RCT1

Is roller coaster 1 coming too? That one will always be my favourite

What do you mean, exactly?

I mean that the first roller coaster tycoon game is coming too. Because currently it's only the 2nd one.

That’s what you said in your first post already. What do you mean exactly by "is coming"?

Well if i'm correct you are remaking RCT2 to make it playable again, so will you remake RCT1 too or not?

OpenRCT2 already loads RCT1 saves and scenarios to the point they are and play nearly identical. There is no need for OpenRCT1.

Could this project have been simply named OpenRCT in that case ? It's something I've wondered about for quite awhile.

OpenRCT2's internal systems are based on the RCT2 systems. In particular, OpenRCT2 can load objects just like RCT2 and extended that to handle even more types of objects. Still there's also a naming argument to make. OpenRCT could either refer to RCT1 (but it's more related to RCT2) or to all RCT games, but it definitely is not RCT3/4/W and will never be. (Open)RCT2 could always emulate RCT1, it just does that a lot better now.
