RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic: Legendary theme park creator
Screenshots
Making the best of both worlds, RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic brings the best of the original RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 together. For those in love with the franchise, this remastered edition now gives you an authentic park-building experience with new modern additions. The graphics are charming, the gameplay is classic, and the ever-growing amount of expansion packs (Wacky Worlds, Time Twister, etc.) provides endless hours of amusement and freedom of thought.
Building and managing the ultimate theme park
One thing you can't help but notice in RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic is how deep its park management level is. Yes, building jaw-dropping roller coasters falls into the duty of the players, but they're not merely meant to do that; they are also tasked with balancing the happiness of park guests while also managing finances, as well as the layout of shops, food stalls, and other amenities to ensure the park owner's profits. There is a good challenge gameplay between creativity and business management.
The possibilities of ride design are endless. The flexibility to either build a coaster from scratch or use a 'kit' pre-made design is quite impressive. RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic is immensely satisfying with creating a well-functioning park that entertains guests. By doing so, you'll become fascinated with coaster design, rethink shop placement, try new thematic pathways, and generally attempt to create the best park possible.
Expansion packs and toolkit for endless fun
RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic doesn't disappoint if you're still looking for more content. The Wacky Worlds expansion allows players to make parks around the world in weird and wonderful places, and the Time Twister expansion brings a bit of fun historical flavor. Even more variety is added to this already content-rich game so that players never lack for challenges.
A powerful feature is the included Toolkit for the creatively inclined. RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic provides RollerCoaster Tycoon fans with the freedom to build custom parks and rides, test them, and share them with friends with the Ride Designer and Park Scenario Editor. Perhaps most interestingly, user-generated content not only keeps the game replayable but can also continue to be endlessly imported and exported.
A classic that still holds up
While many park-building games have come and gone, RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic remains a standout thanks to its timeless gameplay, charming aesthetic, and wealth of content. Whether you're revisiting it after years or experiencing it for the first time, the game offers a nostalgic yet fresh experience. With its authentic management mechanics and expansive building tools, RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic has proven itself as a worthy remaster of two beloved classics.
