoD, it's a great story and pretty much the dream to meet your significant other with and through your hobby. |
Great links, nedesigns actually goes all the way back to uploads from 2000. I don't see mine though, and don't recognize the site. Yeah RCT2 was everything RCT was and more. I switched to RCT2 as well and made more parks there. So many cool parks there, itching to play again lol. I never got into RCT3, isometric view just works better for these kind of games. It also ran horribly in 2004 and looked worse compared to RCT2. Modern screenshots of the complete edition look a lot better and it should run fine nowadays as well. Maybe worth to give that another shot.
And yep, video games basically shaped my life. First they got me interested in programming, then Duke Nukem 3D landed me my job, then Everquest changed my life. From Qeynos to Greater Faydark in game, from Amsterdam to Canada in real life. And continued on in WoW as Bromir and Trinket. (Until the arrival of kids changed our lives again)
