Interview With Chris (Jacko) Jackson
Webmaster of RCT Inc.
Why did you decide to build an rct website?
I first started RCT Inc. to show the webmaster (crispy5678) my ides for RCTUK, as I’m a staff member there too.
How often do you play on roller coaster tycoon?
I play it when I'm really bored now or when I’m in the mood for it. I have over 130 games and RCT is in my top 5 so ill be playing it for along time to come.
Whats your favourite rct website?
Mine of course! lol na I guess I would have to say RCTUK and RCT Station.
Have you anything planned for a ride exchange?
I wouldn’t mind having one but as I don't know anyone to code it, it would be to hard to have one.
How did you get into roller coaster tycoon?
I got a demo with my PC mag when it first came out (PC Gamer UK) and I got hooked.
Do you have all the add on packs?
Of course I do, if I’m running a site I need all the packs.
How big do you hope to get your website?
I hope to become one of the best RCT sites around, but its only a dream…
Do you have any staff?
Yep I have 3 staff members and many Park and Ride makers and for more information on them check out the staff page.
What would you most like to see in roller coaster tycoon?
I guess “ride your own rides” but it would be a lot to code into the game and also it would be very demanding on the computer itself to, so I would say BIGGER maps would be great and as many sprites as the computer its being played on can handle, so then you can have more visitors as you want without a limit.
Whats your favourite kind of roller coaster?
I would have to say the Steel Twister but my all time favourite ride is the Go-Karts but that’s not a RollerCoaster.
Do you have any bad points about roller coaster tycoon?
I dunno really as I’ve been playing the game for so long I look past all the bad points and just look at the bigger picture of it being one of the all time greatest games.
Your website is your first attempt does that mean you hope to redesign it or just improve it?
I like to try and keep the site as simple and easy to use and navigate but yes I would like to change it some time in the future and the main change I would want to make is turn it into a non-frame site.
