demo off a magazine called Ultimate PC (i think) and just got addicted.
Red Phoenix:
What's your opinion of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2?
Mark Raybould: It is a great
game, not much new features, but it deserves a buy no matter what,
thats why i brought it and i'm addicted to it.
Red Phoenix:
What do you think of the plugins system (importing scenery) RollerCoaster
Tycoon 2?
Mark Raybould: It's not a bad
idea, lets people to create new and exciting stuff! I'm no good
at graphics so i can't do any at all. But in all, it is great what
they are doing now.
Red Phoenix:
It looks like an RCT 2 expansion pack will be released in May 2003.
What would you like to see specifically in the game?

to see a Top Scan type ride in their, they are cool, not to mention
if you ride it 3 times in a row without a break you can getsick
easily :D
Red Phoenix:
What sort of RCT/RCT 2 utility would you like to see developed that
isn't already available?

the 'Have Fun' scenario goal in the scenario editor. It would be
nice.

with some vetrans like Carrie Holsinger starting up, what i say,
the 'New Tycoon Resource' called Tycoon Match.

Mark Raybould: What inspired
you to make RCT?

For those who don't know you, can you tell us a bit about yourself
and what you do at RCT Competition.com?
Mark Raybould: I'm the downloads

some downloads. any way, i am a student at the moment studying 2
GNVQ's. I also love being on the computer at home, playing RCT2

Red Phoenix:
If you could be someone (alive or dead) for one day, who would it
be, and why?
Mark Raybould: Difficult one!
I would be John Wardley, he is such a great RollerCoaster designer!
I love all his ride creations, like Nemesis, Oblivion, Air, Colossus
for example.
