If you're a fan of Chris Sawyer's games, Roller Coaster Tycoon is also getting a remake via OpenRCT2: https://openrct2.org/ https://openrct2.org/
And "Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic" was just released by Atari to iOS and Android, which is a port of the original games modified for touch. (It's a fantastic port, btw, I highly recommend it.)
- smacktoward 10y agoThe original RCT becomes even more impressive when you find out Sawyer coded the vast majority of it in assembly language: http://www.chrissawyergames.com/faq3.htm http://www.chrissawyergames.com/faq3.htm > The game was written and compiled using MS Macro Assembler V6.11c, MS Visual C V5, MS DirectX 5 SDK, plus assorted custom-written tools... It's 99% written in x86 assembler/machine code (yes, really!), with a small amount of C code used to interface to MS Windows and DirectX.
- jwdunne 10y agoYes, RCT was my first Chris Sawyer game :) Omg, I will. I was thinking when posting the above "they should remake RCT for mobile". Perhaps a perfect moment for nostalgia as my daughter turns 3 tomorrow and we can build a theme park together :) thank you!
- Asooka 10y agoOne thing I worry about wrt OpenRCT2 is that after a quick browse through the history it looks heavily based on a disassembly of the original exe, which was then manually deobfuscated to standard C. I'm worried if Sawyer et al. would send it a ceasw and desist.
