Nowadays I have DOSBox installed which works fairly well for me. Sometimes I need to adjust CPU settings in it using the function keys, but otherwise, it's great. Much as I do love OpenTTD (Open source remake of Transport Tycoon Deluxe) playing the original Transport Tycoon from 1994 is still fun. Plus the oriignal DOS Railroad Tycoon and Railroad Tycoon Deluxe. I also set myself up an old iMac G3 (333MHz CPU - the tray loading CD drive version) for old Mac games. I found A-Train will NOT play well in any emulator, and Railroad Tycoon tends to make Basilisk II emulator crash. To be honest, Railroad Tycoon on a Mac is so much better than Railroad Tycoon in DOS. The graphics are much, much better, and so are the sounds. Yes, sounds, something RRT for DOS pretty much lacked entirely.
One thing I do wish, is that there was a fix for Mac Theme Park. That game is fairly buggy.n Park visitors stop coming when the park grows to a certain size, and the DOS version is not any better. That one has a mouse bug, though I was able to fix it using a hex editor and instructions found on the web.
Without trains America Stops- Support Amtrak
Old trains never die. They just sit in ruin and wait until the day they are taken in by a skilled craftsman and rebuilt to their former glory.
