RollerCoaster Tycoon (series)

RollerCoaster Tycoon (abbreviated RCT) is a trilogy of video games that simulate amusement park management. Each game in the series challenges players with open-ended amusement park management and development, and allowing players to construct and customize their own unique roller coasters.

RollerCoaster Tycoon was developed by designer and programmer Chris Sawyer, artist Simon Foster and composer Allister Brimble, with assistance from various leading figures from the real-world roller coaster and theme park industry. It was published by Hasbro Interactive (which was sold to Infogrames, and is now known as Atari). The game was a sleeper hit. It spawned into two sequels and several expansion packs.

All three games, including their expansion packs, have received critical acclaim. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D was released on October 16, 2012 in North America and October 26, 2012 for Europe and Australia for the Nintendo 3DS.
