RollerCoaster Tycoon Available hits the March 1999 news desk on March 22, 1999. Hasbro Interactive introduces Roller Coaster Tycoon by Micro Prose, where players design, build and manage the roller coasters and amusement parks of their dreams.

Roller Coaster Tycoon incorporates hundreds of coaster-building play possibilities, real-life scenery elements and other non-roller coaster rides and attractions as it challenges players to build a working theme park that satisfies the demanding virtual public. There are no height requirements but you must balance excitement and profits to be a true Roller Coaster Tycoon. The only real test starts now. Boxes, demos, patches, and downloads do not mean much until players start hammering on them.
