it's lame but it should get you through.

My favourite Sim game is Transport Tycoon Deluxe (kept alive and well today by the OpenTTD project). The playing field is an isometric view landscape with towns and various industries like farms and factories. You make money by taking care of transport and thus supply and demand. For example you build airports and send planes between the cities and make money from travelers or you build an oil tanker to bring oil from an oil rig to a refinery or build a train to bring coal from a mine to a powerplant.

What I like about it a bit hard to say though :p: I think it basically boils down to a little feeling of happiness when I see my trains tooting along, making me money. Building my transport empire is satisfying in itself even if I've bought up all my competitors and technically have complete monopoly.

whatever works haha congrats on getting the win.

i was recently playing through Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2. gotta love having to abandon the game at the final boss fight (the 4 on 1 that happens once you beat the 1 on 1) because the only way to defeat the final challenge according to every single walkthrough on the net is to use an exploit.

And you just reminded me I have Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Hehe.

i've had worse haha

my real question now though, where The Phantom Menace was a piss poor film, does this mean the video game adaptation is actually decent?

hahah yeah, games based on movies are NEVER well rated, same as movies based on games. there are very rare exceptions (the original Mortal Kombat movie, and the Dune games) but that's about it. for the most part they're horrible tie-ins from either direction.

Digimon Racing

It's not a terrible game, but is nothing compared to Crash Team Racing (wish I knew were to find that, for an emulator).
