Not editing, but who's looked at the .EXE?

Post by type4 »

We all know editing the .exe is illegal, wrong, evil and bad, and could possibly send you blind, but has anyone ever had a snoop at what lies within that mystical file? Does anyone have tales of tantalising glimpses of what Chris was up to before Atari pushed the project on?

I've read tales of AI takeover coding left unfinished, and I am sure that the ai of the trains has more than a few glitches, but what of hidden graphics and features have you found out.
I DON'T WANT TO CHANGE IT, just find out what lies hidden behind those three little letters...

Most of the time if you see those 3 letters, there is a program behind it.

I think the subject has been covered often but never grouped into one topic and I presume that's the idea behind the topic. Might be a heated topic when it comes to what Chris was planning when it comes to certain areas of code. But none the less a good idea for those that want to know.

I think that what Chris was planning to do he realises in his Locomotion.
But after TTD (on original logics) I could not play in Locomotion (on Roller Coaster Tycoon logics, in which I play a lot). Because of this I can not say what in Loc new versus TTD...
