Any anons ever played OpenRCT2? I've never played it but it looks pretty neat
http://openrct2.org
>OpenRCT2 is an open-source re-implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (RCT2), expanding the game with new features, fixing original bugs and raising game limits.
>RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 was originally written by Chris Sawyer in x86 assembly and is the sequel to RollerCoaster Tycoon. The engine was based on Transport Tycoon, an older game which also has an equivalent open-source project, OpenTTD. OpenRCT2 attempts to provide everything from RCT2 as well as many improvements and additional features, some of these include support for modern platforms, an improved interface, improved guest and staff AI, more editing tools, increased limits, and cooperative multiplayer. It also re-introduces mechanics from RollerCoaster Tycoon that were not present in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. Some of those include; mountain tool in-game, the "have fun" objective, launched coasters (not passing-through the station) and several buttons on the toolbar.

Locomotion is much more realistic ( realistic curves, detailed animations, underground building mode, sounds). Even has a driving mode. It's crippling flaw is that the largest map size is far too small (256x256 I think) to be any creative fun.

A natural layout can work in multiplayer without anons stepping on each others' toes; as long as there aren't too much people playing, anons generally give ample space to active builders. The grid layouts were used mostly as a limit when passing save files around so that one anon doesn't hold onto it for days or weeks at a time, and if you're not planning on having more than 15 anons building at once I don't see a real upside to sticking to a grid.
