simpson yellow Posted May 21, 2004 GC2 looks awesome ysbreker, ta for the screen and links. I'm playing and loving the original at the moment, although I'm not normally a huge fan of RTS (it's the squad tactics and micro management that I find so much more enjoyable than other RTSs). Here's hoping they pull off the sequel properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ysbreker Posted May 22, 2004 I forgot to mention this one: Locomotion classification: transport sim release date: september 2004 no official site yet first info about locomotion Ever since the original, I've wanted to create a new version of Transport Tycoon. In fact, I've been working on new versions on and off since 1996. However, these projects were either abandoned or postponed while I concentrated on RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. In fact, both [of these games] grew out of code written specifically for a new version of Transport Tycoon. Once RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 was finished, I decided to concentrate fully on creating a new transport game, using all the ideas and experience from the previous attempts and from the original game.
