Owen, what's wrong with the DOS version?

It's more stable than the windows version.

But they do lie, if you ask me.

Sorry for the missprint. When I was on the internet, car came to pick me up for the meeting (2 hours early) and I was distracted. Of course I know the game was published in 1995. I already edited the post. But this still will not take the stupidity of the publisher away.

I remember when TTD first came out it was really hard to get a hold of, I got it for Christmas and didn't see it in the shops at all for a year or so after that (I thought I was special

) Then last year I bought it again, thinking it was the Windows version, they still have bazillions of them in the shops now. I finally decided to download the Windows version, I'm not too into downloading stuff you can still buy, but considering I owned 2 copies of the DOS version it didn't bother me. I'd still be happy to play the DOS version if I could, but I can't so I won't.

Nothing, it's just Windows NT/2000/XP users can't use it. I personally use the DOS version instead of the Windows version. I still have sound effects and high quality music (thanks to Windows emulating an MPU-401 device), and I find it (the game) a lot smoother than the Windows version.

Wow... 8 years and still going strong? That's good for any game. But has the Creator (Chris Sawyer... jus' paying my respects) ever played his own game - the finished version? With the Creator's Human Incarnate's (a.k.a. Patchman) patch?

Oh boy. I sound like a member of the God Squad.

What is MPU-401 device? I have integrated sound card so i have to use windows version to play TTD and patch with sounds. I've also played TTD dos version on older computer, and under dos version, music is a little better than windows.

An MPU-401 device physically is a MIDI port, but some Windows sound drivers (WDM drivers mainly, I think) emulate one so older DOS programs can play MIDI music. If you're using the Windows version of TTD, you don't need to worry about this. The General MIDI option is the highest quality though.

I disagree totally.

When the original version was released, computers were just able to play the game. When building heavy tracks systems, the game was slowing down, as computer was unable to compute more thing.

This game is 10 years old. At this time, a lot of things we can find now in many games was not existing (config files, default limitations changes, etc.) so we can't say they forgot it or were unable to do it, this was not existing at all in any game.

And all the games developed at this time were for MSDOS or for Windows, never to twice. Windows 2000/XP hardware lock that cause TTDLX not running in these OS was only existing on Windows NT 4.0 that wad not AT ALL an OS for playing use. Half-Lafe that is more recent was unable to be used on Windows NT 4.0 (and Windows 2K/Windows XP) before the 1013 patch.

So, I disagree, they didn't forget anything, they just released a very good game, but it is 10 years old. That's all.
