==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 changed to "White Knuckle". Even when [[Wikipedia:Hasbro Interactive|Hasbro Interactive]] 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 to ''RollerCoaster Tycoon''.
