I love that the halted, metallic tones of the first few bars sound like a chain lift for a roller coaster, with the tension in the chords matching the sense of unease one feels going up one. Then the tempo slows down at the top of the lift, before speeding up and diving into the fanfare and fun. Works brilliantly for the mood of booting up the game.
Wait wait, you're the original author? Awesome! This song and most of your work (I say that because I haven't heard ALL of it) is amazing and you truly capture the essence of a roller coaster ride in this theme right here. Well done.
@@allisterbrimble1 Told you that you did well. Grateful for the chats many years ago when RCT was new. Hope to pick up chatting again in the New Year. Take care and look after the family. Have a great Halloween, Christmas and New Year if I don't comment before then. Something for the family from someone else I support. Hope you enjoy it..

Man, 4 year old me getting this game out of a cereal box around 2000 was the start of a lifelong love for these two games. I'm 26 now and I still play RCT2!
I remember being in my friend Adam’s basement in 1999 playing this game and instant messaging girls on AOL. This theme song brings me right back to the good old summer days of 1999
I'm so happy Chris picked you to compose for RCT. The game and your music brought me so many happy memories that I hold onto till this day (I mean, here I am actively seeking and listening to this aren't I?). Thanks for giving us such a great and memorable soundtrack for RCT 1 & your tracks in RCT 2.
The change in mood of this song and decision switch midway through from the slow waltz-like anticipation phase of 3/4 section into the catharsis and release of the more energetic 4/4 phase of the song is truly brilliant. Thank you so much for your efforts in making such a great piece and uploading it for us all to relive and enjoy.
23 years ago. I can't believe it when i think about it. It seems like it was like yesterday when you came back from school and just playing your favourite videogame back then. Still playing it regularly today. Thank you Allister for your work.
This song seems to be about overcoming the fear of riding a roller coaster and having a blast when you do. I love it! Also I just started playing this game again today!
Man, where do I even begin. I have this along with Hypothermia and Modern Style, Fantasy Style, Space Style...and could keep going haha. I take great pleasure in showing so many others your wonderful music! And thanks for having an influence on mine!
I realised the other day that this music is (I think) intended to reflect the path of a typical coaster - a slow chugging lift hill, then a transition into fast paced swirling peaks and troughs, before slowing back down again in a brake run. Very clever!
I remember being like 9 years old in a poor family having to pirate this game because we couldn't afford games. I barely spoke a lick of english and the 400MHz processor on the gifted pc we had, had no issues opening this masterpiece. I remember thinking it's a virus at first because this song started so eerie. god I love this. I ended up feeling bad for having had to pirate the game so I bought it twice as I got older. thank you for this gorgeous piece of art, allister
This is awesome. Roman Fanfare is my favourite - I always applied that to my toughest rides: "'Satan's Railroad' looks too intense for me" "I'm not going on 'Executioner' while it's raining" I also love your PC score for Driver ... especially the Los Angeles section
Allister this is amazing, it's such an integral part of my childhood, thank you so much for touching so many hearts out in the world. Could you please upload the Loopy Landscapes extended version too please? Love your work!
I very much would like to know where did the idea for the Deluxe version theme of the game came from, cause man that really is like a refreshment for the soul
Bummer the only recordings you have are 8 bit, but this sounds so clear and clean. Thanks for composing one of the many great soundtracks to my childhood..
0:54-1:03 Strange. I kinda thought the extension you hear once you have the expansion packs installed would be plugged in there too. Yeah, I know this is the original version, but still. I'm used to hearing that extension.
Now that the Deluxe version of RCT1 is the only version that can be acquired legally to the best of my knowledge, it's so strange to hear the original unextended version of its main theme. That's not a bad thing, but it's still strange.
The most correct way to listen to this music is via Harman Kardon HK19.5. People may not be familiar with this model name, but I'm sure that if you know this song, you know that speaker.
you made this and the driver soundtrack? You had such a creative impact on my teenage years. Did you ever use Music 2000, Music 3000 or any of the Jester/Codemasters games to create music? I've made quite a few myself.
Hehe nice. The main organ sound was done on a Korg Z1 physical modelling synth. I can't remember for the other sounds though.. probably various VST instrument plugins.
With all due respect, sir. I think the RCT2 theme is infinitely better than this, but in a good way though. They sound vaguely similar, but the second game's is a lot better. That's just my opinion though

I will, literally, never forget this song.
It is such a big part of my childhood it's hard to even find the words
I wanna cry. It's like time travelling into my childhood.
Ikr? 😁👍
This triggered many core memories for me
Me too 😊 I loved this game 🎮

there's a neural network in my brain that only contains the songs of this game. thanks for the soundtrack dude!
Same here
I would always let this song play for a few rounds before I started to play the game.
Man, 4 year old me getting this game out of a cereal box around 2000 was the start of a lifelong love for these two games. I'm 26 now and I still play RCT2!
RCT1 & 2 are the best of the RCT franchise in my opinion.
@@CornerFieldHobbyRailfan3 was a good game, everything after was garbage. The first two are still some of the greatest games ever made.
@@S.J.C._Entertainment 100% agree
The song that had played in the back of my head from time to time for over 20 years now. Always a classic.
I remember being in my friend Adam’s basement in 1999 playing this game and instant messaging girls on AOL. This theme song brings me right back to the good old summer days of 1999
After all these years. This is still one of my no.1 favorite of all the game soundtracks I love. I'm learning to play this piece on my accordion.

Actually, I'm still not sure what the time signature of the second part is 😅
Perhaps 6/8.
Give me a darker version of this, all in minor key. Keep the melancholy going.
Definitely one of the greatest themes in the history of video games.
I was three. Still managed to humm along. I love you man ❤️
Happy that you didnt take this down. You've become an important part in history. congratulations.

in all seriousness this is a very well composed song and is a widely popular motif :)
Still not getting tired of it even after listening to it for 25 years.

This sounds so good
This game was my childhood. I miss playing it so much.
I still go back and play this game after all these years. Theres just something special about this game and its theme that no other game can bring.
내가 아마도 처음으로 했을 CD게임이었고 최고의 게임이었습니다. 어린 시절의 기억은 희미하지만, 어릴 때 느낄 수 있는 상상력과 기쁨은 저에게 소중한 추억이 되었습니다. 이 음악과 함께.
Ohh the nostalgia comes back with this. One of the few things I miss from my childhood, it was an escape from all the bad times as a little boy.
Thanks Allister for making my childhood, i mean, everyone else's childhoods happier
I realised the other day that this music is (I think) intended to reflect the path of a typical coaster - a slow chugging lift hill, then a transition into fast paced swirling peaks and troughs, before slowing back down again in a brake run.
Very clever!
I still get hyped when i hear this music.
Merry-go-round 1 is too intense for me!
Oh the memories!
It has such a macabre start
My childhood! Was so good at Roller Coaster Tycoon!
Once every month or so i get this song randomly stuck in my head. 😂
this whole track goes hard but the first 20 seconds takes me to another place
I remember being like 9 years old in a poor family having to pirate this game because we couldn't afford games.

Brilliant composition, well done !
So amazing. Brings me right back.

This piece is so genius
Makes me feel so nostalgic
Why is this so good. Someone need to analyze this.

I wish these songs were on Instagram or Spotify 😀
0:54-1:03 Strange. I kinda thought the extension you hear once you have the expansion packs installed would be plugged in there too. Yeah, I know this is the original version, but still. I'm used to hearing that extension.
You made the best themes
This is like something straight out of a circus.
My childhood!
You should remaster this
Now that the Deluxe version of RCT1 is the only version that can be acquired legally to the best of my knowledge, it's so strange to hear the original unextended version of its main theme. That's not a bad thing, but it's still strange.
big fan
you are genius
i play this game all the time

May I ask how this song was created originally? Thank you for your time.
cool and new, i ligke it
Your music made my life! hehah Amazing! :D
something was, and still is creepy about this music
It sounds like the circus, whose music has an uncanny valley to it imo.
The main instrument being emulated here is the calliope. I say this because I was trying to find it for years.
The most correct way to listen to this music is via Harman Kardon HK19.5. People may not be familiar with this model name, but I'm sure that if you know this song, you know that speaker.
Good thing steam didn't track hours played when this game released....

After hearing this a thousand times, I still don't understand the time signature.
Sounds like 3/4
Sounds like 3/4
I'm not sure I remembered Microprose being the original publisher here. Yes, I know, "Tycoon" but I kind thought they were gone by then.
They Published the first one before buying Atari, then swapping names to become Atari. Todays Atari is the Microprose of Yester-year.
you made this and the driver soundtrack? You had such a creative impact on my teenage years. Did you ever use Music 2000, Music 3000 or any of the Jester/Codemasters games to create music? I've made quite a few myself.

I got some of Plants vs. Zombies vibes too
say would you ever remake the old RCT songs from Scratch if you could?
What did you use to make this? I can't think of any synths off the top of my head with sounds like this. The closest I can assume is something Roland?
A Korg Z1 physical modelling synth for most of the sounds I think

Stil got the old windows 98 computer laying around with rct 1 and 2 on it, do you remember sort of what you used to make the music with?
Hehe nice. The main organ sound was done on a Korg Z1 physical modelling synth. I can't remember for the other sounds though.. probably various VST instrument plugins.
It was? i remember when i heard the music of driver, i really digged that drum set and the base for it.
This is Original theme
I want to hear this music on Apple Music!
Is it possible?
If I get time soon I'll remake it to the right standard and put it up on Apple music etc
@@allisterbrimble1 thank you for your answer. I really like your songs.
Hahaha yay :> \ //
What was the high pitched instrument you used for this music?
The calliope. With some sort of tubular percussions.
울~짖~마 우후후 정말 달콤해!
sequel of ayuoki right there.
With all due respect, sir. I think the RCT2 theme is infinitely better than this, but in a good way though. They sound vaguely similar, but the second game's is a lot better. That's just my opinion though
