Published on PC, AND and iOS, RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic is an economic strategy for mobile devices.

The conversion is developed by Origin8 known for such titles as Sentinel 3: Homeworld and Space Station: Frontier.
Mechanics
You assume the role of the manager of a small amusement park and your job is to transform it into a huge, thriving business venture swarming with clients with different needs and preferences. The most important element of RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic for PC, AND and iOS is designing and building rollercoasters. This can be achieved due to the implementation of a simple, yet offering-much-freedom system. Players can use pre-prepared plans and fragments, or, using hundreds of available elements, build a rollercoaster on their own, metre by metre.
Moreover, you need to have other attractions along with shops selling food, drinks, and souvenirs. Also, visitors have to be provided with an efficient transportation to the park and an abundancy of pavements in the park. You also need to grow plants, create sculptures and other decorations.
The title features a system that simulates the realities of a virtual business and requires players to carefully balance their incomes and outcomes, attract new customers, and manage staff.
RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic includes most of the elements from RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon II. Therefore, the player has a big number of maps to choose from, starting with peaceful meadows and ending with different parts of a giant park known as Megaworld Park. What is more, there are 95 scenarios with particular objectives to be achieved.
Technical aspects
The conversion stays faithful to the original productions. RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic put out on PC, AND and iOS features 2D visuals and an isometric perspective. There are, however, changes introduced into the interface which is now adjusted to touchscreens.
