Just checked the library page for updates, and I saw that Roller Coaster Tycoon and Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 were "updated" recently.
Was this just an installer change, or were there additional compatibility patches applied, or some other change?
Just curious as to whether I should re-download them, or if it does not matter.

Ah, thanks for the quick reply!
Since these installers are the "classic" (non-Galaxy) installers, I would propose that the change (and larger file size) may be from changes or additions in the "suggested" (advertised) games during installation.
Nothing but a guess, though that's what I (vaguely) remember happening the last time I saw this type of installer update happen.
Again, thank you for the quick reply.

Yeah, it's a bit of a mystery, but since none of these games have changelogs, it's probably installer maintenance.
~200 MB "installer maintenance"
I'm quite curious as that's a hell of a bump in file size.
