How do people keep finding this game

Post by rdrdrdrd »

well the topic says it all, even after 7 years, there are always new people, not that thats a bad thing, but my question is
HOW
do people keep finding this game, i mean i bought in in 04, but you cant find it in stores anymore
May the force be with you.
For little boys, three things reign as supreme attention-keepers: tanks, heavy construction equipment, and trains, we all know why where here.

I've seen it very recently in the stores- just check the bargain software bin. I think I've also seen it bundled with other "tycoon" style games. Plus, it is downloadable from the Atari website.

Ah, well in that case:
I'm not quite sure, as it was quite a while ago. But I think I came across the promotional trailer on youtube one day. And as I am, I looked into it and decided it was worth it. Then a friend bought it for me without me knowing.

I found it at one of my elementary school book fairs many years ago. They had a bunch of them, then I saw the train on the front and I instantly fell in love.

Bought mine in GAME when new. £20!

The disc however is now mounted in a frame, along with RCT 1 & 2, and other old/completed games.

Yes, I mount my games, problem?

Ive had it since 04 but i lost the CD key and haveing got a new computer "last computer caught on fire (way to go E machine) i havent been able to play it in 5 years till i found a working CD key. Its a good game in a way im glad they didnt make it a seqal cause look at rollercoaster tycoon 3 *cough* it craps *cough*. with a nearly hundreds of mods/addons the games up 2 date and the graphics arnt bad either so im glad the people that have people who have this game still will be played for a many years to come.

Erm, no, no. No problem... /backs away.

If I ever find the original box to my TTDX, i'll give you it. Better you mount it and enjoy it than it sits wherever it is.

I have bought 3 VERY cheap copies ($1.99 when i went to states) and gave them to friends. I think it's almost viral.

I wonder if there will be any more Transport Tycoon games ever... It seems only quake-like, arcade and social games are worth enough to companies invest money on their developments... :(
