What I'd really love to know is how the game was ported to Android/iOS recently, because as far as I can tell the game is literally a 1:1 copy, so I wonder if they wrote some kind of x86 assembly interpreter for it? I cannot imagine they just remade the game in some other engine and achieved this level of accuracy.

It was reverse engineered by a group of devs. https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2

Right, but that's the OpenRTC2, and I mean the official port done by Atari that is available on both Android and iOS currently

Chris sawyer gave Atari devs the assembly source code and helped them with porting it, completely separate to openrct
