Hey,

Just came back from Alton Towers yesterday and being there all weekend reminded me of the game Roller Coaster Tycoon.

Is there anyway it can run on mac? If so can someone explain.

Thanks.

Fun game.

You'll have to use Boot Camp, Parallels, or VMware Fusion. It might work in a Wine based application like CrossOver.

I loved Roller Coaster Tycoon. Luckily I still have the Windows laptop to play it on LOL

Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 should run natively on OSX, albeit in quite a low (non-widescreen) resolution. The copy I own is the universal binary version.

I never ever did like RCT3. only really loved the first two.

I have no idea about bootcamp or the other sounds like it's gonna cost. All I can hope is that RCT4 comes out soon and on Mac.

Bootcamp lets you dual boot Windows, so you do need a valid windows license. VMware and Parallels are virtual machines, which effectively run Windows within an application on the Mac. So you'd still need a Windows license and also have to pay for VMWare or Parallels as well.

There is a universal binary version which does run on Lion. however, the supported resolutions are poor (i.e. no widescreen support).
