Atari has brought two of the most successful Rollercoaster Tycoon games to iOS and Android in one $5.99 bundle. RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 are now available together as RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic, a mobile-enhanced experience of the original PC simulator games.
“As the creator of the original RollerCoaster Tycoon PC games many years ago, I have seen how much excitement and entertainment they have brought to players all over the world,” said producer Chris Sawyer in a press statement. “It was my long term ambition to bring the classic game to modern touch screen devices as its visual style and tactile nature are so well suited to smartphones and tablets. Working with Origin8 Technologies ’ development team, we have been able to modernize the classic gameplay for touch screen devices while preserving the unique graphical style of the original RCT games. I believe fans of the RCT series will greatly enjoy playing the classic titles enhanced on a new platform.”
