OpenRCT2: Open-source implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 with new features

I play OpenRCT2 with my daughter quite often, it works great, I recommend the OpenGL render engine since it allows for additional zoom and the kids love to see the people walking around and puking all over the park.

At work I say "the ride never ends" everytime some ongoing issue or everyday shenanigan happens. My colleagues kinda interpreted that as something I say but they have no idea its a reference to Mr Bones Wild ride which is RCT2 meme.

> OpenRCT2 requires the original RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 game files

It&#x27;s weird to see genres come and go. Back then it felt like there was a &quot;Tycoon&quot; game for almost everything (well, most of them were fairly terrible, but still...).<p>TTD was always closer to my heart though really, that and the original Zoo Tycoon. I almost wish there&#x27;d be something like this for Zoo Tycoon, while Planet Zoo has some really nice attention to detail with the animals the level of design tuning you can do with scenery &#x2F; buildings feels a bit overwhelming.

Also check out Theme Hospital open source remake<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;corsixth.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;corsixth.com&#x2F;</a><p>The websites are rather similar!

This looks pretty great. I’ve been meaning to get back into RCT2. Does OpenRCT2 _feel_ like the original?

I played this recently. Its amazing what a rush of nostalgia i got, and how well the game holds up.

I played RCT2 many years ago. But what was most notable was that it had a DST bug that lost all your progress when daylight savings time changed.<p>But the game was great. Just I had to play some levels twice.

I loved rct and rct2 but Parkitect has been a worthy spiritual successor for me

I had no idea OpenRTC2 was written in JavaScript <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Limetric&#x2F;OpenRCT2.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Limetric&#x2F;OpenRCT2.org</a>

It’s fun but reminds me I no longer have the patience for video games.

Would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE to see this ported to the Switch or released on Steam!

sad zoo tycoon never gets as much love :(

Like others have said, this is an engine reimplantation, not the game.<p>Like openmw, it requires the original game.<p>I think the title is misleading.

Whoa a macOS version?
