'''''RollerCoaster Tycoon''''' ('''RCT''' or '''RCT1''' for short) is a theme park management simulation game. The player must build successful theme parks to fulfill a set of objectives in various scenarios. The player can build custom roller coasters and tracked rides and add pre-designed rides, shops and stalls, path systems, and scenery to their park. ''RollerCoaster Tycoon'' is the first game of the [[RollerCoaster Tycoon (Series)|''RollerCoaster Tycoon'' series]]; it has two expansion packs – ''[[Corkscrew Follies/Added Attractions]]'' and ''[[Loopy Landscapes]]'', and has two successful sequels – ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]]'', and ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon 3]]''.
 
==History==
''RollerCoaster Tycoon'' started out in 1996 as a planned sequel to Chris Sawyer's [[Wikipedia:Transport Tycoon|Transport Tycoon]]. This proposed sequel was soon abandoned and the code of the game was modified to handle roller coasters. By this time, the name was "White Knuckle". Even when [[Wikipedia:Hasbro|Hasbro]] became involved, the name was still "White Knuckle". After Hasbro bought [[Wikipedia:Microprose|Microprose]], however, the "Tycoon" name was too good an opportunity to pass up, even for a name like "White Knuckle". Microprose's [[Wikipedia:Railroad Tycoon|Railroad Tycoon]] had done so well, that Hasbro hoped the same would happen for White Knuckle. The name was then changed from White Knuckle to ''RollerCoaster Tycoon''.
