= History =
 
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]] however 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.
 
U.S. Release Date: March 31, 1999.
