About OpenRCT2
OpenRCT2 is an open-source re-implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (RCT2).
The gameplay revolves around building and maintaining an amusement park containing
attractions, shops and facilities. The player must try to make a profit and maintain
a good park reputation whilst keeping the guests happy. OpenRCT2 allows for both
scenario and sandbox play. Scenarios require the player to complete a certain
objective in a set time limit whilst sandbox allows the player to build a more
flexible park with optionally no restrictions or finance.
