I can sort of understand MS flight simulator it is for all the 60 year old who don't admit they like playing computer games so they get this. But what the hell do you do on a train sim? I bet you get to walk down the train checking tickets or something.

My faith in MS has just flopped to an all time low.

MS Train Sim, hhmmmmm:
wear anorak, prepare flask, notebook etc.
does it simulate delays and wrong type of leaves on line too? LOL

I met a bunch of bus spotters once. It was a scary experience.

 

[old.MeanMrMustard]

Yeah i saw a trainspotter a few months ago for the first time ever. I didn't realise they actually existed, i thought it was a kind of insult. It was your stereotypical one as well (like the movies) blue anorak, red socks over trouser legs, notepad, and a worn out wooly hat. He must have been a newbie since he had a manual.

 

[Ono]

Actually there is a series of games called Densa Go Go which are available on the PSX and soon PS2 (come to think of it, I think it's an arcade coversion) which are very popular in Japan. These simulate train driving.

There is even a special controller you can buy for that real train driving experience.

I have them on PSX and it ain't that bad.

 

[Wij]

I find u scary Ono :/

YEP, vaguely.

 

[Stazbumpa]

I could never finish Horace goes Skiing

 

[old.FingerMagnet]

MS Train Simulator?

Is it just me or are there just way too many game releases now days? I cant believe ppl are making any kind of decent profits from PC games now days.

 

[Wij]

Horace goes skiing was OK but Horace and the Spiders had that great stage like Sam Spade or Mr Do's Castle

Is it just me or did Horace seem a bit camp ?

 

[Stazbumpa]

he looked like a Klu Klux Klansman in blue with a large head, no arms and legs where his neck should be.

entertaining character.

my fave game was Bruce Lee tho'.

And Robocop.

Chuckie Egg (better on the Dragon32 than the Spectrum tho').
