OMG. I played the original and was amused for about 2 weeks. Never picked up the second version as it was basically the same game.

However, have you seen Version 3? Oh my lord. I was just on the site where they have .wmv's of the new coaster cam (http://www.atari.com/rollercoastertycoon/us/main.php?page=coaster&video=on)™ where you get to now ride your coasters and i have to say it is AMAZING.

The only downside to the entire upgrade of the game is that you will probably need a couple of Cray SX-6 (http://www.cray.com/products/systems/sx6/)'s to run it.

The site says recommended specs are a 1.2GHz CPU and any radeon or GeForce2 video card. About the same as the minimum for HL2...

facetiousness aside, minimum specs are a joke. The minspecs don't tell you that you have to run the game in 640x480 with dynamic lighting turned off, textures on low, etc.

I remember having a machine that was a little better than the minimum specs for Half-Life 1. I've seen faster framerates in PowerPoint.
