Transport Tycoon $100 million challenge

Post by sarcasticon »

I remember this challenge from another forum some years ago, but it seems it's no longer alive there.

Basically the idea was to start a random map in 1950 and try to reach a company value of $100 million as early as possible. Difficulty level could be whatever you want, though for comparison purposes the standard ones (easy, medium, hard) are of course preferred.

Of course there are several ways to exploit the system in order to boost your company value, so it's nicer to avoid those and get a clean score (e.g. not spending all your cash buying 20 trains in the same depot with the sole purpose of adding to your company value)

Record to beat (excluding scores reached through exploiting the above-mentioned trick): Hard difficulty: October 14th 1983
Though I would say that anything before 1990 on hard difficulty is admirable + anything before 1980 on easy is very nice as well.

Feel free to participate :)

well you would have to play this in plain TTDX as there are so many new things in the patch and open, that it would be difficult to keep track of how to define easy, medium and difficult
The occasional look back at your past can teach you a great many things...

Hm, fair point, the original challenge was indeed in TTDX.
