TT free for download?

Post by Sebastian Moleski »

Hi,

at various places in the web, I found links
where you could download TT and TTD
for free. The normal reply as to why they
are free is that TT(D) is no longer distributed
in the US and thus can be given away freely
for download. Is this true? Or is it just plain
warez with a "nice touch"?

Also, does anybody know where I can
purchase TT(D) in Germany? Or is it
"not distributed" there anymore either?

Thanks in advane,

Sebastian Moleski

It is not true, it is warez.
It just has been re-released a few weeks ago in two forms:
1. As budget (DM 30)
2. As bundle with Railroad Tycoon 2 and Rollercoaster Tycoon (DM 90)
Also, does anybody know where I can
purchase TT(D) in Germany? Or is it

Where? Everywhere!
Simply go to your next computer games shop and ask if you don't see it.

Yes it is warez. As Tycoon is now available again in all major games stores
(see Peter J Dobrovka's reply for more) it would become classed as warez
again.
It is your choice.

Download it for free or
Buy it, and contribute to Chris Sawyer, Microprose, and Hasbros funds.

Surely the latter is better all round. If it results is better games, then
I'm all for.

Thanks for everybody's replies. I went to a store and
looked it up. They had it for a good price and if this
keeps Microprose making excellent games so be it.

But that's very silly and immature. Flooding doesn't achieve anything. It
was basically the condemning, and thoughtful replies that got him to remove
it. It just proves the flaming gets you absolutely nowhere. The only way to
end the events, are through constructive replies.

What about launching an infinite mail redirection loop
which will send him an e-mail at every iteration?
(no, no, it's very nasty!)
But that's very silly and immature.
But Paul's quite young. Ok, officially as you are, but...

The way he (intends to) behaves is as immature as his potential victim's.

That's true, but only if the guy you're constructively replying to is easier
to convince than Paul, apparently.

As you (Paul and Eddie) will never agree about him (Denis H.). It should be
a good idea to stop this. That will « get us absolutely nowhere » too.

And so are you. The way you say this, you act like you are around 30.

If you tried your best to show him/her reason, then you've done your part.
The ball is then in their court.
As you (Paul and Eddie) will never agree about him (Denis H.). It should

We have agreed, and so has the whole group, with a few exceptions. I know it
gets us nowhere, that's why a line was drawn under the previous thread.

You coward! Do take a side! Don't be so faint-hearted by putting ****** on
Paul's/Eddies side and behave like a REAL man.

And another thing, but since I learned no abusive language or slang at
school (just the formal form), I prefer shouting and reviling in DUTCH. Here
we go:

"Jij smerige vetvlek, kwaadaardig gezwel aan mijn oma d'r reet, als je nou
je als-door-een kernbom belaagde kutkop niet houd, dan zal duw ik je met die
slijmerige rotkop van je terug in de kut van een stinkhoer die jou gebaard
heeft! En nog een keer commentaar, en ik voer je aan mijn pitbull.
Begrepen?"

Maybe a translation is here on his place here.I'll give it a try, though my
dictionary doesn't supports many of the words above. Remind that I have to
write the author to add them to the next edition. Here we go again:

"You filthy fat-spot, mailicious swalling on my grammy's arse, if you don't
shut your by-a-nuclear-bomb-bombarded, beastly head up, I will push you with
your slimy beastly head back into the vagina of the stinking whore that
beared you! And if you utter your comment once again...I will feed you to my
pitbull. You understand?"

(It took me about 10 minutes to translate this, but it will undoubtedly have
more effect than the dutch version. And a normal reply takes me about 15
minutes. Have you ever realised how hard it is for a not-english speaking
person to speak up for his self in English? You should be a little more
compassionate with me....)

And just one thing again.. my name is ALEX! Not RIJK! Is it really so hard
for you all to read my first name and distinguish it from my last name?

With warm greets,

Alex Rijk.
