Before you jump in

This Wine-Assembly entry runs a demo/shareware build of the original RollerCoaster Tycoon. It combines ride design with park operations: guests need paths, affordable attractions, food and reliable maintenance. The browser project adjusts resolution to fit the display. Treat the supplied scenario and demo restrictions as the available scope, rather than expecting all retail parks and expansions.
