- Roller Coaster Tycoon is a video game developed by Chris Sawyer Software Development. It was first released for the PC in 1999 and for the Xbox in 2003. It is the first installment of the Roller Coaster Tycoon series. Also See RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (2002) (Video Game), RollerCoaster Tycoon 3.
- Oct 22, 2019 The first RollerCoaster Tycoon sold 4 million copies. RollerCoaster Tycoon was the brainchild of Scottish programmer Chris Sawyer, who had enjoyed success with his line of Transport Tycoon games.
RollerCoaster Tycoon World is a theme park management and construction simulator developed by Nvizzio Creations and published by Atari for PC. It is the fourth main installment in the RollerCoaster Tycoon series. The game was released a day before Planet Coaster was released.

Why it Sucks
Jan 01, 2019 I was sent the RollerCoaster Tycoon Gold Collection instead of the Rollercoaster Tycoon Deluxe edition that I bought. They are both essentially the same game with some minor differences. Such as the whole game being on one disk instead of 2 or 3, along with a lot of custom created content already preloaded onto the disk.
- It cost $50 at launch. Atari has since reduced the price so they can try and make players buy their game instead of Frontier Developments' Planet Coaster, though physical copies still retail for $40.
- The music doesn't fit the tone of the game.
- Long loading times.
- Ugly visuals.
- Limited amount of rides and features, even compared to RollerCoaster Tycoon 3.
- Editing the terrain has also been scaled down in flexibility.
- No undo button.
- Large amount of bugs and glitches.
- Transportation and water rides, which were featured in the first three RollerCoaster Tycoon installments (and their expansion packs), are not in the game. They were promised to have been added as part of a future free update, but such an update remains to be seen.
- Limited ride customization. For example, you can't even change where the Entrance and Exit are located, nor can the color of the rides be changed. Also, there is no option for custom music for the rides, and only five music choices, all of which are essentially themed variations of the game's main title.
- Hideous, intrusive interface that looks more like it belongs on a mobile game.
- Atari can’t take negative criticism for this game AT ALL!
- Atari really LIED to the community about content on release, they STOLE artwork from No Limits, and have called most of 'their community' trolls.
- Updates have been few and far between, as much as eight months in one instance, and the updates are mostly bug fixes or additional scenery. No further rides have been added since a December 2016 update, which only added three self-contained flat rides.

Issues fixed[edit]
- The downloadable versions are already patched to be compatible with modern systems. The fixes below are for the original release.
Compatibility modes[edit]
Setting the game to run in compatibility mode can help fix many issues with launching and playing the game. To do this, right-click the .exe, open Properties and set the game to run in Windows 98 / Windows ME, Windows XP SP2, or Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode from the Compatibility tab.
Desktop composition[edit]
Some problems can be caused in Windows 7 and Windows Vista by having desktop composition enabled. To turn this off, check the 'Disable desktop composition' option from the Compatibility menu (right-click .exe > Properties > Compatibility).
Onceshe started vomiting from what she claimed was the pain in her back, myparents took her to the ER. It was odd, she went through a lotof pain, several varying stages of nausea, you know like the little guysin the game, and at one point her face was even green like theirs. They sent her home twice until one night wewere all woken up by her screaming in horrible pain.For the third time, in the middle of the night, werushed her to the ER. By this time, I should mention, thatgame and the incident was far from our minds, I doubted she rememberedany of it but it was a weak memory for me anyway.As I was spending the whole weekend with my parents,Laura began to get worse and worse. Rollercoaster tycoon janitor.
Dialog boxes not opening/unable to save[edit]
Running RollerCoaster Tycoon with visual themes enabled can prevent the open/save dialog box from opening. To fix this, check the 'Disable visual themes' option from the Compatibility menu (right-click .exe > Properties > Compatibility).
Another save game issue can be caused by not running the game as an Administrator. To fix this, check the 'Run this program as an administrator' option from the Compatibility menu (right-click .exe > Properties > Compatibility).
