I absolutely loved SimCity, specifically | the parts that let you build rail/subways to connect city blocks. | I loved Factorios train mechanisms and hope to play with | Satisfactory some day. Recently started Cities Skyline and I've | been obsessed with it. | | What I would really love is for something like a Minecraft but | for building trains/managing transport systems. All the games | I've played treat trains/transport as tools rather than the | central focus. But this looks like it's something along that | line; definitely going to check this out along with openttd. | mig39 wrote: | Looks like a great game to try tonight!

I can't put my finger on it, but it seems | scammy. | [deleted] | mr337 wrote: | I was thinking it was in spirit of https://www.openttd.org/, | but looks like independent? | detaro wrote: | It predates OpenTTD by more than 5 years (i.e. early versions | were more contemporaries to and in the spirit of the original | TT(D)). I remember finding it on magazine a free-/shareware | disc in elementary school and played it quite a bit back in | the day and then off-and-on in later years. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-02-09 23:00 UTC)
