Rail Simulator

:think:
Who remembers 'Kennedy Approach' ATC Simulation on -8-bit - with 'ground breaking' speech synthesis?

Joystick controlled, the screen was a series of dots into each airfield, and the odd thundercloud would appear as you 'vectored' AC onto finals.....

Each to his own I suppose.......... :think:

I have a friend who's so keen on steam engines, if he was run over by one he'd be chuffed to bits :doho:

Run over by a steam engine...chuffed to bits...

Garry you really are elevating puns to an art form, mate.

I think Garry's gone off the rails..! :fart:

Looking at that screenie Ian.. I can see that it may well be addictive in a Space Invaders sort of way. It's not so much the train side of things.. more a 'man against machine' scenario Don't think I'll be joining in but thanks for sacrificing yourself in the name of science and public interest ;-)

Ok, I will admit i do play simsig, laugh all you want but i do find it enjoyable and challenging at times. Until recently infact i could not see the point of fly airliners and thought it was mind numbingly boring but with the advent of flynet it really gives a reason to conduct these flights.

I must say that I rather enjoyed this as a Flight Simulator and made some VERY long flights:-

Has anyone ever played TRACON? I played it a lot ages ago when it ran in DOS. Then a Windows version was produced (sorry for the poor screenie). A seriously intense simulation.

Ian,

Tell 2J12 to get a move on! He/she is holding up the next train at a red signal.
