    Oh my god, I played shit out of the game back in the day. I remember vomit 🤮 on the sidewalks everywhere for whatever reason!! Haha. I can still hear the screams from the roller coaster people! Good shit!

    That one coaster where you could increase the speed too high and launch people to their deaths lol

    Damn I’m getting old.

    I remember getting this in a CD inside a box of lucky charms.

    This honestly may be my most played game of all time! 7 year old me put in some serious hours back in the day

    I think I still have my original CD of this with the box somewhere. One of the first PC games I ever bought rather than sailing the high seas for.

    Got it for Christmas as a 10 year old boy. Hours of fun!

    I think this was a game that was given away in cereal boxes in my country lol, I have a vague memory of playing it back in the day.

    You know what? Unlike every other game I see with a big anniversary and say “wow, I can’t believe it’s that old”.. I can’t believe it’s ONLY 25 years old. That game is such a classic, I feel like it was around before me. Played it a ton as a kid, and still boot 2 up once or twice a year.

    Fun fact, this game was written by one guy in almost entirely assembly. Imagine what he could have done with unreal engine.

    *sounds of a chainlift followed by screaming kids and then carnival music are now playing in your head*

    Is there a way of playing this on modern consoles/PC?

    Wasn’t this shit written in assembly language or something? I remember them using some low level code… god tier programmer

    What an absolute gem of a game. Just hearing it mentioned transports me back to childhood. Happy days
