Invest in bringing classic "Roller Coaster Tycoon" sim game to Nintendo Switch, get a share of its profits upon release - Inside the Magic

Since it first debuted in 1999, the “Roller Coaster Tycoon” computer game series has sold millions of copies to fans who can’t get enough of the opportunity to design and build their own amusement parks, complete with rides, paths, food stands, and restrooms. Now Atari wants to bring the phenomenon back on the Nintendo Switch, and they’re asking for help from the world of crowdfunding.

This week the international games publisher launched a campaign on the website Start Engine! that will allow investors to contribute various dollar amounts in exchange for a pro rata share of the profits, once “Roller Coaster Tycoon” is released to the Switch.
