I saw this item available on Amazon.com and I'm wondering what comes in this box. I can't quite make out the text on the front from the small image at Amazon. I've tried looking at Atari.com as well.

I'm asking because my son is interested in getting this game for Christmas and I want to know if I should buy the $25 plain version or the $35 Gold version.

Thanks!

RCT3 Gold consist of 'Rollercoaster Tycoon 3' and the 1st expansion 'Soaked'.

So its cheaper to buy the gold edition, than RCT3 and Soaked seperately.

Hope it helps

Get ready for an entirely new RollerCoaster Tycoon experience¿ it¿s wet, wild and totally soaked! For the first time, run your own water park - and ride all the rides - with this expansion to the smash hit RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. Celebrate summer as hundreds of peeps (that¿s RollerCoaster Tycoon talk for ¿guests¿) catch rays and waves with an amazing lineup of super-splash flume rides, massive water slides, aquatic shows, beaches and more. Blast peeps with water cannons, build them outrageous coasters, and wow `em with laser light water shows! Get drenched with this splashy summertime addition to one of the biggest games of the year.

To buy the gold is a much better deal than buying the games seperately. I think your son will be greatful for either one that you get him, but when he finds out how awesome this game is, he will soon want Soaked! and Wild! and what ever else to come...

Good luck to you!

RCT3 Gold is what I've got... was quite handy to be able to put the main game and soaked on at once... although it didnt come with a manual so I had to spend some time working out where everything was... and still learning.
