TRANSPORT GAMES for PC

Game scenarios for Transport Tycoon Deluxe and A-Train


A-Train New York to Florida by Streamliner game scenario

These are our two very most favorite video games of all time. They are quite "vintage", having both originated in the 1990's. But the attention to detail is amazing, and they are a welcome change from the sameness of many of the newer simulation games.

You can download our free Florida-themed map scenarios here. However, you will also need the game application to play the scenarios. These are available at several game repository websites (some free and others for purchase), some of which are listed below.

If you get the original software, you will also want to download the free DOS emulator called DOSBox, which is compatible with most contemporary operating systems. There is a free optional companion app called DOSShell, which provides a graphical user interface for DosBox's command line.

Transport Tycoon Deluxe box Transport Tycoon Deluxe is an addictive transportation simulation video game for one or two players that allows implementation of several modes of transportation to build a network of routes serving businesses and passengers in the towns and cities on the scenario map.

About TTD Patch:


These Transport Tycoon Deluxe scenarios can be customized in many ways with the companion application, TTDPatch by Josef Drexler, particularly by using the "pre-signals" option. It allows signaled rail systems where trains do not get trapped coming from opposite directions with nowhere to go. You could use double-track instead, but I prefer using single track with passing sidings wherever possible, more like real US railroad practice.



A-Train Box A-Train is a VERY COOL 1992-vintage railroad simulation game by Maxis Software. You can spend more hours than you should being mesmerized by the trains running on routes and schedules that you devise.
