RollerCoaster Tycoon: Deluxe
The 1999 classic gets a GOG re-release that runs on modern PCs, but there's a reason the community gravitates toward the fan-patched OpenRCT2 instead.
GamerScout Verdict
Solid for tycoon purists who want the original untouched, but modern players should try OpenRCT2 first.
Compare Prices(7 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About RollerCoaster Tycoon: Deluxe
I booted this expecting a straightforward nostalgia hit, and it delivers the core loop: build paths, place rides, manage finances, watch guests flood in or bail when bathrooms are full. The original game design is genuinely clever - balancing profit with park aesthetics still holds up. But Deluxe is a direct port of an old engine. No quality-of-life updates, dated UI, and it stutters on high-res monitors. If you've never played the original, the mechanics are worth your time. If you have, OpenRCT2 (free, community-run) patches every frustration this version left unresolved.
