It appears we've never mentioned OpenRCT2 [Official Site, GitHub] before, a fully featured open source engine for RollerCoaster Tycoon 2!
They didn't stop at just supporting the game, they also added in new features:
- User Interface theming.
- Fast-forwarding gameplay.
- Multiplayer support.
- Multilingual. Improved translations.
- OpenGL hardware rendering.
- Various fixes and improvements for bugs in the original game.
- Added hacks and cheats.
- Auto-saving and giant screenshots.
It's actively supported and worked on too, with a fresh release this year and lots of commits going into the GitHub.
Like many re-implementations it requires the original game, which can be found on GOG and Steam. You can find some Linux installation instructions right here. For Arch users, you can find the engine in the AUR.
The developers have stated they do plan a set of free assets for use, but that will likely take quite some time to finish.
Love seeing stuff like this, awesome.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTYes, the developer got it on Steam like one year ago and abandoned it shortly afterwards without giving any explanation he did and without explaining why after people found out about it. Maybe it would be time to clone his Git repo and start implementing missing features.
Well , if you have the skill , go for it :)
