The Challenger is awesome

[arizonachris]

Really liking this add on, 2 new steam locos, new rolling stock and new scenarios. But pictures are worth a thousand words, eh?

this is the LA to San Bernadino run:

Beautiful locomotive, really looks nice when she's running, very accurately done. Sounds, workings of the drivers. Well worth the $20. ;)

Thought I would bump this since the Challenger is on sale, what a cool add on!

[lonewolfdon]

Very nice screen-shots. Quite realistic looking indeed. You're starting to sway me over to getting this game while the getting is good (while it's on sale packaged with the Challenger) ;)

[arizonachris]

Those were all in the Cajon Pass scenario, I have a bunch more from the Colorado scenarios.

I wish they would come out with an E7A in SP Warbonnet paint. One of my favorite locomotives. Actually went from LA to Phoenix many times on the Southwestern Chief. The dome cars rule!

Ariz how did you get all the scenerios?? The colorado one?

[arizonachris]

Ariz how did you get all the scenerios?? The colorado one?

Hmm, I'll have to fire the game up in a while and see exactly what the name of the part that has the Colorado scenarios is. Can't remember right now, too many other games in my head.

Sux getting old an being a gaming geek. ;)

OK, once you start the game, choose "Routes" the on the left it's "Castle Rock Railroad" those are the Colorado routes.

Ariz don't feel old I am 40 and started with an atari 800 in the 80's.. I just bought left for dead 2 and actually started plAying games 2 weeks ago after a 3 year break on a laptop I bought from costco which I will return before 90 days and buy another one to keep up with technology. My desktop is over 7 years old abd collects dust.. I started playing counterstrike source again. Lol..

Enjoy.

BTW, nyorker, I'm 13 years older than you. Now I really feel old. My first gaming PC was a Commodore 64 with an expansion slot for cartridge games.

[lonewolfdon]

Hehe. Seems we're a bunch of "old farts" who can appreciate and enjoy relaxing with this type sim (though I still like a good action or shoot-em-up game too). My first "PC" was a Vic-20, came with a whopping 3.5K of RAM, had a memory-expansion cartridge that boosted it to a whole 16K of RAM, wow! hehehe. But yeah, I taught myself to program BASIC on it, and have fond memories of endless hours of gaming, BBSing and programming on it. Moved up to a C-64, then Amiga, then desktop PC's ever since.

Dammit ArizonaChris, it's sort-of your fault, you've helped in convincing me into getting this awesome game. Thanks! :) I'm much enjoying it.

Holy crap, I still have a VIC 20 and an Amiga, sitting in boxes. Far cry to the Phenom II quad and GTX260 I'm running now! :eek:

nyorker, your knowledge of BASIC is better than mine. still can't run a command in the command prompt box! :confused:
