This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Looks like he made a few Tycoon games

Transport Tycoon and RollarCoaster Tycoon (1 & 2)
Transport Tycoon, which I've spent an insane amount of time playing, as well as roller coaster tycoon.
Such incredibly fun games.
He also wrote the PC ports of Elite 1 and 2, which were amongst the most innovative and technically complex games of their time.
RollerCoaster Tycoon. The Gold edition is still worth playing today if you aren't old enough to have the privilege of playing it in your childhood. (There's a Android port too.) Way better than Planet Coaster.
RCT2 isn't worth playing, though. Has much less content. The real life theme parks are cool, though.
RCT 3 was redesigned from scratch and is in 3D, which means that you can ride your creations for the first time in the series. Good for it's time though at this point people would argue that you should just play Planet Coaster instead.
