I wish I still had the time to play this game for hours at a time like I did when I was a kid. Good memories. That soundtrack was fantastic. The composer performed it with real instruments sometime in the past few years and it really brought on those nostalgic feelings: [this video]

Chris Sawyer's work known to me is mainy Transport Tycoon and TT Deluxe (which are now implemented in opensource repository, and I think it even has its own free graphics by now. But the original graphics, and MOSTLY music is great, you can even listen to it, remastered with live instruments on youtube. [this video]
