or rather you should be very careful when revisiting your childhood games. At least when you're as old as me ( >50 ) because 90% of the games you loved were exceptionally primitive and just bad. And you realize that when trying them again.

🚄🌆 The title screen in Transport Tycoon Deluxe (MicroProse, 1994) is the epitome of "infinite possibilities." Simulating the complexity of the real world at your fingertips. A video game crafted intricately by the talented Chris Sawyer, who coded it in assembly language for speed.
