RC Tycoon 3 Complete Edition was given out for free on Epic. Just a reminder to check your libraries, because I've made the mistake of purchasing something I already had.
If anyone knows about assembly programming and how painstaking writing even simple programs are - imagine writing an entire game - by yourself in x86. The first two games in the series are one of the greatest achievements in game-programming history, if not the greatest. The creator of those games basically wrote mnemonic machine code (one step above 0s and 1s) for the entire game - something that to my knowledge has never been done since.
For those looking to jump into Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 and 2, OpenRCT2 is a free piece of software that will drastically improve the experience. You just need to own and install Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 to use it. (If you also own and install Roller Coaster Tycoon 1, you can play through those scenarios in OpenRCT2 as well.)

It's been done but by the late 90s I don't think you was seeing many games to the scale of RCT made in assembly. There was actually an Original Xbox port of the game cause it was such a simple porting process because OG Xbox was basically running a stripped down version of Windows 2000.

Like someone mentioned before in this thread, if you wanted to get back into 1 and 2, make sure to download OpenRCT2. There is a very helpful tutorial on youtube on how to get set up. It pretty much mergers both 1 and 2 into 1 package, and makes the game playable on standard machines with higher resolutions.

Without it, I read the games are unplayable, so just be mindful this extra step is likely needed. But takes 5 minutes to set up.

Has the most negative reviews too.

EDIT: NVM, was confusing it with Tycoon World.
