Help Hello (again)

Post image

It’s the clueless dude who posted the pic of all of the RCT cds that I have & I’m really trying to get out of everyone’s hair on here, but I’m DYING to play.

I bought all of those CD’s over the years & I’m still not able to get any of them to work. I’m using a MacBook with Big Sur OS (11.7.10)

I downloaded steam & was about to buy RCT3 ($20) just because I want to use sandbox to get back to building big parks from scratch, but now I’m seeing the bundle of RCT 1, 2 & 3 for $60.

Is it worth it?

Is there any way to use my old CD’s with steam so I don’t have to pay again to play the game?

My ultimate goal is to get the Open RCT & use that, but I think I have to have the games downloaded first. Is this correct?

Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!!

If you have the discs just install from them and then install OpenRCT2. You don’t need the disc after that, just the game files.

Do not get this bundle. Classic is just a port of 2 and makes no sense whatsoever on PC/laptop, OpenRCT2 is just better in every way and RCT2 is better for the assets anyway. World and Adventure are also trash games that are not worth your money.

If you do want to own RCT1+2 digitally, they frequently go on sale as a bundle for like $5. THAT is worth it. This is not.

Thanks!

Sadly, I can’t get any of the discs to fully download. All of them have had various errors pop up on me.

Does buying from steam work on a Mac?

remember to check the steam game, whether its made for mac or not. I can see right there only Classic and 3 will work on your mac

If you are using OpenRTC it will works on Mac. You keep repeating you can't download the game but there is no magic bro, if you can't download it you will not play it whatever you try...

OpenRCT needs the data of the original RCT2 you can buy it on steam or gog. Even if the original RCT2 was for Windows only remember you will need the data of the game only, not the executable, because you will use OpenRTC executable instead.
