I don\u2019t remember what got me interested in the game. I get nauseous as soon as I get on a bus, so it\u2019s safe to say I\u2019m not a theme park fan. I do remember having an obsession with the hypercapitalist, cool America style of Disneyland Paris, forever dangled in front of me by ads that would run at the end of Disney movie VHS tapes. But Rollercoaster Tycoon needed no specific branding to appeal. It just has you, right from its box illustration with the rollercoaster whizzing just out of view, the bright logo with its pleasant rollercoaster-esque bend. Rollercoaster Tycoon screams fun before you\u2019ve even started it (even literally, on the back of the box).\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/the-enduring-allure-of-rollercoaster-tycoon\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More Here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The enduring allure of Rollercoaster\u00a0Tycoon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":6555,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[66],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6554"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6554"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6554\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6557,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6554\/revisions\/6557"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6555"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6554"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itgesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
