OpenRCT2

An open source re-implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2

I really wish someone would do an OpenRCT3. It was so much fun being able to ride your creations. I had a 3D projector back then too, which made the game even more awesome. Such an underrated sequel.

And yes I'm aware that Planet Coaster exists but has anyone actually tried playing that game? They made everything way too complicated and I just can't get into it. I don't want to engineer every single bend and design the perfect landscaping from scratch, I just want to slap some rides together, see the guests come pouring in, and occasionally ride one of my rides (in VR, ideally). No game since RCT 3 has satisfied that itch for me.

You might want to have a look at parkitect! Its an hommage to rct1/2 but in a modern 3d presentation

OpenRCT2 is awesome, but as of now you still need the original commercial game to play it, since the open source version doesn't have graphics.

Maybe one day they're going to recreate graphics from scratch, like they did with the other Chris Sawyer's reversed engineered game OpenTTD.
