ROLLERCOASTER TYCOON 1

Q: Can I run RCT on Linux?

Ubuntu users should have no problem running with Wine.
Fedora users might need to set DirectDrawRenderer to opengl in Wine registry and see if that works (winetricks ddr=opengl). (SemperFi's solution).

Q: Where are my saved games?

C:\Program Files (x86)\GOGcom\RollerCoaster Tycoon Deluxe\Saved Games
in 64-bit windows
C:\Program Files\GOGcom\RollerCoaster Tycoon Deluxe\Saved Games
in 32-Bit Windows

bump. sticky. please.

I concur, this is sticky-worthy.

Those cheats are for RCT3. :\

Really? Maybe not so sticky-worthy.

Checking the wiki for RCT cheats, the rename-peep cheats in RCT 1 are:

* Chris Sawyer - Takes pictures of rides

* Katie Brayshaw - Waves to everybody

* John Wardley - Often thinks "Wow!" when on a ride

* Damon Hill - Rides the Go Karts twice as fast

* Michael Schumacher - Rides the Go Karts four times as fast

* Melanie Warn - Makes the guest happy, energetic and removes nausea

* Simon Foster - Paints the landscapes in your park

* Mr Bean (note lack of period) - Rides superslow on the Go Karts!

Also, it seems you can't have two peeps with the same name, but you can change capitalization for multiple names: Chris Sawyer, CHRIS SAWYER, cHrIs SaWyEr, etc.

I have not tried character names cheats but the trainer, save games and other information is for RCT. The names need to be validated.

Google any one of the cheat names and you will see. The few that happen to work on RCT1 are the names of people who helped make the game.

I have updated the FAQ accordingly. Thanks for the info.
