Holy shit microprose is back!?
This is one of those games I don't think will ever actually be released
Wow they really went for the RCT look, even the logo. I uh, would've preferred a theme park game tbh...but I'll definitely play this.
Game looks and sounds fun. A different take on the rollercoaster tycoon genre. I will definitely get it
This honestly looks pretty good.
Holy crap - it's real?!?!?!?

Yeah it's made by a Dutch guy. He came up with the idea as satire seeing how stupid the American infrastructure is and how stupidly they clamb onto their car dependant world contradicting all statistics while we, here in The Netherlands, are making the country more cycling, walking and public transportation focused and push cars out of our cities.
Zutphen city centre is already completely car free. Other cities make increasingly more streets car free, increase parking costs to prices as high as a pack of cigarettes per hour (and those are expensive too) and push for stricter emission regulations. Car infrastructure is sacrificed for extra wide and safe bike paths. I sold my car because driving in the city and parking is stupid, so I rather take my e-bike by train when traveling to other cities to avoid traffic jams and parking costs.
Oh, I know all about the Netherlands; I am American and I think cycling is great. I just didn't think anyone would make a game based on all this. Its very cool though.
I was not aware that MicroProse still exists. Or at least something with its name.
The name was passed around to a dozen corporate holders that didn't bother using it until someone bought it a few years ago for a "revival"
Gotta say. Love the isometric pixel art in this trailer. Looks like something the real microprose might have put out in the 90s
Well I don't know, I saw the MicroProse logo appear on the screen and I thought, I must have this game.
Just on the basis that I grew up playing Transport Tycoon.
The game does give an atmosphere of the 90s.
I actually never played Transport Tycoon (I was more into Industry Giant and the more casual Railroads!), but I have played other MicroProse strategy games like Pizza Connection.
