Following on from our post about Rollercoaster Tycoon Classic for iOS, I decided to look for other such retro ports and found another gem of a game.
This time, another Chris Sawyer's classic, Transport Tycoon!
Again it is a rebuild for the iPhone / iPad with touch in mind, but the main game is pretty much the same, with a few updates and enhancements to boot.
No annoying adverts to be found either, you are buying the full game.
For those of you who don't remember the original, it's a transport management game where you buy delivery trucks, trains and planes to transfer passengers and goods between cities.
You can rename cities and build routes by road or rail to your desired locations.
Another game I lost many a day / weekend playing on my PC back in the day, it's time to do it all again this time on my phone!
Like with other ports of such tycoon games, the tabs and buttons are a tad bit small and bit of a fiddle on a phone.
Best use your iPad for this or at least an iPhone 6 or bigger screen is recommended.
Probably due to massive bias on my part owing to nostalgia, but a HollettGaming rating of 5 stars: you'll be playing for ages and ages, lots of optiions and scenarios to play, graphics are retro of course but appealing all the same, and you will find it hard to put down.
I'll try find a few more gems like this in future posts!
