If you enjoyed this video, please help share it on reddit, twitter, etc. so that more people can check it out (it helps a lot!) Also, for those interested, I have a mini documentary about The Making of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 that you can watch here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIaVlH-NqsiIiK8 This was originally part of the Chris Sawyer documentary but ended up being cut out last minute as it turned out Sawyer's involvement with that game was less than I had originally anticipated.

Thank you for sharing this video because for such an iconic game of our childhoods, Chris Sawyer is a mystery. I wish the man would open up more to the world.

[@gordonshumway888]

Chris Sawyer in game industry is like Nikola Tesla in physics. They both are ahead of their time. I think, no one will ever be able to repeat what they have achieved. The isometric Transport Tycoon and Roller Coaster Tycoon are the best examples how to make computer games. No shooters, no violence, no Dooms or Quakes, only good and kind motives. Chris Sawyer is on the extra terrestrial level comparing to modern game development industry. His games are the best on planet Earth. The fact that his games are still alive in open-source remakes (OTTD, ORCT, OLM) proves that he is a true genius.

[@Wilderness-Will]

I NEVER knew that Roller Coaster Tycoon was only developed by one person! That's mindblowing-- even more mindblowing is the fact that his initial idea was widely ridiculed by peers as being too niche. This game was an iconic fixture in the childhoods of anyone whose family had a computer in the early 2000s.

[@TurquoiseStar17]

Great work! Chris Sawyer is pretty reclusive, but to code a game like this in assembly language, mostly by himself, takes some real prowess. I've always wanted to hear more about his inspirations and development process.

[@TheGuineaHog]

I loved RCT, it was my childhood. Learning about it's developer and his passions was very interesting. Great vid :))

[@PhilEmmaandBen]

This video deserves many thousands of views. Really well put together, such a classic game that changed many lives. Great work!

[@nightmaresnightly]

awesome video! RCT2 is such an incredible in depth and well thought out game, that I would happily pay 60 dollars for it. Been playing it for over 20 years now

[@NightxLightx]

This man has, and is still giving me hours of entertainment. A big thank you to him!

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ The Transport Tycoon game has just passed its 20th anniversary, so I hope they remaster it and release it again. Please~~ It's a game I really love and a soul game.

[@bigpilgrim1600]

Been looking forward to your next video for ages! Great work!

[@DopeyRaZZ]

im doing another original RCT run, and 'm so glad i found this vid!

[@noahprosser1023]

great video, summarised his interesting journey in less then an hour

[@quentin_godec]

Merci !

[@scofield_lucas]

That's great!

[@UselessDuckCompany]

Good video

[@mattmatt6875]

Maybe it’s the similar taste in anime we have, maybe it was the contrast of your voice over the reviews of light hearted anime. Something about the leepsilon channel made me look forward to its new videos. So it was a little depressing finding out today that all of the videos are gone… what happened? Does this mean no videos to come? :(

[@ReliableRhubarb]

If you go to the Community tab on the Leepsilon channel you'll get the full run down, but the short version is that TBS started manually copyright striking my videos and I needed to private them all in order to prevent KZbin deleting my two channels.

[@mattmatt6875]

@@ReliableRhubarb I dont know who TBS is exactly, however i now despise them on your behalf. Im not sure how easy it is or if you even can, but i hope you continue the channel at some point. i enjoyed the videos and if its any consolation TBS has now become my sworn enemy, and i swear to it i will defeat them a redeem your honor.

[@ReliableRhubarb]

@@mattmatt6875 TBS stands for Tokyo Broadcasting System and is one of Japan's giant media conglomerates. I believe the reason they began targeting my channel was because my Shonen Maid video actually ranked higher than the official trailer in search results and TBS didn't seem to like that. Once they found my channel though, they just began going after other videos indiscriminately. The good news is that their copyright strikes will expire in a few weeks, but I still haven't decided whether or not I'm going to reboot the channel yet. I don't really want to go to all that effort if TBS is just going to start another round of copyright strikes.

This game is so good!!! The graphics don't matter. They look better than Minecraft. Kids can still get into this game. It's never going to die. It's still one of my favorites.
