A wildly fun primordial Tycoon game.

After playing RollerCoaster Tycoon for a few hours, you’ll find that the fun is wildly contagious. Unlike other strategy games, RollerCoaster Tycoon, perhaps more befitting its corporate master Hasbro than its actual publisher MicroProse, seems more concerned with surrounding the player in the fun parts of managing an amusement park. As a business simulator / park builder, it succeeds admirably.

As with Sawyer’s previous game Transport Tycoon, RollerCoaster Tycoon is not particularly challenging to win. You can blast through all of the pre-made scenarios without a lot of struggle. Most of their challenges are geographical in nature, as in how do you manage to squeeze another ride into your cramped little park? Unlike Bullfrog’s underachieving Theme Park, a game which RollerCoaster Tycoon can’t help but be compared with, it never forces the player to get bogged down in the minutia of running a park. And while you can design your own rides, the supplied ones are more than adequate (and somewhat less frustrating to use due to the slightly clumsy interface of the ride builder).

Although building the perfect coaster is where you’ll eventually spend the majority of your gaming time, you also have do much more to win. This isn’t just about building rollercoasters, but managing the less glorious minutia of running a fun park – all of which the game manages to integrate. You’ll need to manage foot traffic by creating paths to and from your various rides, balance thrill rides with more casual attractions (Ferris wheels and such), set pricing, and hire mechanics, handymen and security guards. The game is divided into scenarios. Only a few are available in the beginning, but once they’re completed, you get access to the rest.

Presentation wise, the sound effects are superb, with giggles and screams, annoying carousel music, and the clanking of coasters. Visually, RollerCoaster Tycoon is nice and sharp. The ridiculous cartoony graphics do a superb job at conveying a lot of information in a typical windows format. Beautiful details abound on a micro level. Little people run around the park all giddy after getting off a very fun ride, and others stumble and fumble their way around, their faces green with the sickness brought by riding a rollercoaster.

Overall, RollerCoaster Tycoon is the most purely entertaining strategy game in ages, one that’s virtually guaranteed to put a smile on the face of even the most jaded gamer. It’s a wildly exuberant game that reminds us that fun is an honorable goal for any entertainment medium, even one as “serious” as a strategy game.

This page is a work in progress by Gymnasiast.

As of 10 January 2016, OpenRCT2 needs some files from RCT2 in order to run. This page describes which files you need and where to retrieve them.

Rollercoaster Tycoon Pc

Two approaches

You can either do a full install of RCT2 and point OpenRCT2 to its files, or only extract the files you want in order to conserve disk space. If you belong to the first group, you can now skip to How to retrieve.

Required and optional files

Note: this represents the needed files as of 10 January 2016.

  • Data:
    • Required: g1.dat
    • Optional: CSS1.DAT and CSS2.DAT (sound effects)
    • Optional: CSS3.DAT - CSS9.DAT, CSS11.DAT - CSS15.DAT and CSS18.DAT - CSS46.DAT (music styles)
    • Optional: CSS17.DAT (title screen music)
    • Optional: CSS17.DAT from RCT1, renamed to CSS50.DAT, which enables you to have the RCT1 title screen music.
  • ObjData:
    • Required: The 772 default RCT2 objects. Easy to identify by sorting on date, since all 772 have a similar timestamp (usually from 2002 or 2003).
    • Optional: The ObjData from Wacky Worlds, Time Twister and any custom content you like.
  • Scenarios:
    • Required: If you use the OpenRCT2 title sequence, no scenarios are needed. Six Flags Magic Mountain.SC6 is needed for the RCT2 title sequence.
    • Optional: The standard scenarios from RCT2, and any custom scenarios you like. If you want the RCT1 scenarios, you can use the excellent conversions found here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/3cw47sd2wt3hues/ExactRCT1Recreations.zipOr the original scenarios from RCT1.
  • Tracks:
    • Required: None.
    • Optional: The entire Tracks folder (with the *.TD6 files), which will enable you to select prebuilt rides if you don't want to create them all manually. Note though that these will not work in multiplayer.

If you place those files in the OpenRCT2 folder, it should automatically detect them.

How to retrieve

The method to retrieve the files varies, as it depends on your operating system (Windows, OS X and various Linux distributions are supported) and your RCT2 media.

  • Disk version
  • Existing install
  • Mini game (follow these instructions if you don't own RCT2)

Disc version

On Windows, the easiest way is to install RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 and simply point OpenRCT2 to the install directory. On Linux (and possibly macOS?), copy the file data2.cab from the CD to a place where you want to extract the files. Then you can use a tool called unshield like this:

Rollercoaster Tycoon Zip File Code

unshield -d extracted/ x data2.cab

If unshield throws a Failed to open data2.cab as an InstallShield Cabinet File, try

unshield -d extracted/ x data1.hdr

instead.

This will create a directory 'extracted', in which you'll find another directory called 'Default_File_Group'. That directory contains all the required files.

Existing install

RCT Classic + RCT2: Mini Game

Rollercoaster

RCT Classic contains all the ObjData from RCT2, as well as its other graphics and its tracks. However, the sound, music and scenarios, while present, are in a format that OpenRCT2 cannot read. Luckily, you can use a demo version of RCT2 for those.

RollerCoaster Tycoon 2: Mini Game (RCT2:MG) is a demo released by Infogrames in 2002. It is very limited in what it can do:

Zip
  • It does not contain all ObjData. This will prevent many scenarios and saved games from opening.
  • It only has three of the scenarios.
  • Its scenarios use a different checksum algorithm, which means they will be detected as corrupt. To use them, you must enable the 'Allow loading files with incorrect checksums' option.

But since the Mini Game does contain all of the music, you can neatly complement your OpenRCT2 install with it if you have RCT Classic. If you have RCT2, it is not needed, and if you have neither, it is useless. In that case, we recommend you obtain RCT2 TTP from GOG or Steam.

Obtaining the Mini Game

It can be obtained at no cost from some game sites or one of the following links:

  • Archive.org mirror,
  • Mega.nz mirror,
  • Download Free Games mirror.

Using its assets

Install the Mini game. Then copy the following files over from RCT Classic:

Rollercoaster Tycoon Mac

  • All of the *.pob files to ObjData
  • All of the *.td6 files to Tracks

Then point OpenRCT2 to the Mini Game folder.
