==Compatibility==
RollerCoaster Tycoon, being made in 1999, is still somewhat compatible

==Criticisms==
A common complaint was the lack of a scenario editor or a 'free build' mode. Several trainers were released but the expasions included anti-cheat code that disabled them. Sawyer's belief that RCT was a game, and that as such, should include rules, goals and conditions to keep it from becoming just a design tool[http://www.rctstationarchive.com/knowledgebase/scenariomaking.shtml]; this is likely why there are no money codes included. [[Rollercoaster Tycoon 2]] later added the scenario editor.
