Title: Another Simutrans review - Amiga Future
Post by: VS on January 11, 2010, 11:03:45 am
It seems that a German magazine about games on Amiga (?) reviewed Simutrans and OpenTTD:

Cover:

... and it looks like pak128.Britain! :)

Was very kind one, with actual a deeper test (the review is spanning two pages). He has tested nearly all paksets there, and gave a very kind summary. Short summary: "For people who played simcity, Transport Tycoon or OpenTTD, simutrans has something from each of them. Recommended throughly."

Too bad the second page isn't available. This first page dirrtydirk linked contains only technical aspects (how to start it) and neutral description of the game but no evaluation/critic.

Of course i would like to read what they wrote about p32c - though i dont expect good critics, best thing one could write would be "unfinished".

edit: there also is an english version of that site http://www.amigafuture.de/album_page.php?pic_id=14785 (http://www.amigafuture.de/album_page.php?pic_id=14785)

I'm not sure if it's illegal or not, but could you scan the article?

Are you a Dr., Prissi? I'd love to continue reading from the 2nd page, as there (probably) more test results will be provided about the paksets...

For personal stuff, you can look at my homepage. I mean the link is next to the avatar, or at least it should be visible in my profile.

But do not expect too much from the second page, it is some further explanation and then conclusion, as the bottom half is used by something else.
