About Chris Sawyer


Chris Sawyer is a games designer and developer. He is the man behind Rollercoaster Tycoon! When developing the 1st Rollercoaster Tycoon (RCT1) Chris did most of the research himself using books, magazines and other material. He did this to minimise the number of people knowing about his development. The start of the game was from the bare bones of a sequel to his earlier game, Transport Tycoon.



Chris didn't have much of a passion for Rollercoasters when starting the project! He didn't enjoy riding them, however, he liked the engineering, design and 'look' of them. As he developed the game his passion for them grew and the enthusiasm fed of each other.

Rollercoaster Tycoon's expansions, loopy landscapes and corkscrew follies, were both developed by Chris Sawyer in 1999 and 2000 respectively. The second game in the Rollercoaster Tycoon series (RCT2) was also developed by Chris Sawyer and released in October 2002. The game includes a scenario editor, more rides, larger worlds, more detail, more building options, and Six Flags parks. Two expansions were released for RCT2, Wacky Worlds and Time Twisters released in Spring and autumn 2003 respectively. The two expansions were developed by Frontier Games, working with Chris Sawyer. This partnership would be the back bone partnership of Rollercoaster Tycoon 3.
