== History ==
RollerCoaster Tycoon started out in 1996 as a planned sequalsequel to Chris Sawyer's [[Transport Tycoon]]. This proposed sequalsequel was soon abandoned and the code of the game was modified to handle roller coasters. By this time, the ex-sequalsequel's 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, Hasbro hoped the same would happen for White Knuckle. The name was then changed from White Knuckle to RollerCoaster Tycoon.
