Not even a belly of money too, Spiff :D. But for €5,- you can't get a bad buy I think. Tragicly how a game sinks in price so rapidly.

Spiff: it's waste, not waiste ;).

How old are those games, the oldest possibly being 3 years old?! Quite a price dump, €3,- per game. I wish more games took a price dump like that :).

The faster the price of a game is decreasing, the worse the game was, I think. I'd rather pay 10 euro's for TTD than 1 euro for LoMo.

Wish I came onto this website initially before just heading online and buying this game. Well, I bought it because a few other places gave it the thumbs up. Well, live and learn I guess. Should have had a few alarm bells ringing though, because on the main site, when discussing the new World Expo building someone oopsied and said it was in Melbourne, when I recall I was in Brisbane in 1988, and got lost at the expo.

Is it just me, or does that expo building look a little too victorian/european for my liking?

I bought the game, for only 5 euros. I tihnk it is a nice game it has a lot for the eye, however the gameplay is minimal. I really enjoy seeing those horses and horsetrams though...

In short it is not worth more then the 5 euros i spend. but the features, down under and the nice graphics provide a couple of hours game time. Also the difficulty of all industries makes it interesting...

And there is no tutorial that comes with the game, a newbie will rip his hair off his head figuring out how to build a piece of rail.
Tell me about it..but after a while i started t enjoy it. ive now got Industry Giant 2 - Gold Edition. so im actualy a supporter of this game.
