| 1186969 | 2011-03-17 19:02:00 | I've read one of your articles in this month's PCWorld regarding the "comfort games" that one enjoy, like comfort food. I thought it was an excellent article - my comfort games are C & C (not the latest cr*p), and then TT. Just one question - how do you manage to play Transport Tycoon Deluxe on Win 7 - using Dosbox or something? sarel |

| 1186975 | 2011-03-17 23:23:00 | I love TT, so much so that I discovered OpenTTD (www.openttd.org). It's true to the original, but also improves on it. |

Just one question - how do you manage to play Transport Tycoon Deluxe on Win 7 - using Dosbox or something? sarel Hi Sarel, I run it on XP, through Parallels, on my MacBook Pro, and on XP through VirtualBox on my beloved desktop PC that runs Windows 7. I do recommend openttd, too. There are a few nice additions that make it less frustrating than the original, even. There's a really big Russian community that play TTD that follow my blog. Go figure! DosBox should work too - I used that to try playing some really ancient games, such as Bard's Tale (!!) and Pool or Radiance (!!!). I soon regretted trying... |
