“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).
Don’t forget about FreeCiv!
If you havent you should subscribe to Marcel Vos on youtube. He has like a thousand videos going deep into OpenRCT2
I have not, thanks for that shout out I’ll definitely be looking into that!
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 during sales. Totally worth it for this masterpiece.
While steam does work, I’d highly recommend going GOG for the DRM free files
It’s a really interesting way to get around copyright without needing to make your own assets.
Oh wow, I played so many hours of that game as a kid. OpenTTD is a thing already so why not this!
I can’t let myself play OpenTTD anymore. It runs too big a risk of annihilating my sleep schedule. There’s always some city that could really use some bus route optimization.
I couldn’t play RCT2 without the ORTC2 mod that lets you put garbage bins and benches everywhere in a single click
Don’t remove half the game!
Oh wow. I’m gonna have to check that out later. As a kid i adored that game.
OpenRCT2 is such a blast. Marcel Vos got me into it a few years ago.
I use it to play on my steam deck which surprisingly is pretty fun on the go.
Thanks! I had no idea this existed! RCT has been a staple of my childhood <3
Awesome
