About RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic
RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic is a theme park construction and management game remastered in 2017 by franchise creator Chris Sawyer. It combines the best features of two of the most successful and beloved games in the series, the original RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, into a single new experience. The game keeps the authentic playability, depth and distinctive look of the original best-selling PC releases, and it comes complete with the Toolkit, Wacky Worlds and Time Twister expansion packs. The GOG version is developed by Origin8 Technologies and published by Atari.
At its heart this is a game about building roller coasters. You can quickly place a pre-made coaster design or use the intuitive piece-by-piece building tools to lay out every drop, loop and turn yourself, then theme your creation to fit the rest of the park. Beyond coasters you can add gentle family rides, wild thrill rides, water rides and transport rides that carry guests around the grounds, along with food and drink stalls, shops and facilities. The game includes hundreds of types of roller coasters and rides and dozens of different shops, stalls and facilities to choose from.
Running the park is just as important as building it. You manage marketing and finances to turn a profit while attracting more guests, organise staff to keep paths clean and rides in working order, and watch how visitors react to prices, queues and the attractions on offer. Customising the park is part of the job too, as you place scenery, fine-tune the landscape and route the footpaths. Progress comes through 95 classic park scenarios from RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, set in environments that range from the tranquillity of Forest Frontiers to the bustling commerce of Megaworld Park.
The included expansions add even more variety. Wacky Worlds takes players on a trip around the globe with 17 new park scenarios and exotic rides, Time Twister brings themed parks inspired by different eras, and the Toolkit lets you create and share your own scenarios and coaster designs. Everything is presented with classic-style isometric graphics and the original amusement park music and sound effects. The GOG version runs on Windows and is available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch, making it a strong pick for fans of management sims and anyone curious about a defining classic of the genre.
