just played the demo. And i wonder, if you make a game the same kind of TTDX, i think to promote the game you would at least put trains in the demo. Or is the train system in TG so bad it would be negative promotion. Furthermore, this game seems to have the same problem as TTDX : it is hard to loose money (but i have to admit, i played at easy level), but i never got to a point i couldn't buy what i wanted too... Anyway, i think ill stay with TTDX for a while "Peter J.
