One thing I think worth noting was how this game was so accessible for lower income people like myself. Growing up I didn’t have a lot of games, and my computer was years outdated. I got RCT in a cereal box and because it was designed so well it ran on my crappy PC. I think that accessibility really allowed a huge bunch of young gamers to get to play this and has attributed to its long-standing nostalgia.

By the time it was in cereal boxes it was way passed it’s hay day. It was huge in the 90’s as an expensive game because Chris Sawyer invented a whole new way to program a game, using a 3D grid rather than 2D with 2 levels like Sim City, AOE and SC. The coding methods used to eliminate lag and have smoothness to movement were incredible at the time, even more incredible than GTA1’s free roaming aspect.

Roller Coaster Tycoon - Some Assembly Required ;)

It was briefly mentioned in the video, but for me a huge reason why I loved the first two games so much was the visual aesthetic. It's hard to put into words the exact appeal, but I would say it has a timeless art style, or even a "stylized realism" look, whereas games like RCT 3 or Theme Park had a more cartoon-y look. And while Planet Coaster and Parkitect are both great games, for me personally they unfortunately couldn’t capture the specific charm of RCT 1 and 2. But I think there’s another element in the appeal of the first two games that doesn’t really get mentioned: the sound design. The sound of the rides operating and running up and down hills, the guests’ chatter and laughs and screams, the ride tickets ticking, the solid thud when placing rollercoaster tracks and pressing any of the UI buttons, and the diegetic music from rides like the Merry-Go-Round. All these sounds harmonize together perfectly and create a real meditative experience. This is another aspect I think unfortunately the successors haven’t been able to truly recapture. Great documentary, I enjoyed it immensely! It’s heartwarming to see the game still being played and attracting new audiences, which I think speaks to the game’s design. It’s also great seeing developers who are inspired by the game and using that inspiration in their own games (which includes myself!)

The last segment. Right in the feels. TTD / RCT was my childhood. So many memories. I really wish Chris could have been apart of this, however I completely respect his wishes. I do hope he can see this, and fully understand and appreciate the massive community he spawned. Well done guys. Awesome episode!

This was fantastic. As a 80s/90s kid, there were 3 computer games that shaped my childhood: Age of Empires 2, The Sims, and RCT2. So much nostalgia for the series, and especially its technicality. And as someone who has recently got back into the genre thanks to finding Parkitect on Steam, I was thrilled to see them featured in this. Awesome doc!

This Chris Sawyer guy is a bloody genius. Loved transport tycoon!

Me - 32 year old, Scottish, videogame dev - a lot because of these games growing up. I remember being in the Wellgate, Dundee, Scotland, being 11 years old, and seeing a computer store just playing the idle menu cycle animations of all the theme parks created in this game, and being starry eye-d and just NEEDING this game. Eventually I convinced my parents to buy it for me and I loved it. Still do. This video is SO true and unrenowned to how I've felt over growing up with the series, and how Atari milked it into oblivion. Parkitect was also the first Kicstarter game project I backed cause I needed that nostialgia, and love OpenRCT2 a bunch......heck, what a fucking feels trip.

It was awesome seeing Marcel get some love. He's definitely one of three reasons why OpenRCT2 has blown up. The other two being the Mr. Bones meme and, we can't forget, Vinesauce Joel's videos, which actually were what got me myself back into the game.

Roller Coaster Tycoon will forever be the main foundation for which 2 of my lifetime passions were born; Computer gaming, and roller coasters. I can not thank Chris enough for all the work he has done.

I remember me and my friend from kindergarten played this on his dad's computer. We had no idea what we were doing, but he would build go kart tracks and watch the karts race, rooting for a specific color. When the tracks broke down, we'd just build another because we didn't know how to hire engineers (but we had unlimited money). Now I'm about to graduate college. Haven't played it much nowadays, but always a game I have fond memories of.

Grew up playing RCT2 as a kid. One of the few games that worked on my very non-gaming PC all those years ago. So glad to see the love for this series is shared by so many other people. Nobody I knew at all knew or cared about this series so I had nobody to relate with. Chris Sawyer's radio silence is also very endearing. Just the mystery of it all and the man.

Roller Coaster Tycoon truly is legendary status. It's hard to find a single fault with this gem.

I now work professionally in games as a programmer, and RCT1 was one of the driving inspirations behind my starting and learning to program. I hope wherever Chris is he's well.

Honestly I could go for a full five minutes of that intro jam. This is some fresh (old) stuff!

OpenRCT2 + Parkitect + Planet Coaster = the triumvirate of excellent theme park games nowadays.

Whoever edited the intro, keep that man around. Incredible work.

That intro, brings tears to my eyes every time.

No way, I just binged through Marcel's channel and started playing RCT again!

Fantastic episode!

To build something like this in Assembly and by yourself, is simply astounding

I think the biggest thing that made RCT as timeless as it is is the nostalgia. Not necessarily the nostalgia from the game itself, but theme parks itself. Going there as a kid, all the fun you had, wanting to ride every ride you saw, never wanting to leave, always excited to go back. RCT gave us all a way to not only experience it through the eyes of each individual guest, but to put yourself in their shoes. Ride fun rides, eat tasty food, take in the sheer amount of fun each guest had before they ultimately went home. Once you were all done, you get to sit back and marvel at what you just made, imagining walking around your own park, riding your ride you just built... even if you were a kid playing the game, it made you feel like a kid. It didn't stress out too much about the management side of things. It was truly your sandbox and you got to make of it what you wanted, and the fact RCT was able to achieve that is not only magical, but define what video games should really be about.

Literally grew up with RCT and RCT2 so excited to watch this! Thank you!

The fact that Marcel Vos was a part of this makes me happier than I should be.

This game is my childhood. I was born after the initial release and remember my sister showing me it. I love it. The personality, the functionality, the replay ability. There's not many games I'd say live up to the incredible standards of the first two RCT games. Masterpiece.

As someone who grew up far away from any amusement parks, Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 and 2 were my only exposure to theme parks and amusement parks in general for most of my life, and that's definitely part of what helped draw me into the game.

That intro tho! Kreygasm

Never expected to hear Marcel Vos in a Noclip video. This seems to be the start of a great series! *hug*

The Greatest Hits intro is FIRE.

My wish is that some day Chris will do a deep technical dive into the code he wrote for RCT and RCT2 for us programming nerds. I've always had a love for assembler and its community.

This game was my childhood. RuneScape and Rollercoaster Tycoon are the only games my mum can recognise just from a screenshot.

Parkitekt is truly the spiritual successor to Chris Sawyer's games. If you have not played it, I definitely recommend it. You won't regret it.

This was great! I think Rollercoaster Tycoon will always be my all-time favourite video game. Above GTA's, Assassin's Creed's and what-have-you, Rollercoaster Tycoon will always be timeless Great work Danny and Co, I look forward to more!

A fantastic new series! There are so many cult classics you could cover this way, I can't wait to see where this goes.

Great video! RCT was my first big "addiction" in video gaming. i was in middle school and my friend's dad was a bit of a PC gamer and that is where i learned of the game and got hooked. in 2000 (I was like 10 yr old) i was given an old windows 95 IBM or some-sort and did everything in my power to get RTC on it. I bought the game from my schools scholastic book fair for $15 in change (coins only) and If i actually remember properly the computer had something like a 5mb graphics and 200mhz processor. I would get up early for school just to play it for 30 mins and then i would day dream and plan my build all day while at school. RTC really showed me how amazing PC games can be and I've always been a PC guy since, the last time i owned a console was ps2/GameCube.

Great doco! I grew up with this game and played the shit out of the demo. My sister and I drove my dad insane to buy the full version, I still remember going to the shop with my dad to buy the game and my sister and I played it pretty much daily for years back when we could only get 1 or 2 games per year. Amazing memories - still play the game every now and again and still get so much enjoyment out of it.

Absolutely loved this! Unsurprisingly, the videos you make about the games I've played, or games I really like, are my favourite of your videos. RCT was one of the first proper computer games I played.

This is such an incredible documentary! Much thanks to everyone in this video and the people behind the scenes!

That credits intro is amazing!!!! Love how it pays homage to so many games while being so cool. It must have been such a great amount of work

I was introduced to RollerCoaster Tycoon by my uncle, who had it on his PC at his house. I remember being excited to play "the rollercoaster game" whenever I went over, and one day he gave me a burned copy with funky yellow and green custom printed disk art. Sadly he passed away a good few years ago, but the game will never fail to make me think of him :)

I was born in 97 and some of my earliest memories were sitting on my moms lap while she played RCT. Such a simple, well designed game that was accessible to me at 4 and grandparents in their 70s.

I loved every moment of this; from the eye-catching intro to the end credits! I grew up on these games and my love of roller coasters and theme parks comes from countless hours spent playing them as a child. Thank you for such an amazing video dedicated to one of the best games of all time. And a big thanks to Chris Sawyer for defining a genre that took an entire generation by storm. I look forward to the next video, Noclip, amazing work!
