There are, however, some in-app purchases to be aware of - but it's not as bad as you might fear.
Today, it launched RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic for iOS and Android devices, promising "the best features from two of the most successful and beloved RCT games in the series' history" - the original, and its immediate successor.Ītari says that the new game "includes a mixture of authentic playability, depth of gameplay and unique graphical style of Chris Sawyer’s original best-selling RollerCoaster Tycoon PC Games". This time around, Atari is taking a slightly different approach by going back to its roots. However, previous attempts haven't been entirely successful, as the company went a bit overboard on the in-app purchases, rather sucking the joy out of the game. We'll see if RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic will whip up the same popularity as the originals did in their prime, but if the sellout Nintendo NES Classic Edition mini console taught us anything, it's that gamers have a soft spot for nostalgia.Let's just get one thing out of the way: this isn't the first time that Atari has brought RollerCoaster Tycoon to mobile devices. The app costs $5.99/£4.87/$8.30 AUD, with an expansion pack that adds more theme for $1.99/£1.62/$2.76 AUD - like dinosaurs and Big Ben.
It includes many of the features you'd expect from the RCT franchise including park design, custom rollercoaster building, and getting to interact with the park's guests. RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic borrows from the original RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 and reformats the gameplay for touchscreen devices. (If I had my way, we'll see Nintendo's Punch-Out next.) Capcom has also announced that it is bringing the first six Mega Man games to mobile next month, and now here comes Atari with RollerCoaster Tycoon. Next was Super Mario Run, which was downloaded 40 million times in just the first four days. It's also the latest in a trend of classic game titles making it to mobile, starting with Pokemon Go's meteoric rise to No. If you spent hundreds of hours designing amusement parks on a bulky desktop PC like I did, the news of Atari's RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic launch for Android and iOS devices is going to be one of the best things to happen all day.
