RollerCoaster Tycoon and More Games Now Available on Apple Arcade

Weird. I’m not sure what the deal is. I deleted and redownloaded, and it still won’t play fullscreen.

I had the same issue. Then I just decided to hover over the top of my screen and resize the window with the green button, and now it’s full screen.

Have to test it. Maybe I will not need to start my 20 years old laptop anymore for Roller Coaster. :-D

You didn’t have to before. You could download it on Steam and play it…. All versions.

I have a Mac mini and studio display and it opens full screen normally. The text is so small it's unplayable anyway.

Shift-u to increase panel sizes and Control-u to decrease (found the solution on Reddit)

Apple Arcade is a God send for people with kids, I absolutely hated how ad and junk filled the games were on the app store (including creepy camera permissions, etc). I spent hundreds on games without ads for my kids to only play twice and never again. With Apple Arcade I pay monthly a flat rate and they can download and play whatever the ywant.

Good to see more games in Arcade. Will try a few of these. Hoping to see more good quality games coming to Arcade.

I think it was RCT that my nephew showed me once...I guess the riders can get sick? And injured? That's demented!

Yeah, they can get sick and throw up on your walkways. You then have to hire janitors to clean it up. They will also have vandals destroy your benches if you don’t have enough police walking the grounds.

Can we get Flight Control next?

Civilization

Civilization VI is available through Netflix and it comes with almost all of the DLCs.

BTW. I love PGA TOUR Pro Golf and Retro Football on Apple Arcade, they're not terribly deep games but they are a blast to play and not deal with IAPs.

Day two..

Can one design a rollercoaster that just keeps going down?

Like ... I guess it would go underground?

We should add Age of Empires II to that list. So many hours logged on that game.

I was uncharacteristically interested to try Rollercoaster on my AppleTV.

Wait - iPhone, iPad and Mac only?? Poop.

Too processor intensive? Regardless, would prefer seeing it on the big screen. And no, not via AirPlay.

newer versions are too complex. I found an emulator of the original and remembered having to keep that goddam book with me when I played to look up the challenge questions.
today, i just asked ChatGPT. 😛

reminds me that i need to find the launch music and make it a ringtone.

speaking about epic games that transformed our lives, is anyone else geeking out on the new Tron film preview?
I saw it last night in the cinema (the preview), and my hair was standing on end seeing the Recognizer moving slowly through the air.

somehow the original film bears a striking connection to current events, as well as a quite satisfactory end to our current story:

It is an all-knowing, self-aware AGI AI (MCP) which in the end reveals the truth about a blonde, narcissistic, crooked liar of an executive, Dillinger, and which prints out his dirty secrets to the world and ending his tyranny. But not until some quite brave Users and their Programs upend the system. It's not gonna be me, but the path to that truth is clearly laid out in the film "Apprentice."

Greetings, Programs!
