[edit] Expansion Packs

Why does it state that there is only one expansion pack for this game? I'm sure there are two. --Funnykidrian 06:10, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] expansion packs

I wrote that there was one.It as written 2 before but i changed it because this game was first advertised the same time the loopy landscapes game came out and i also think that the first expansion pack was never released in the uk.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rossyboy10 (talk • contribs) .

Added Attractions was released in the UK, I remember buying it. It was later also included on the Loopy Landscapes disc. Makron1n 19:46, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ThemePark

Wouldn't a reference to the similarities between Bullfrog's Theme Park and Tycoon be good?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.137.255.221 (talk • contribs) .

Only with a reliable source making the comparison.--Drat (Talk) 15:40, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Sigh... You don't need a reference to a comparison. As long as the listed features in both games' WP articles are from reliable sources, you can compare the games yourself - just link to the Theme Park article. That said, don't go too far and start to guess the reasons behind the differences or anything like that.--Almost Anonymous 14:55, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Software Issues

This section, recently added by 71.60.109.223, is unsourced. Can someone confirm that the game can't be installed on XP? BANG! 03:02, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

It's untrue. The game can be properly run using compatibility settings and a patch. There was a section with the correct info some time ago, except I can't find that edit. I will fix it. --FlyingPenguins 05:30, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RCTTOWN link no more

Just a note, rcttown on the links part has shutdown and the link should be removed or replaced with: http://rollercostertime.com —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Skullbird11 (talk • contribs) 16:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:RollerCoaster Tycoon (Xbox).jpg

Image:RollerCoaster Tycoon (Xbox).jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Xbox 360 Backwards Compatibility

I figured it'd be a good idea to include this game's Xbox 360 backwards compatibility status on its page. When and if this game becomes backwards compatible, please update it accodringly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Firebomb 87 (talk • contribs) 16:39, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
