Editorial Review:Amazon.com Review Train Simulator takes the obsessive realism of Microsoft's best-of-breed Flight Simulator games down to earth. Six real-world rail lines are included from throughout history, including the Flying Scotsman line of 1920s England and the modern Odakyu Electric Rail commuter line in Tokyo. Attendees at the National Model Railroad Association's August 2000 convention marveled at the game's painstaking attention to detail. But this game is not a model railroad game; it simulates the real thing. The game's developers traveled across the world with cameras and microphones in order to authentically capture the trains in their natural habitats. Train Simulator lets you experience the world's greatest trains in all their glory. Train aficionados can drive the train, run the rail yard, or dive in with the terrain editor and create the rail lines of their dreams. Or you can just sit back, relax, and admire the beautiful scenery and dreamy click-clack of the tracks. --Andrew S. Bub

- If you like trains
If you like trains I guess you will like this one. Surprisingly you need to pay attention. You can't just fire her up and walk away. At least not for long.

- Simulates Operating a Train
The title says it all: Train Simulator. This gives you all sorts of buttons and switches to mess with on Steam, Diesel, and Electric locomotives. It takes a while to get used to it (and it really helps when you turn the so-called "easy" controls off), but it can be quite an enjoyable experience to get down the tracks.

The "game" part of it comes in when you start having to stop at stations accurately (the closer you get to the optimal target, the less time you have to wait there). This ... Read More

- MSTS is the greatest game ever!
MSTS is the greatest computer game I have ever played. If you are a railfan, then you will love this game. I highly recommend it. And I can't wait for MSTS 2 next year!
