My husband loves video games and I do not know. LOL. However, we did a study in our Sunday school for marriage and his need for "shoulder to shoulder" time ... or simply, the time to play with his wife. So ... I thought about it and took a computer game that I thought would be fun to be the third Roller Coaster Tycoon
Product: Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Platinum (which has three amusement parks, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, Wet and Wild.)
Where to buy: We bought it for a bargaincoming out of business sale at CompUSA, but you can always buy a game or electronics store, I'm sure.
Price: between $ 25 - $ 30 maybe less if there are still some left CompUSA!
Rating: 8
Review: After my husband and I actually installed it is a blast! There are so many things you can do for you! He has challenges, custom events, a no limits option, and much more. You can use a regular amusement park, zoo, water park, or a combination ... oh, and making coasters isCOOL!
It 'very easy to use and ideal for the whole family. E 'rated "E" for everyone. I think it's a great gift for a teenager as well. It teaches them about money management and problem solving skills ... in particular the challenges.
I would recommend this game to anyone. And go ahead and pay a few dollars to get the two additional parks ... Makes it more fun and adventure!
Cons: Unfortunately, there is a great scam. We almost gave up. However, there is afixes that I found at the end of this report. This game is not compatible with Vista when using the correction. You get an annoying error message and will not be able to play the game. It 'been a real pain, and I had to try and try and try a few fixes before I found a simple, it worked! I think that Atari needs to fix this minor setback. But for now ...
