Shoutout to the OpenRCT2 project! https://openrct2.org/ Lots of great QOL fixes and improved modern hardware support.

For another fun game in this genre, check out Parkitect which has some additional logistical elements around transporting and hauling stall inventory https://themeparkitect.com/

Art for RCT 1-2 was made by Simon Foster, and most of the objects were made in 3D, then rendered into frames.

I still play this game today. I managed to carry along an older version of RCT Deluxe (before it was patched up to defeat all the cheats) for all these years, with the cheat program "beast trainer" (or "cg_beast").
