The demo I have is from What PC? magazine, I still have the CD at home and will get the demo off of it next time, I don't know exactly when it's from, I would take a guess of about Summer 94, it probably has a date on it somewhere anyway.Lord wrote:I once read something about a tto demo on the cd-rom of a magazine called "PC Gamer". That must have been in 1994 or so. Maybe that's an earlier version... does anyone have such old issues?

If it's the same as the one listed at http://i-want-a-website.com/about-tt/ (about the game page), then don't post it. If not, post it!

Versions of TTO before 1.06.01x (released February 8, 1995) have the tunnel bug. The original release version of TTO does, though.
Another way of viewing your version is to open a DOS prompt and type:
edit /70 tycoon.exe
[replace tycoon.exe with whatever the EXE is called]
and search for "Chris Sawyer". (If you have a hex editor or something like FmView (http://www.wincorner.com), it'll do nicely too). Nearby it should say the version and build date.

I just remembered that I actually have a very old demo of TTO (it actually inspired me to buy the game in the first place). Luckily I have the disk handy, so I've installed the demo and can report the version number: 1.05.126. Unfortunately I don't have any old computers handy to actually try the demo out, but I'll be more than happy to send it around for those that could do this for me.
