In case you haven't heard, Chris Sawyer created a mobile version of RollerCoaster Tycoon, which is quite faithful to the original games, and includes elements of both RCT 1 and 2. It's published by Atari and has been available for a few days now on Google Play and the App Store.
What I'm particularly happy about – and I guess that among you people I won't be the only one – is that this is, surprisingly, a true buy-to-own game. None of that crap where the game is supposedly "free" in the app store, but then keeps bugging you about forking over "micropayments" to gain or unlock things. No, it's a single upfront price for the entire game. I was sure that this distribution model doesn't even exist anymore.
