Hi there,

I have made a simple C# program that allow to view / extract resources of Theme Park dos game (1994 Bullfrog)

Here is link to project :
https://github.com/tigrouind/ThemeParkRessourceViewer

It allow to view most sprites, animations, backgrounds and also sounds. Game internal files format is very similar to what has been used in Syndicate.

It shows some interesting stuff, like for example unused sprites (because game was finished in a rush, so they dont had time to implement everything ?)

Source code is included, in case someone might be interested to know how the game works or to extend this program. I have made this in a hurry (a few days), code need to be cleaned a little bit.

Note : you need original game to use the program. this is not included with the zip file.

No it's currently not possible. I had a quick look and it's seems game store some files with a ".HMP" extension (is it what you are looking for?). Converting these files to MIDI (so you can listen to them directly from program) seems to be fairly complex. However, exporting files directly as HMP files (they have "HMIMIDIP" in their header) might be easily feasible. They could maybe be converted to another format using some other existing tool.

I do not want to convert HMP files. They are finely played by Winamp and Foobar2000. I just want them to be extracted.

I have updated program. Its now possible to extract HMP files 😀. I have tested under foobar and it work great. I have made other modifications, exporting sounds as wav and animations frames is now possible.

Do you know which game ride is "ride7.hmp" ? never heard it while playing.
