HOW TO GET HERE

No matter where you’re coming from, there’s only one way to get to
RollerCoaster Tycoon. First, let’s make sure you have what you need to enjoy
your visit. After that are complete directions for reaching the park safely.

Necessary Equipment

Before you can install RollerCoaster Tycoon and start playing, check this
list to make sure that your computer has everything you need:
♦  The processor has to be a 90 MHz Pentium

®

or better. For best per-

formance, we recommend at least a 200 MHz Pentium with MMX.

♦  Your operating system must be Windows

®

95 (or newer).

♦  You must have at least 16 MB (megabytes) of RAM. (If you’re running
Windows 95, it’s a safe bet you have 16 MB or more.) For best perform-
ance, we recommend 32 MB or more.

♦  You must have a 4X speed (or faster) CD-ROM drive.
♦  Since the installation program will copy parts of RollerCoaster Tycoon
onto your hard disk, you must have a lot of empty storage space on your
hard drive. How much you need depends on how much of the game you
choose to install.

♦  Your computer must be capable of SVGA quality graphics, and your
video card must have at least 1 MB of onboard memory.

♦  There must be a working mouse (or a device that fulfills the same 
function) attached to the computer.

♦  You must have DirectX

®

version 5.0 (or higher). If you don’t have this,

you can install version 5.0 as part of the installation process.

♦  To hear the game sounds and music, you must have a working
Windows 95-compatible sound card — and the requisite drivers installed.

If you think you have all of these, but still have a problem running the
game, please contact Technical Support for assistance.
