Kinja'd!!!

In December of last year the genius madman that is Chris Sawyer ported RollerCoaster Tycoon to iOS and Android. It includes dozens of new scenarios and has translated perfectly to mobile.

Whaaaaa! I did miss this. I’ve been playing Transport Tycoon in the meantime.

I did miss that. Happy to throw a few bucks his way. I’ve always enjoyed RCT, but I’ve probably spent more time playing TT/TTD/OpenTTD than any other game, and I don’t think I paid more than $5 for any of them.

You’re not missing anything. I don’t think any port will ever be as amazing as Transport Tycoon. I was going to mention it here. I’ve spent so many hours on planes passing time with that game.

He ported Locomotion to mobile too. It’s under the name Transport Tycoon but really it’s Locomotion.

It’s not even Transport Tycoon, it’s Locomotion with worse music. Which is still pretty good.

I’ve spent countless hours on TT. I just wish some of the bugs would be updated and they’d add a sandbox mode.

Oh god, the music.

Not to mention the fact that you can’t transport anything by car or boat without it fucking up and getting stuck.

There are solo scenarios that are basically sandboxes.

Pretty sure killing them hurts your park rating.

Did you ever play Locomotion on PC? Fantastic soundtrack.

Yeah, but I don’t always want to start out in 1900!

I don’t think so. I’ve had Macs forever. I definitely had a few railroad and transport sims, but I’m not 100% on Locomotion.

Yeah, but nothing is worse than that crushing moment when you can’t buy Concordes anymore.

They can’t lower your rating if they can’t rate.

What could possibly be more thrilling than Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride?

You’d remember it, TT mobile is a direct port of it. Same graphics, same scenarios.

Check out the soundtrack on Youtube. It’s pretty killer, with numerous songs ranging from ragtime to techno.

This is besides the point, but sort of relevant. The game Mafia is like, 50% responsible for my undying love of Django Reinhardt. I liked him before that, but listening to that endlessly really made me fall in love.

Synth-y MIDI soundtracks need to start making a comeback.
