I made this game for my wife bought because she just loves. Unfortunately, her old game scratched so provide a new was needed. Installed it was a Sony Vaio notebook with Windows 8 (not 8.1). If you wanted to play the game but was always aborted with an error message "rct.exe no longer works. So I just turned the Kompatibillitätsmodus in the playability and made the check on Windows 7. Since then, the game runs smoothly. The only exception, it crashes like times then off when the Vaio goes into standby and then awakened.
For the game itself, there are 5 star, because it still makes a lot of fun to build their own park!
