PACK ‘ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON® 3: WILD!’ Safari Theme Park Adventure to Hit this
Fall
NEW YORK, NY, August 17, 2005 –
Lions and tigers and bears never had it so good as Atari, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATAR)
today announced RollerCoaster Tycoon® 3: Wild!, an adventure-filled expansion
pack for RollerCoaster Tycoon® 3, one of the most successful PC games of 2004.
Scheduled for release this fall, RollerCoaster Tycoon® 3: Wild! invites tycoons
of all ages to create and manage a safari-themed adventure park that features
thrilling new rides as well as many different animal species.
“RollerCoaster Tycoon® 3: Wild!
delivers more coasters, more rides, more scenery, new themes, and new additions
to gameplay that further enhance the RollerCoaster Tycoon experience,” said Matt
Collins, Director of Global Brand Management. “Just as real theme parks continue
to evolve, the Rollercoaster Tycoon series offers ‘virtual patrons and
entrepreneurs’ the opportunity to test their business and entertainment prowess
and build the most enticing adventure park to date.”
RollerCoaster Tycoon® 3: Wild!
retains the focus that has made the franchise so enduringly popular, and
encourages players to increase their parks’ cash flow through new attractions
such as baby animals, new shops and billboards. RollerCoaster Tycoon® 3: Wild!
includes customizable animal shows, cutting-edge and classic theme park rides,
and a slew of characters including a VIP, an animal keeper staff member and the
tiger mascot – an old RCT favorite. Players can now recreate their favorite
safari-style theme parks, with elephant rides and the Paddle-Steam Cruiser, and
choreograph animal shows using the RCT MixMaster™.
Created by Frontier Developments,
Ltd. in conjunction with Chris Sawyer, the creator and sole developer of
RollerCoaster Tycoon, RollerCoaster Tycoon® 3: Wild! is scheduled to ship this
fall for the Windows platform. Additional information about the franchise is
