GLRC - Theme Park (Peter Molyneux Trilogy Special 2/3)

Aha, welcome back to the second part of our Peter Molyneux trilogy special my friends! This episode we'll be having a look at Theme Park, the game that told the world that business sims could actually be fun and spawned an number of spin-off's and rip-off's. Coincidentally, that anecdote that Peter always blabs on about him expecting his first game to be so popular that he cut a hole in his front door for the mass amounts of mail, then he only got two letters and one of those was from his Mum, Theme Park is actually the updated version of that game. interesting huh? what do you mean No???

I wish you could do more Retro Corners, but have you ever played Rollercoaster Tycoon? 

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@TerporFIN Well I did 49 dude :D But there's a couple I never put up because there was some audio issues, but I may re-record them!

fun fact# did you know that themepark was sponsored by MIDland bank aka the bank we know as HSBC today?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

I did yes, as they were giving away demos at one point.

Ah, another taste of the good old days. I remember on the PC CD-ROM version you could click on the rides to get pre-rendered videos of the rides in 3D, which looked amazing at the time, several years later those pre-rendered graphics were just standed. LOL at the customers flying off the rollercoster.

I had this as a kid and loved it but lost my original copy. I paid £1.50 for a copy of theme park at a charity shop only to find out that It doesnt run on windows xp. I had to dust off my old 98 computer just to play it but it was soo worth the hassle.

@wakkyvideogroup Give you nightmares? I looked at it... it wasn't special or anything.

There Park World was good too.

I always remember the guy made of balls with a Scottish accent. Also the line 'You're visitors aren't camels' when you had no toilets in your park. Happy days.

Why was there a dog riding in a deadly rollercoaster? O_o

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Yeah I've seen that. They rectified it in the console ports where he climbs back up a few seconds later.

@ScrewAttackEurope you should cover the 'Movies' game one day as you showed it in your complimation there, and theres barely any reviews or anything on youtube except a collection of movies made using the inbuilt movie maker.
