Video game maker Frontier Developments secured some much-needed cash today with the sale of the publishing rights to its 2004 game Roller Coaster Tycoon 3.
The rights to the classic theme park simulation sequel, which continues to bring in annual profits of $1.5 million (£1.2 million) two decades after launch, was sold for $7 million to French gaming giant Atari. Atari already owns the publishing rights to the first two Roller Coaster Tycoon games, which were not developed by Frontier.
