OpenRCT2 v0.5.1 "Swamp Castle" released Last version to support Windows 7
You can follow the link to the cask code on GitHUb and the line disabling will (usually) leave a clear reason. In this case, because of Gatekeeper/codesigning because that costs money https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/issues/15879?utm_source...

Isocoaster – Theme Park Builder
Feels like a vibe coded RCT clone. Cool project, but lacks the polish that makes games actually fun to play.
I'd much rather someone drop https://openrct2.io/ into emscripten with open-source graphics.

Valve releases Team Fortress 2 game code
"Emulator" is the wrong word, but the answer is yes. The word you actually meant was "re-implementation" - writing a completely new, clean-room program which reads Source data files (levels, assets, scripts) and allows the user to play a Source game is perfectly legal.
It is necessary to avoid distributing any copyrighted material, so the user must provide the game assets from a legitimate copy for using the program to be legal. In addition, the 'clean-room' must be maintained by ensuring that no contributors to the re-implementation have ever seen the source code for Source, or they become tainted with forbidden knowledge.
Indeed, it's quite common for beloved old games to be re-implemented on new codebases to allow easy play on modern OS's and at high resolution, etc.

Installing/Getting to work on Android, help.
It's been awhile, but I had to open the config INI file that stores the file locations and populate it so it knew where to look for the rct2 files in order to get it to work. Instructions are under the "original files" section under "Potential Problems" here: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/wiki/Android
