A Train



Greetings,

I wanted to let you all know that a great game from Maxis works fairly 
well under Executor.  'A Train' is a simulation similar to SimCity but 
you're in control of setting up trains.  It runs at a nice clip, with 
smooth animation.  There are a couple of quirks though.  For some reason 
you can't save games onto a .hfv drive.  It saves with no apparent error, 
but when you try to reload, it says it can't load.  It loads fine from 
the Linux partition though.  That's the first trouble I've had with the 
.hfv drive, i.e. text files from Microsoft Word save there just fine.  
Another quirk is that under Linux the speed control doesn't work very 
well, slows it down too much, but it works well under DOS.

Anyway, this game is only $15 from Maxis, well worth the money.  Just do 
a Lycos search for Maxis under WWW and you'll find it.
