About

OpenRCT2 is an open-source re-implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (RCT2). 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. OpenRCT2 allows for both scenario and sandbox play. Scenarios require the player to complete a certain objective in a set time limit whilst sandbox allows the player to build a more flexible park with optionally no restrictions or finance. OpenRCT2 features many changes compared to the original RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 game. A few of them are listed here. User Interface theming. Fast-forwarding gameplay. Multiplayer support. Multilingual. Improved translations. OpenGL hardware rendering. Various fixes and improvements for bugs in the original game. Native support for Linux and macOS. Added hacks and cheats. Auto-saving and giant screenshots. Original RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 or RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic game files are required in order to play OpenRCT2.
