OpenRCT2 is the open-source adaption of the classic hit RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. Including online multiplayer, fast-forwarding and numerous bug fixes.
It’s the only way to play rct at this point. They have optimized the game well and added amazing quality of life changes to the game. I love openrct2!
This project takes one of the best games ever made and makes it even better.
It’s an awesome project! OpenTTD is also a great project for those who want to continue the games we used to have.
I have played this and it felt just like the original. However, if I recall correctly, one needs to own the original install file of RCT2 to install OpenRCT2.
@sinkingship Yep you’re correct, although the GOG version can be had for $10 currently.
You can just download the demo and use that
For best results, you should have the full game of RCT1 (Deluxe) and RCT2 (Triple Thrill Pack). Both can be bought on GOG or Steam, frequently on sale.
For a still-functional-but-not-ideal experience, you can get started with the RCT2 demo, or with RCT Classic. But again, above is recommended.
There is already a space set up for RCT in the Fediverse! Come check us out at:

OpenRCT2 is indeed the main thing happening in the community for the last few years, and just about everyone is playing it, if they’re playing on desktop at all.
I mainly like RCT3 but the first two games do fill a little part of my nostalgia as well. OpenRCT2 is a great project. Need to set this up when I get EndeavourOS installed later.
