A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I picked up RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 on GOG after learning about OpenRCT2. Pretty much it's an open source engine that allows the game to run on modern operating systems really easily. I've never played any RollerCoaster Tycoon before, but so far I've been having a great time with it!

I've been playing this, too. Supports all of RCT1 and 2 mashed into one game, which is neat. Runs great on Linux, too, which is also neat.

If you’re looking for the modern version of this, Planet Coaster is a decent experience for those that enjoy RCT2. I’d recommend it if you can get it discounted. It’s better in a lot of ways when building coasters but doesn’t have the staying power that RCT2 has. Might give it a try though.
