Chris Sawyer's Locomotion is the guy behind RollerCoaster Tycoon doing transport logistics instead of coasters, and it's got that same obsessive, chunky, slightly janky charm. Build rail, road, water, and air networks from the 1800s onward, wrestling with gradients, junctions, and timetables that never quite behave the way you planned. It's not flashy, the UI shows its age and the tutorial barely exists, but there's real depth in the track-laying and terraforming, and the isometric sprite art has more character than most modern management games manage. For me though, this one isn't really about the mechanics. I used to boot this up right after school, bag still on my back, racing to get a rail line built before my dad got home from work. Then he'd pull up a chair and we'd sit there together, him handling the finances, me building unnecessarily elaborate bridges because I thought they looked cool. Some of my calmest childhood memories are just the two of us watching a coal train crawl across a line we built together. Jank and all, this game is tangled up with a genuinely good stretch of my childhood, and no patch will ever touch that. Recommended.
Having played the original Transport Tycoon and Roller Coaster Tycoon games back in the early 1990's on my x386 I naturally migrated to Locomotion in the early 2000's and it soon became my favourite over Transport Tycoon. I've played these Chris Sawyer games for the best part of my life, even building a retro-PC dedicated to Locomotion and Roller Coaster Tycoon CD installs. When I noticed this title on Steam I instantly purchased. As the game goes it is exactly the same, with the addition of an A380 aircraft. Sadly the game screen is still square and doesn't seem to scale to modern widescreens, which was why I hoped to retire the retro-PC. Removing signals remains the bane of my life 30 years later and a few bugs such as when you replace a mail carrying aircraft and it defaults back to passengers and when a multiple drive train starts breaking down in sequence preventing it's replacement are still present. None of these fancy new titles come anywhere near the longevity of these classics, I'll be playing this until the day I die.
