Train Games (for the interim)

EXTspotter · **on:** June 02, 2008, 07:29:38 pm

There are a number of obvious ones, however one of the best (now extremely cheap games) is the sequel to the DOS classic Transport Tycoon, Locomotion.

There are lots of premade scenarios and vehicles (including planes and trains), but these can be supplemented by user created vehicles and modifications, which make the whole game more realistic. A few of the best packs can be seen on amitrains.co.uk , these include the A320 Pack with colours for many major airlines, including the delights of a Ryanair A320! Also the British Rail and US Packs are very good.

I have made a scenario and map for it too, here is a link to its thread on one of the main places in the Transport Tycoon/Locomotion areas, tt-forums.net.

There is a screenshot of one of the stations in my scenario of the Devon Metro.

Is transport a MMOG or a PC ROM?

Any good, recommend it? Where do you get it? What price?

Its is a PC CD Rom

I would reccomend it. In the UK, you can get it for as little as £5 from shops like Game. In the US you can download it directly from atari.com. As well as eBay...

your talking about transport tycoon right?

if so, I was addicted for a few months before becoming more addicted to it :p

and btw, the game is now free off their website (google it)

No. Locomotion.

You can get TTD off the internet for free, but Locomotion is a prettier game.

Nah, this is my choice of super trains. Not kind of real trains, but i like it.

Trains don't flip 360 degrees like roller coasters.

Locomotion is a great game!
I modified the ingame Boeing 777 to have Boeing 767 and 787 stats, its in the Lomo mods/graphics section somewhere.

It keeps telling me that DPLAY.dll is missing.

In that case, it might be wise to download dplay.dll $:-\$
