RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic
RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic is a port of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, released for Android and iOS on December 21, 2016 in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store respectively, Android and Kindle from the Amazon App Store in April 10, 2017[1], and for PC on September 28, 2017. It contains all of RCT2's scenarios, as well as ports of almost every RollerCoaster Tycoon, Added Attractions and Loopy Landscapes scenario. Wacky Worlds and Time Twister content, as well as a toolkit containing the scenario editor and the coaster designer grid, are available as separate in-app purchases in the mobile version while they are pre-installed in the PC version for free.
Its scenarios are divided into 10 difficulty groups: Graphite, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst, Coral, Ivory, Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Each group has 9 to 10 scenarios.
At launch, the game did not include: Urban Jungle, Alton Towers, Heide-Park, Blackpool Pleasure Beach and all Six Flags parks. All Six Flags parks were added in an update on December 22, 2016.
In January 2019, the Android port's price on the Google Play Store was accidentally set to "free" and the game was delisted from the Google Play Store shortly after.[4]. Apparently, this was caused from technical difficulties and the game was re-released to the Google Play Store on March 7, 2019.[2] Unfortunately, there is currently no option to restore previous purchases (including the game and in-app purchases), progress from Google Play cloud saves, and Google Play Games achievements from the previous Google Play release to the current Google Play release.
A Nintendo Switch port of RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic was announced on November 21, 2024 and is set to be released on December 5, 2024.[3]

Trivia
- The game's main menu will play either the RCT1 or RCT2 music. The music track can be switched by closing the app and re-opening it.
- The Park Value scenarios from RCT1 have their minimum achievements raised from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. This was done to reflect the difference in park value calculation between RCT1 and RCT2. Scenarios from RCT2 remain unchanged in this regard.
- Although RCTC includes Panda World and Panda Themeing, it is missing the Pink Water download from RollerCoaster Tycoon 2.
