Simutrans is again present at the traditional media. This time is a german magazine called Amiga Future, where you can find a deep review of Simutrans and its nemesis, OTTD:
Release Date:
5 – 15. January 2010 planned – 8. January releasedReviews:
AmigaOS 4 Update 1, Maniac Mansion – Day for the Tentacle, Space Shooter, Bordo, SimuTrans, The Mana World, Open TTD, Reminiscence.
At the cover, you can notice a Simutrans screenshot of, what we assume is the pak128.Britain (bottom row, second picture)
You can take a look at the first page of the article in english or german. It contains only technical aspects (how to run it) and a neutral description of the game but no evaluation/critic.
For those ones who can’t access to the article, Prissi (head developer
coder/patcher) who owns a copy, says that it’s a very kind review, with actual a deeper test (the review is spanning two pages). They have tested nearly all paksets and gave a very kind summary.
“For people who played simcity, Transport Tycoon or OpenTTD, Simutrans has something from each of them. Recommended throughly.“
Another YAY for Simutrans!
And the next step for Simutrans Community will be the world domination :D
AMIGA!!!!!!
HAHAHAHA that is sooo frikkin' Awesome. I had an Amiga for years and its kind of cool / scary to see there are still die-hards and now they can play Simutrans! :)

Simutrans rules – I used to love playing games like A-train and TTD on the Amiga, so finding Simutrans on the PC was great for me. I played OpenTTD for a while before I discovered Simutrans though. I spent some time reviewed and compared both games at length, although since both are changing I do have to keep up.
