'''''OpenRCT2''''' is a free and open-source recreation of ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]]'' (RCT2) that incorporates some features from the original ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon]]'' (RCT1) that were removed in RCT2 while also fixing some issues present in the official games. In addition, ''OpenRCT2'' adds several unique features, such as cooperative multiplayer and a built-in cheats menu.
Development of ''OpenRCT2'' was started on 2 April 2014 by Ted 'IntelOrca' John, with the project making steady development progress due to the efforts of other volunteers contributing towards its development. In order to keep the game playable and testing easier, OpenRCT2 called into the original RCT2.EXE for functions it didn't yet have itself, replacing these functions bit by bit with its own code. On 15 October 2015, this process was finished, making the game independent (except for graphics, sounds and objects) and easier to port to other systems.
''OpenRCT2'' is available for Microsoft Windows (Vista and higher as Windows XP support was dropped since v0.0.5<ref>MinGW builds dropped support for Windows XP as of v0.0.5 ([https://openrct2.org/changelog changelog])</ref>),
There are two branches of ''OpenRCT2'': "develop", which is updated up to multiple times a day, and "release", which is updated every few months. Generally, it is recommended to use development builds for the latest features and bug fixes. If they have errors or new bugs, they will likely be solved shortly afterward. The launcher can be used to keep the game up-to-date easily. The link to the download page can be found at the bottom of this article.
