RollerCoaster Tycoon celebrates 15 years with a promo on gog!

In celebration of the 15th anniversary for RollerCoaster Tycoon, gog.com has put up a promo with RCT 1, 2 and 3 for only $8.17 for the next 48 hours. You can also get the games separately with up to 80% off! Included in the selection are two of the best Theme Park management tycoon games you'll ever have played, yes Theme Park by Bullfrog is good too but this is in another league as far as I'm concerned. RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 and 2 by Chris Sawyer had you creating rides, pathways, food stalls and much more in a fun pact game that caused many sleepless nights. Being able to create the most dangerous rides through multiple ways and on different maps and of cause seeing your little customers puke had many a kid in tears of laughter (it's that funny). RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 was also a good game, but didn't match the first two in the A+ grade, so go on, lets see what you can create!
