The original title was released in 1999, with two expansion packs following in 1999 and 2000. In 2001, Hasbro Interactive and MicroProse were sold to Infogrames Interactive, a French gaming company, which was later renamed ''Atari Interactive Inc.'' in 2003. ''RollerCoaster Tycoon 2'', the original game's sequel, was released in 2002 under the Infogrames banner; it spawned two Expansion Packs also released under Infogrames.

==Series Reception==
The success of the original ''RollerCoaster Tycoon'' series sparked its sequel, ''RollerCoaster Tycoon 2'', which was released in 2002. The sequel was criticized due to its similarity to its predecessor, as it utilized a similar game engine and nearly-identical graphics. However, the sequel was successful, and led to two official expansion packs, as well as the [[UCES|User Created Expansion Set (UCES)]], a player-made set of scenarios, custom rides and scenery. The isometric perspective of the original two games was scrapped for a 3D engine, a new graphical 'feel', and a new game design in ''RollerCoaster Tycoon 3'', which debuted in 2004 and which spawned two expansion packs. The last official update to the series was ''RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Wild!'' in 2005.
