#3As a lover of the original I wish this project has the same success OpenTTD has had.

#5Man what a great project, I've been only lightly following it for the last year or so, but it gets me excited. I think I could see myself choosing this as a first open source project to commit to.
Thinking now, I would love to see Dolphin style progress reports every now and then from the project. I'm sure they'd catch a lot of buzz.

If you can't find it or it is too scratched, they also sell the full edition of RCT2 on GoG for cheap https://www.gog.com/game/rollercoaster_tycoon_2

#7I've never played this but have been aware of it for a while. Judging from the Readme it sounds fairly complete? Like I could play out a full scenario in this without missing features or crashing?

what are Dolphin status reports, and what about them is effective?

I also head of it for a while before I gave it a spin. I finally got around to it about 6 months ago.
The game works really well. I don't remember noticing that anything was still missing in singleplayer. Multiplayer... there was something, but I don't remember what. Desyncs for sure, but I think those were always solveable by just reconnecting. I'm not sure what, but there was a reason why my girlfriend and I didn't play it. We played RCT2 a bunch, with one person watching and the other playing, and OpenRCT2 with multiplayer seemed epic, but there was something annoying in multiplayer, I just don't remember what.
By now, it might have improved again. I remember the development going really fast before. And in singleplayer, I don't think there were any bugs that prevented me from playing.
Give it a spin if you were (or still are) into the original Rollercoaster Tycoon!
