Been lurking here for a few weeks, having a look through the scenarios (which are great BTW) so thought it time I did things properly.
But first a RT history.
I started out with RT1 when it came on a magazine give away disc, back in the day. I had no idea what I was doing - there were no instructions - but I enjoyed it so much that I went out and bought the newly released RT2 (guess that was the idea, eh!)
Anyway, loved RT2, that I designed a map for it "Mad King Ed" which Poptop/Take 2 bought for inclusion in the Platinum edition, calling it just "Mad King". (one of my proudest moments that, as sad as that sounds now!)
Time passed and RT3 came, which I loved even more than RT2 - the tycoon is dead, long live the tycoon! - and again I made a map for it, "Ed Land" - the land was in the shap of the letters "E" & "D" geddit!
- which was published at the time but seems to have been lost since then until recently, but I'll get to that.More time passed - don't you hate it when that happens - and along came Sid's Railroads, which I have to say I eventually found disapointing. Sure it looked better than RT3, but there was something, or several somethings, lacking in the game play (sure that's been discussed here before!), and lets not even get into the how many times it CTD before the patches started rolling in.
Anyway, this year, I finally got fed up and went retro, back to RT3 and started to remember just how much fun the game could be, so once having played through all the included scenarios, I started hunting my back up discs for more (thinking that would be the only place they would be), and found several including my own 'Ed Land' (version #5).
Eventually though, I did the google thing, and, well, here I am amongst you lovely Tycoons with the brillinat 1.06 patch installed and loving RT3 even more than before.
with envy.
