Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 on Win10

TheRandomSpectator · September 27, 2018

Hey all!

So I have the disc for RCT3 from when I was a kid and played it on WinXP. I'm now on Win10 and trying to play it again, as I understand that Windows typically has backwards compatibility (I was on Mac between XP and 10, so I didn't know about this until today). I know that if something legacy doesn't work right away, you can try running it in compatibility mode, but I can't even find anything that looks remotely like a setup file that I could use compatibility mode on in the first place! If you guys can put your collective brains together and help me on this, my childhood would be very grateful to you.

Thanks!

Try and play it on a Windows XP VM.

I tried it in VirtualBox, but I was having issues with the mouse. The VM might have gotten a corrupted file when I downloaded it, so I uninstalled it. I'll try it again later. Other suggestions still welcome.
