RollerCoaster Tycoon® Classic

Our take

The bones here are genuinely great, RCT1/2 are foundational tycoon games and the depth still holds up. But charging separately for the three expansion packs on top of the base app, plus a 3.89 rating, suggests the mobile adaptation adds friction the original never had.
