The first 2 RollerCoaster Tycoon games come back to life today as RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic

Brought to us by Atari, RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic has just been released on to the Android Platform. This game is somewhat unique, in that it is a bit of a mashup of between the first two RollerCoaster Tycoon games from the franchise, that were originally released in ’99 and ’02 respectively.

So, just like in those games, players will be tasked with not only designing roller coasters, but other rides are included in this, as well as the overall design of the park itself. These other, ancillary tasks will include landscaping, personnel management, and even keeping an eye on the parks financial stability, all in the hopes of bringing in as many customers as possible, and keeping them as happy as can be.

RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic Features:

– The Original RollerCoaster Sim: Experience all the fun from the original RollerCoaster Tycoon® and RollerCoaster Tycoon® 2 games, with a new app that combines the best elements of both classic titles.

In designing rides, players can choose between working with pre-fabricated designs, or create their own using a piece-by-piece format. The game utilizes retro style graphics and the same isometric viewpoint, to keep the look that was inherent to the games that were released early in the franchise. It includes hundreds of types of coasters and rides, as well as dozens of shops/stalls/facilitates, all for use in progressing through the nearly 100 scenarios included within this game and have been pulled from the original RollerCoaster Tycoon, or its sequel.
