OpenRCT2 is an open source reimplementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, a 2002 construction and management game in which players take control of an amusement park. Your goal is to create and maintain an amusement park and make all its visitors happy, while at the same time making a profit to further increase the prestige and size of your business.
As with most 'old' game engine reimplementations, in order to play OpenRCT2, you'll need to have the original game files. Fortunately, nowadays, this is very easy, since you can dump all the content of the original CD-ROM if you have it at home, or simply buy it from one of the many stores that sell a digital version. Thankfully, the price of this is usually very, very low.
The advantages of playing OpenRCT2 over the original release are many. For example, the interface is more accessible, you have support for multiplayer games, the graphics are considerably improved, translations have also been improved in many languages, the overall performance is better, an autosave option has been added, and many other changes aimed at making the game more enjoyable.
OpenRCT2 is an excellent way to enjoy RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 once again, this time on modern computers. What's more, it lets you do so while providing you with tons of improvements. Without a doubt, this is a must for fans of strategy and management games.
