OpenRCT2
About OpenRCT2
OpenRCT2 is an open-source reimplementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, a construction and management simulation game focused on amusement park management. The project recreates the original game while adding modern platform support, interface improvements, and new features.
Players build and maintain parks with attractions, shops, and facilities while managing finances and guest satisfaction. The game supports both scenario-based objectives and unrestricted sandbox play. OpenRCT2 reintroduces mechanics from the first RollerCoaster Tycoon game that were absent in the sequel.
The software requires original RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 game files to run. It is developed collaboratively with contributions for bug fixes, translations, graphics, and audio through GitHub and Discord channels.
