Years after release, I'm still captivated by the patchwork landscapes of Transport Tycoon. The neat fenceposts of the game's cottages, the chugging steam locomotives and the tranquillity of a tiny seaside hamlet are still as arresting as ever.
Having moved to Sweden in the last few months, I downloaded a Swedish building set, selected Kronor as my currency, and set the town names to be Swedish, creating places like Tråtthammar, Fjunnsvik, and the delightful-sounding Gamla Upparp. I build a couple of truck depots and begin operations, but wheat is piling up at the station faster than I can transport it. I build as many trucks as I can afford to maximise my profits while the subsidy lasts, but the backlog remains and the village is getting annoyed at me. I try to build a second lorry depot on each end to ease congestion and shift more stock faster, but the village refuses to grant me planning permission because of my"appalling" reputation in the area.
The first shipment nets me 60,000kr in one pop. That's not bad compared with my trucks, but I was hoping for more. So far, it's only paid for a pair of its trailers. As the train turns around and attempts to climb the hill out of the station, it breaks down. Then an even better idea strikes me. I tell the train to go again, and the trucks start moving. The train rounds to the other crossing, and the truck positioned neatly across it. It's crushed in a fireball under my locomotive's wheels, and the train rolls on, running over a pair of lorries on the other side too. Then, to add insult to literal injury, I stop the train on the crossing again. That's what happens when you mess with me.
