“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.
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
OpenRCT2 is such a blast. Marcel Vos got me into it a few years ago.
Oh wow, I played so many hours of that game as a kid. OpenTTD is a thing already so why not this!
If you havent you should subscribe to Marcel Vos on youtube. He has like a thousand videos going deep into OpenRCT2
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.
Re: openRCT2: you will need a copy of the original RCT2 in order to play it - it doesn’t include the assets due to copyright. The GOG version’s assets will work for it if you don’t have the disc.
OpenTTD however, has its own custom open replacement assets, so you don’t need the original game.
There are instructions out there that indicate the demo version of RCT2 has enough of the source files to work >.> Just throwing that out there.
