“OpenRCT2 is an open-source re-implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (RCT2), expanding the game with new features, fixing bugs and raising game limits.”
A project I never see great brought up enough so here’s some love to a great classic game that’s been revitalized by fans.
OpenTTD and OpenRCT2 are two of the greatest things ever made. Highly recommended (not responsible for loss of productivity).
If you havent you should subscribe to Marcel Vos on youtube. He has like a thousand videos going deep into OpenRCT2
Been using Open RCT2 for years. The updated resolution support and scaling is a killer feature, you can play it at 4K perfectly.
The project also added new features and QOL improvements too (giving rollercoaster alternative modes where in the original it could only do XYZ)
Wouldn’t be able to go back to the original now that I’ve tried Open RCT2
There’s even a handful of original coasters (hybrid coasters, single rail coasters, and alpine coasters), although you’ll only see them in custom scenarios. Still cool that they’ve added two “modern” coasters that didn’t exist when the games first came out (the first two I mentioned).
They require you have the source files for the original game, which you can usually get for 1-3 bucks on gog or steam, totally worth it for this masterpiece
Oh cool, I had no idea those were there! Feel free to crosspost but I think those communities might already be aware of this project lol
