Microsoft Train Simulator.

Is it me? I mean really?

Press g to get in train driver cab
Press e to start engine
Press b to stop at lights and stations

The end.

What kind of butt-muppet is going to play this thing?
No steering.
No ramps
No timetrial
No customising trains

*tumbleweed blows through the office*

Hello? I like train simulators...please talk to me.

This reminds me of other pointless games that I want to make:

Sim Housebrick
Sleep Simulator
Kettle Boiling Simulator
Bus Queue Simulator

I mean really.....a train driver simulator?
Like the Radio controlled car game....just buy a damn car and have fun with that instead of a game where you pretend to drive a model car.

Insanity......

Very! It could be like Sim City. Send a cow onto the tracks and stop every single commuter from getting to work for 3 weeks!

This may be quite good. I mean it would be different from driving a real train. In the game, the trains may actually move!!!

Surely the worst thing to hear as you wake up on a train is:

"Slough. This is Slough."

Nightmare!!!!!

You may laugh, but on the Amiga there was a game called Sensible Train Spotter. Done by the same people that did Sensible Soccer.

My kids had this nice little Lego thing where you could try to build a railway track quicker than, er - the train going along it.
