    Probably not as optimized though.

    RCT could run on a toaster from the 90’s (ok, maybe early 2000’s) and looked amazing for the time.

    OpenRCT can run on a toaster from the 2010’s and looks great because of the timeless art style of the original.

    It’s still an incredible feat, though!

      You are very unlikely to write assembly that is more optimized than what a modern compiler could produce for anything longer than a trivial program. I don’t know if it made sense at the time of the original RCT, but OpenRCT would definitely not benefit from being written in assembly.
