FreeRCT.
By FreeRCT contributors
FreeRCT is a free and open source theme-park game that aims for the look and play of RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 and 2. Its repository screenshot shows landscaping, fence building, guests, and a coaster in one isometric view. Linux is the system the project officially supports, while the readme says Windows and macOS should work. The graphics live in the same repository as LICENSE-gpl-2.0.txt, and that file does not exclude the screenshot.
The F7 Insight
Theme parks get interesting when the tool, the guest, and the money stay on one screen. FreeRCT is a compact place to study that kind of simulation, with original park art shipped beside the GPL-2.0 text instead of borrowed commercial sprites.
