RollerCoaster Tycoon is a construction and management simulation video game that simulates amusement park management. Developed by Chris Sawyer Productions and published by Hasbro Interactive, the game was released for Microsoft Windows in 1999 and was later ported to the Xbox by Infogrames in 2003. It is the first game in the RollerCoaster Tycoon series and was the only game released for a game console in the series for fifteen years until 2018, when RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures was released exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.RollerCoaster Tycoon received two expansion packs: Added Attractions (released in the US as Corkscrew Follies) in 1999, and Loopy Landscapes in 2000. Two special editions were released: RollerCoaster Tycoon Gold/Totally Roller Coaster in 2002, which contained the original game, Added Attractions/Corkscrew Follies, and Loopy Landscapes; and RollerCoaster Tycoon Deluxe in 2003, which contained the content in Gold plus more designs for the different customizable rides.GameplayThe premise of the game is to complete a series of preset scenarios by successfully building and maintaining amusement parks through business ownership as a theme park entrepreneur. Players can choose from dozens of roller coaster types and can also build log flumes, carousels, bumper cars, haunted houses, go-karts, Ferris wheels, and swinging ships, among other rides.The player may hire handymen to sweep paths, empty garbage cans, water flowers and mow lawns; mechanics to inspect and fix rides; security guards to prevent vandalism within the park; and entertainers to entertain the guests. The geography and landscaping of the park can be modified, allowing the player to lower/raise terrain and add water to improve the park's attractiveness, as well as to allow rides to fit into their surroundings more easily.

Players must also balance the needs of the visitors by strategically placing food stalls, concession stands, bathrooms, and information kiosks. The player also has the option of building their own roller coaster designs as well as other rides by laying out individual track pieces, choosing the direction, height, and steepness, and adding such elements as zero-g rolls, corkscrews, vertical loops, and even on-ride photos, using a tile-based construction system.ScenariosThere are 21 scenarios included with RollerCoaster Tycoon, as well as 30 more in the Corkscrew Follies expansion pack, and another 30 in the Loopy Landscapes expansion pack, totaling to 81 scenarios if the whole set is installed.

For example, 'Katie's Dreamland' (Katie's World in the US Version) is based on Lightwater Valley, complete with that park's signature The Ultimate roller coaster (The Storm).There were two official scenarios that were available for download on Hasbro's website: Fort Anachronism and Alton Towers. Alton Towers was included with the Loopy Landscapes expansion with Heide Park and Blackpool Pleasure Beach and was updated to take advantage of the new game components.

Both scenarios are also included as part of RollerCoaster Tycoon Deluxe. The UK edition of RollerCoaster Tycoon Deluxe contained Blackpool Pleasure Beach in place of Fort Anachronism.ReceptionGameSpot's Alan Dunkin called it 'another fun management simulation from the mind of Chris Sawyer.' His praises included the custom naming of everything in the park and position-accurate, real-life sound effects. However, he disliked the limited speed of the game, reasoning that 'when you're trying to manage your newest amusement park, time is ticking by, perhaps faster than you'd like.' He also criticized the limited amount of scenarios and the player not being able to make their own. IGN's Jason Bates also called it a fun game.

He wrote that making custom rides could take a very long time and be very frustrating at first, and players would have to pay too much cash to tasks such as changing land levels, re-positioning trees and build walkways, while they design their rollercoaster. However, once players mastered doing so, 'You'll get a lot of pride out of designing some crazy, twisting corkscrew that winds in and out of lakes and hot dog stands, painting it bright neon pink and orange, and giving it a name like the Vominator. And then when the kids start lining up for those $5 tickets, you'll be ready to start saving up for your next ridiculous extravaganza.'

Game Revolution's Ben Silverman highlighted the game's graphical style: 'The nature of the game just doesn't call for fancy graphics, and thankfully things run smoothly. The detail level is very cool, from the green-faced nauseous guest to the marquee scrolling the name of the ride at the entrance.'

He also praised the endless amount of possibilities in designing rollercoaster rides, as well as the huge amount of specific detail, such as the location of a food stall, the player should and can focus on of their park, with the only slight criticisms being the 'sloppy' interface.Gary Eng Walk of Entertainment Weekly, who graded the game an A, called it 'Quite literally, the thrill ride of the summer', and in 2003, the magazine ranked RollerCoaster Tycoon number 68 on their list of the '100 greatest videogames'. Aaron Curtis of Los Angeles Times praised the game, saying that it is 'simple enough to enjoy right out of the box but sophisticated enough to keep even the most obsessive park planner happy for weeks.'

The Xbox port received mixed ratings due to very little improvement. The only exclusive features are no menu buttons (they were accessed by holding the X and B buttons) and a magnifying glass cursor that can be toggled by clicking the left thumbstick.RollerCoaster Tycoon won Computer Games Strategy Plus's 1999 'Strategy Game of the Year' award, and the editors hailed it as 'a superb game that's virtually guaranteed to put a smile on the face of even the most jaded gamer.' PC Gamer US and CNET Gamecenter nominated the game for their 'Best Real-Time Strategy Game' awards, but these went to Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings and Homeworld, respectively. The former publication's editors wrote that RollerCoaster Tycoon 'revived the theme park subgenre with its rock-solid design and addicting play.' Video Review and Screenshots.
