Other Chris Sawyer Games

Chris Sawyer, the creator of the RollerCoaster Tycoon series has also created other games.

Transport Tycoon
In 1994, Sawyer created Transport Tycoon, a game which focused on transporting passangers and goods from one city or factory to another. Over the next two years, a world editor was released, as well as the Windows 9x-compatible Transport Tycoon Deluxe. In 2004, the game was released as open source, and that variant of the game, called OpenTTD, is still being updated, expanded and translated into more than 50 languages.

RollerCoaster Tycoon
Chris Sawyer's most famous game to date, RollerCoaster Tycoon was originally intended to be a rollercoaster simulator named White Knuckle. During the development stage, it became a funpark sim game. It was one of the top-selling PC games of 1999, despite being released in April. Two expansion packs, Added Attractions/Corkscrew Follies and Loopy Landscapes followed and the game returned to its title of the #1 best selling game at the end of 2000.

RollerCoaster Tycoon 2
A sequel to RollerCoaster Tycoon. Two expansion packs were released - Wacky Worlds and Time Twister.

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3
Chris Sawyer wasn't the lead game developer of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, but was still the Executive Producer at Frontier Developments. Soaked and Wild were released as expansion packs.

Chris Sawyer's Locomotion
Locomotion was the last game Sawyer worked on. It's based narrowly on his 1994 Transport Tycoon, but has updated graphics and is fully compatible with newer systems. The scenario editor is built in the game, just like in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2.
