[RCT2] A.J. Does Retro Scenarios!

I knew I did the right thing by performing a Wine installation of RCT Deluxe! Just four days after I did it, my disc got crushed under a sofa!

So, I'm taking all the scenarios from the original RCT and re-making them in RCT2, because I have multiple copies of RCT2!

I know that there have been several instances of people re-making scenarios, and I understand that. I really want to make my scenarios as authentic as possible while still incorporating all the cool stuff that was put into RCT2, like the new attractions and themes.

As a bonus, each scenario ZIP file contains custom paths that match the original RCT styles! For example, all of the scenarios that I re-create from the no-expansions original game will only include four pathways - tarmac, dirt, crazy-paving, and tan tile; all with brown lattice supports.

Obviously the scenarios with a lot of attractions in them already (I'm already dreading Megaworld Park) will take longer, while the "sandbox"-style scenarios won't take as long. I don't have a planned release schedule, it will always be "when I finish them".

So, here's the first one! Or, it's the fourth one, Diamond Heights!

GAME EXCHANGE LINK

Diamond Heights is largely unchanged from its predecessor. Arachnaphobia, which was originally a Mini Roller Coaster, was re-made using the RCT2 Spiral Coaster track system due to the Junior coaster track not being able to do steep drops. As a result, the capacity per train has been reduced from 8 to 6, but there are more trains. The objective is exactly the same - double the park value. When the guest count reached 550, the park value was at about $175,000.

I will gladly take requests for specific scenarios! However, I refuse to do the three real-life parks at this point.

Have fun!

I can't remember the name of the scenario, but it had a mine coaster in a ditch, and I think it was Egyptian, or desert themed, that was one of my favorite RCT scenarios, if you could remake that that'd be great.

Also really glad to see this first one, another one of my favorites, def. brings back good memories. Excellent work!

[paradisecoasterI know more about donkeys than women!]

^The scenario is called dynamite dunes.

I really like that you made this. This is probably one of the hardest original maps to remake because of all the hills and water. Well done. Also might i say that you can get a DRM free, completely legal copy of all RCT games on gog.com (good old games). I find it hard to get any elsewhere.

Dynamite Dunes? Sure! It was pretty simple and didn't take me very long.

Here's the second RCT scenario, Dynamite Dunes!

Dynamite Dunes is almost completely unchanged from its predecessor. The only difference is that the tunnel at the very end of Dynamite Blaster is the normal cliff texture as opposed to the light brick one in the original game.

Have any scenario requests? Please tell me!

Have fun!

[Ace Of SpadesAm I allowed to eat donkey during lent?]

Awesome Work A.J.!

If you're free for requests I'd love to see Mel's World ported over!

[simaticableJar-Jar Binks smells like Donkey]

How about the scenario that started it all, Forest Frontiers?

Absolutely! That's a quick one!

Here's the very first RCT scenario, Forest Frontiers!

Forest Frontiers is exactly unchanged. It even has its original objective of 250 guests in one year.

Have any scenario requests? Please tell me!

Next up for release is Mel's World by request.

Have fun!

[BigDipper 802 + 2 = donkey!]

I'm loving these, AJ! The RCT1 scenarios were always my favorites in the series. I built countless parks in Forest Frontiers, Leafy Lake and Dynamite Dunes way back in the day (wow, that's a lot of alliteration!). These bring back some good memories. Thanks!

[RCTrioFanBeware of the Magic Donkey at Lotte World!]

PLEASE do Leafy Lake and Bumbly Beach! OO and Evergreen Gardens! Those were just so much epic fuuuun!

I've put a "Progress" list on the first post of the thread to let everyone know where their requests stand.

Here's the thirteenth RCT scenario, Mel's World!

Viewed 1644 times

GAME EXCHANGE LINK

Mel's World is largely unchanged. The most noticeable change is that Flightmare, the scenario's inverted coaster, has been re-made using the Compact Inverted Coaster type due to the Inverted Coaster type not being able to have two-across cars.

Have any scenario requests? Please tell me!

Next up for release is Gentle Glen from Corkscrew Follies.

Have fun!
