Insert your RollerCoaster Tycoon CD and install. When you're done installing,
click on "Play". When the game loads, click on the far left lighthouse. It will
come up with a list of scenarios. If this is your first time playing, pick
"Forest Frontiers". It will then show you your objective, and then you can
play! If you want to know how to actually play, (I.E. build rides, set prices,
etc.) click on the lighthouse with a black hat on the top of it. That will
bring up a tutorial. Watch the tutorial and then you can play! Happy playing!

TIPS:
Not sure if your ride's safe? Then, test it first!
Graceful and elegant rides add to the excitement.
Theming adds to the thrills and excitement.
Build what you customers want.
Benches help people recover and rest.
Park rating falling? Maybe it's dirty.
Gentle rides give people time to see the rides in the park.
Guests hungry? Make more money by selling them food.
Plants and trees are not just for gardens.
Your rides should surprise their riders.
Watch the thoughts of your customers.
Use R&D to create new ride types.
Intense rides make people ill.
Efficient parks are more attractive to potential customers.
Make your paths easy to follow.
Footpaths built close to rides add excitement.
Rides need not be built in separation.
Tunnels are dark but they can be exciting.
Install new tracks/scenarios by placing on hard disk and double-clicking.
TRICKS:
Name a guest "Chris Sawyer" and he will walk around taking pictures.
Name a guest "Simon Foster" and he will walk around painting pictures.
Complete all scenarios and get "Mega Park". The goal says "Have Fun!"

There is a weird glitch that occurs after the DST (daylight savings time) time
switch. Your saved games will stay there, but your scenario progress will be
lost. Ahh! What to do? Simply download this file, then all you do is run it:
"http://www.rollercoastertycoon.com/test/patches/rctrec.exe"
Your name will vanish from the scenario list.
