This game had quite an interesting and troubled production history. It was created by Data East Pinball (that's right, their pinball division, that's like getting Boeing to make trains) as a Mortal Kombat clone based on a script by Bob Gale, and by all accounts the production was hell, they had to crunch an awful lot to get a promised bonus by Data East and on top of all that, the game was never officially released.

The game, however, is terrible. Even excusing the fact that all we have is a beta, it's a clunky mess that tries too hard to one-up Mortal Kombat in every way, from fatalities (they were clearly going for quantity-over-quality here) to even putting in offensive stereotypes (there's a character who is the biggest Native American stereotype I have ever seen in a game.) Most egregiously, you can block and kick at the same time.

How do you make a masterpiece like RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 even better? You open-source remake it, of course! This game adds tons of features that makes the game even better, like adjustable speed and ride refurbishing.

To any prospective players, please note this: Unlike OpenTTD, you do need the files from the original game, as there hasn't been a free graphics pack made yet. Luckily, the original game goes for tuppence on GOG, so I recommend getting it from there (helps there's no DRM too).
