OpenRCT2 (FLOSS game fork)

#1 Post by Midas »

Tentative post about OpenRCT2 -- the multi-platform open source version of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 -- which provides Windows portable packages for download (untested!).
OpenRCT2 is an open-source re-implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, expanding the game with new features, fixing bugs and raising game limits. The gameplay revolves around building and maintaining an amusement park containing attractions, shops and facilities. The player must try to make a profit and maintain a good park reputation whilst keeping the guests happy.

Note the site warning about how "OpenRCT2 requires the original RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 game files" (and even stating those can be legally obtained for cheap) so it may not qualify as fully freeware, hence my posting to Discussion...

OpenRCT2 latest v0.4.2, released 2022-10-05, can be downloaded from https://openrct2.org/downloads/releases/latest.
