Cut slide graphics.
The start of the project. No, this isn't a very early screenshot of RollerCoaster Tycoon - It's actually the bare bones of a sequel to Chris Sawyer's earlier game, Transport Tycoon. However, it was around this time that he thought of adapting it to handle simple roller coasters. So, you could say this was the 'birth' of RollerCoaster Tycoon
