Transport Tycoon

[BiG D]

A while ago some of us here would play transport tycoon on a regular basis, via OpenTTD, which does a few things like stable windows operation and multiplayer.

Well after some chatting about old games in the shoutbox yesterday, Tetsuo and I set up a game yesterday afternoon. I'm hoping we can get a few more people in, as it's quite a lot of fun. If it's something that looks interesting to you (and it should if you like trains in any way, or need a game that runs on an old computer ) definitely check it out. We're partway through the game we started (as they take a while) but if someone wants to jump in I'm sure we could help them out.

It is actually a game that has not lost any of its fun despite the fact it's been, what, 15 years since it was first released? Seriously good game, I'm glad D was able to help me get it working again on XP. Now you all need to take the big step and give it a try think something like SimCity mixed with Monopoly ... kinda. It's a race to see who can get a stable foothold in the business first, but once it takes off (literally, once you finally get some jets in the sky), the whole place opens up and it becomes a whole lot of fun
It's pretty time consuming and needs a bit of patience in the initial establishing procedure bits but given a good try I'm sure you'll love it!

And for those of you looking to make enormous, complex rail systems, you'll want to have a look through the stations and junctions section of the manual. They both have really good examples of how things should look.

PS. Holy fuck! (No, I don't think you'll ever need to use that...)
