Get RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic on Steam for just $5

RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic, the park management sim that turned us all into greedy and occasionally sadistic capitalists, is currently available on Steam for its lowest price ever. Normally priced at $19.99, this title is discounted to just $4.99 through April 22nd to celebrate the game’s 25th anniversary.

The definitive version of Chris Sawyer’s legendary park management simulator RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic includes 95 scenarios from the original RollerCoaster Tycoon, its sequel and their subsequent expansions, as well as optimizations for modern hardware.

Originally developed for Android and iOS devices, RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic consolidates the scenarios and features of the original 1999 game and its sequel, as well as their four expansions. Also included RCT Classic are scenarios with five in-game adaptations of real Six Flags theme parks. A total of 95 increasingly challenging scenarios are available for you to play.

The vibrant, sprite-based artwork is thankfully unchanged from the original games, but Classic has been optimized for modern displays and supports higher resolutions and ultrawide screens. Modern customization also includes a streamlined user interface and additional quality of life improvements. RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic Plus, with a standalone ride designer and toolkit, it’s easier than ever to design and import your own nausea-inducing roller coasters, so you can create your own scenarios and share them with friends.

While parking management sims like Planet Coaster And Parkitect offer a more complete and modern experience, Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic is easier to recommend due to its unparalleled charm and accessibility to an otherwise imposing genre.
