Rollercoaster Tycoon: Chris Sawyer
built 655 days ago
Building on the foundation laid by Chris Sawyer's original RollerCoaster Tycoon and its expansion packs, Loopy Landscapes and Corkscrew Follies, RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 offers more of everything fans of the series have come to love. The basic premise remains the same: players are challenged to create a thriving theme park that houses roller coasters of their own design. Scenarios are provided that test the player's management and creative abilities, and task would-be moguls with attaining specific milestones such as a certain amount of money made from ticket sales, repayment of a hefty bank loan, and other such objectives pertaining to the success of the park. Unlike previous iterations, the 26 in-game scenarios can now be tackled in any order the player desires.

RollerCoaster Tycoon started out in 1996 as a planned sequal to Chris Sawyer's Transport Tycoon. This proposed sequal was soon abandoned and the code of the game was modified to handle roller coasters. By this time, the ex-sequal's name was "White Knuckle". Even when Hasbro became involved, the name was still "White Knuckle". After Hasbro bought Microprose ... the "Tycoon" name was too good an opportunity to pass up, even for a name like "White Knuckle". Microprose's Railroad Tycoon had done so well, Hasbro hoped the same would happen for White Knuckle. The name was then changed from White Knuckle to RollerCoaster Tycoon.
