Run your park’s marketing and finances to make a profit

RollerCoaster Tycoon: Classic is a new experience, remastered in 2017 by franchise creator Chris Sawyer to combine the best features from two of the most successful and beloved games in the series’ history – RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. Roller Coaster Tycoon: Classic also comes complete with the Toolkit, Wacky Worlds, and Time Twister expansion packs.

I fondly remember sinking many hours into the original RollerCoaster Tycoon and felt right at home here. Once you get your head around the mechanics, you'll be building an incredibly immersive theme park for customers to explore. I recommend playing the game for a while, to get the hang of everything. Then, starting a new game to get a good feel for park management, before restarting again to have a proper bash at creating the perfect park.

You'll need to keep your guests happy by building a good balance of gentle and wild rides, food and drink stalls, water rides, and even transport rides to take them around the park. It's also important to customize the park by building scenery, fine-tuning the landscape, and routing the footpaths. Run your park’s marketing and finances to make a profit while attracting more guests; Organize your staff to keep the park running well and looking its best.

A lovingly upgraded classic that will bring back waves of nostalgia.
