RollerCoaster Tycoon 2

Like the 1, but the same, kinda.

I'm a little surprised about the score myself. I've recently revisited the game that ate up the most hours of my childhood, and it turns out it hasn't dated at all. One of the most addicting and fully-rounded sandboxes in existence, and if you look at some of the creators on youtube, you'll find that there this is still a community creating things of absolute beauty on a regular basis today. Or if you want, you can just make a death park and kill as many peeps as you can. Your call.

I find it strange that these games are as fun as they are

While it's more or less the same as the original, it is just as addicting the second time around and just as creative. Even more than 15 years later there is still a dedicated group of people creating for this legendary game.
