I own an older game, Sim Coaster by Ea games. I am able to get the game to run and play in windows 7 but not windows 10. I have tried the compatibility settings and such with no luck. This game was made in 2001 but still works with windows 7. The game.exe won't launch, and nothing happens when I try to; no errors or no app crash.

The player starts out as the assistant manager of a theme park, hired by the president of the company to take over his position. To do this, the player must build and manage a theme park with three unique zones: Land of Invention, Polar Zone, and Arabian Nights. Each zone has unique rides, sideshows and scenery items. The player is guided by the president and his directors (each of whom specialize in a specific area of park management), and is aided by a blue spherical creature, named the Advisor, who gives the player advice. The player must hire staff to maintain the park, keep guests happy, and research new items for the player to build. Staff members must be kept well-rested and happy, or they may go on strike. To advance further into the game, the player must complete several objectives. These objectives involve training staff for a specific job to unlock a new section of the park zone, or completing challenges to gain golden tickets, which are required to beat those objectives. Challenges include keeping guest happiness levels high, making sure a ride does not break down, or making a certain amount of profit from a specific ride. Completing these challenges will give a specified number of golden tickets, and certain challenges must be completed to complete an objective. However, if the player fails too many challenges, they will be fired and the game will be over. The objective of the game is to become the new boss of Theme park Inc by accruing a majority stake in the company and several park awards (e.g., the highest or fastest roller coaster, the fastest go kart, the longest log flume ride, the best security, the best decoration and the best staff training).[citation needed]Theme Park Inc, in comparison to Theme Park World, has a greater emphasis on the management of the park rather than the rides themselves. The game requires more effort be put into finer aspects such as staff management, park layout, and guests' needs, as not doing so can make it more difficult to complete challenges and objectives. Theme Park Inc also introduced the Roller Coaster Editor, an in-built feature that allows players to create their own layouts for the pylon rides (roller coasters and log flumes) in the game. The players can then save these designs and use them in the game proper.[citation needed]

Theme Park Inc received mostly positive reviews. IGN gave the game 8.5/10,[2] stating that the game has a visual charm that similar games, such as RollerCoaster Tycoon, lack. IGN also states that the game is much improved from Theme Park World, in regards to the interface and advisor system. GameSpot gave the game a 6.8/10,[7] criticizing its complicated nature, and stating that the goals interfere with the enjoyment of the game.
Eric Bratcher reviewed the PC version of the game for Next Generation, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that 'Like cotton candy dipped in chocolate and then sprinkled with peanuts, SimCoaster takes an established good thing and adds needed substance, though the ingredients don't blend perfectly.'[3]

Try this code? 20-00To use B6T you need to understand that this is a whole CD in a file and needs to be either written to a real CD-ROM disc OR as more commonly done these days, use an emulator to load a virtual disc on your PC.I suggest using Alcohol 120% or Daemon-Tools Lite to 'mount' the B6T file in a Virtual CD drive. Search google for the software. There is Alcohol 52% as well that just does the virtual CD drive stuff.
VirtualCloneDrive is a great program for ISO and BIN files (without audio tracks), but sadly does not support B6T.To write this file to a real CD-ROM Disc,you'll need software that supports B6T (which is a BlindWrite format). The software BlindWrite or Alcohol 120% works well for this. You will of course need a PC with a CD or DVD Burner and a blank disc.If the above sounds complicated, it sort of is and it takes some effort to get this working but the good thing is that you only need to setup the software once and once you understand the concept behind virtual CD files (otherwise known as CD Images) and how to load/mount them to run in a Virtual CD Drive, it will be much easier to run these games in the future.
