  Timeless fun -- like "SimCity" for buses, trains, ships and planes! June 17, 2006

Yes, an oldie but definitely a goodie! From the same genius behind RollerCoaster Tycoon comes Transport Tycoon Deluxe, a much-expanded and improved version of the original Transport Tycoon. Build, micro-manage, and compete against the computer (or solo play) to establish your own transportation empire! Lay down roads and rails, then add buses & trucks, trains and planes, all to get passengers and cargo where it needs to go! Special emphasis on trains, with steam, electric & diesel engines, plus passenger, mail, wood, goods, coal, oil and many more freight cars. Maglev trains, Concorde planes, ferries, helicopters, too. Exhaustive details (with screenshots!) available at Wikipedia, but simply, an excellent involving game.
 Not compatible with Window of any kind. Run in DOS mode! May 25, 2006

I picked up this game yesterday at my local thrift store for .50. It was in excellent condition. I was excited, because I am a fan of Chris Sawyer. I love his RCT games. But this game is sooooooo old, it was made in 1997 and it says in the insert that it must run in DOS mode. I can't get it to run on my machine. I don't know how to do DOS> Just a head's up for those of you who don't know either. I'm sure this game is awesome, and I know I won't be disappointed, IF I can get it to run! Be cautious. This game is OLD. It actually says in the insert that it was made BEFORE Windows was made.
