The classic RollerCoaster Tycoon franchise could come to Switch, but Atari is looking for some help to make it possible. Today, the company started a campaign on the equity crowdfunding platform StartEngine. The campaign appears to have a minimum goal of $10,000.

As for the new RollerCoaster Tycoon game itself, it will be the classic simulation gameplay that the series is known for. Atari is also promising the following features:

– Multiple Scenarios – Complete tricky objectives with specific time limits and other constraints.
– Sandbox Mode with Various Landscapes – Create the park of your dreams with unlimited time and unlimited resources.
– Tycoon Career Mode – Expand your park and grow your Amusement Empire.

For a look at the StartEngine campaign, head on over here. The campaign will run for three months. We’ll keep track of this one going forward.

After approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court this past Thursday, Atari is preparing to enter the world of business again after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy back in January of 2013. The company (Atari Inc.) will get $3.4 million from its parent company (Atari S.A.) to get it out of bankruptcy, and then another $1.75 million to restart operations and try to turn a profit. No specific plans have been revealed for what they might do differently this time around, but we’ll likely hear news soon enough.
