Recently, Atari revived the original Roller Coaster Tycoon game system for a mobile platform, and released Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic on iOS and Android operating systems.


I never got to the point where I could create works of art like several online communities (seriously, check out /r/rct – there’s some incredible stuff there.), but I could kill plenty of time in RCT2’s Coaster Designer mode, and create semi-functioning (enough to pass the objectives anyway) parks when I was bored.Īs technology progressed, it got harder to play the original RCT games, as they were designed for earlier versions of Windows, so it became difficult to get my coaster game fix. Growing up, my computer didn’t have the graphics to run Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 properly, and more technical simulators like No Limits are a little advanced for my particular skill set.The original RCT and its sequel were some of the first coaster games I played, and I found myself constantly coming back to RCT1 & 2 as I grew older.

When it comes to the perfect roller coaster simulation game, personally, I look no further than Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 & 2.
