Article Abstract:

Psygnosis Rollcage is a road race game where the player operates an armed, large-wheeled vehicle, not unlike some remote controlled miniature cars in appearance, and competes against other drivers and course obstacles to finish first. This can be accomplished by eliminating other drivers in this noir-ish looking game. There are 7 driver personalities to choose from, 16 race scenarios. Multiplayer mode is also available. For the optimal gaming experience, the minimum system for the PC version should include a force feedback or steering wheel controller attached to a 233-megahertz Pentium II with 64 MB of RAM or better. Also available for Sony Playstation.

Playing big brother at the amusement park

Article Abstract:

Roller Coaster Tycoon allows users to construct and operate a simulation of an amusement park. The object is to have happy visitors and high profits. This is accomplished by designing and arranging rides and amenities, and connecting them via paths and people movers. A good theme park also provides new experiences from time to time to generate repeat business. The game provides extensive information about each individual visitor via a Guest Info button; this can be the basis for improving a park's entertainment quotient.
