I was on the lookout for more old simulation games, particularly abandonware and DOS games, and got my hand on Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Basically I’ve downloaded a Windows ported version that the gaming company MicroProse made from its equally successful DOS version.

The editorial mentions that since the game has problems with language recognition, we need to type the following in the DOS prompt before running the game: type “set lang=english”. However, I was able to run the game pretty well even without the DOS prompt command.

To be honest, I’ve never played this game before but the reviews for the game is pretty positive, so I gave it a go. Even after watching the tutorial, I didn’t really understood how to play it. I’d rather the tutorial looked something like Theme Park or Theme Hospital. Thank goodness for the discussion boards, or else I would be at a lost about how to start the game.

If you’re looking for old MicroProse games and other classic games, go check out Abandonia.
