Railroad Pioneer

Love this classic game, it is over 20 years old and still better than a lot of todays games.

Es ist ein wunderschönes klassisches Spiel aus dem Jahre 2003. Es ist fast zwei Jahrzehnte her wo ich das Spiel Railroad Pioneer zum ersten Mal gespielt habe. Und vor kurzem habe ich das Spiel bei meinem Freund wiederentdeckt. War überrascht, dass das Spiel plötzlich auf Steam bei ihm war. Also habe ich mir ein paar Tage später mir selber auf Steam geholt. Es wird noch verrückter: Das Spiel läuft auf Linux nativ, ohne dafür eine Protonversion zu aktivieren! Dank Publisher des Spiel auf Steam. Zu Beginn muss man doch selbst einen kleinen Fix vornehmen, da der Publisher irgendwie verpeilt hat in deutschen Version Sounds einzufügen. Aber dafür gibt es entsprechende Guide auf Steam, welches eigentlich direkt auf Spieleseite zu sehen ist. Ich erinnere mich noch, dass ich das Spiel Railroad Pioneer nie komplett durchgespielt habe, da es damals anscheinend im Verlaufe der voranschreitenden Missionen zu schwerwiegende Bugs kam, woran dann die Lust daran verlor. Ich weiß nicht ob diese Bugs mittlerweile heute schon gefixt wurde. Jedenfalls konnte ich in ersten zwei Missionen keinen schwerwiegenden Fehlern vorfinden. Aber ich werde es noch nachtragen, wenn ich wieder auf solche Stoße. Inzwischen schwelge ich in nostalgische Erlebnissen. :-)

Спустя, лет 10 решил пройти компанию. В дестве, не смог пройти, баги и краши, непонятное управление и геймплей. Что же сказать игра, состралилась плохо. Но если любите подобный сеттинг, можно смело поиграть.

Старенькая но классная игрушка!

Как вылетала в старые добрые так и вылетает сейчас, а из за отсутствия автосохранение получается боль еще та! Так что пусть живёт в положительных воспоминаниях а не так как получилось у меня! Хотелось бы увидеть как минимум ремейк данной игры а ещё лучше продолжение.

Folyton lefagy és kidob a Windowsba. Már a CD-s verzió is csinált ilyeneket, de nem itt a 4 pályánál, annál a 10 környékén csinálta. Ha valaki tudja mit lehetne vele kezdeni, szóljon. Mert imádom ezt a játékot, és így a STEAM-es verzió sokkal rosszabb. Így élvezhetetlen. Addig nem ajánlom, csak szenvedni fogsz. Nem értem miért csinálja, néha be is laggol. Régen azt hittem a VGA kártya hibája, de egy rosszabbnál is ugyanezt tette. :(

Понимаю что игра старая. Но исправьте вы уже эти зависания

Sono stato sempre un grande appassionato di questi generi, ho prevalentemente giocato a Railroad Tycoon. Pero' debbo dire che anche questo e' ottimo, occhio perche' essendo un vecchio gioco ha un tutorial risicato e poco chiaro, ma sforzandosi un poco si capiscono le meccaniche e diventa subito molto facile farsi prendere! ---{ Grafica }--- ☐ Fotorealismo ☐ Bello ☐ Buono ☑ Decente ☐ Pessimo ☐ Non guardarlo troppo ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Molto Buono ☑ Buono ☐ E' un gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Guarda la vernice asciugarsi, piuttosto. ☐ Proprio no ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Melodia per le mie Orecchie ☐ Molto Buona ☐ Buona ☑ Non troppo male ☐ Male ☐ Non sono sordo ---{ Platea }--- ☐ Bambini ☐ Ragazzi ☑ Adulti ☑ Nonna ---{ Requisiti PC }--- ☐ Controlla se fai girare PAINT ☑ Normali ☐ Decenti ☐ Veloci ☐ Riccastro ☐ Chiedi alla NASA un PC in prestito ---{ Difficoltà }--- ☐ Devi solo premere 'W' ☐ Facile ☐ Facile da imparare / Difficile da padroneggiare ☑ Uso intenso del cervello ☐ Difficile ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Ripetitività }--- ☐ Nulla da ripetere ☐ solo se ci tieni alle classifiche ☑ Non e' necessario per progredire ☐ Ripetitività Media ☐ Tante cose da Ripetere ☐ Giornara da 48h solo per ripetere le cose ---{ Storia }--- ☑ Nessuna Storia ☐ Un po di Storia ☐ Media ☐ Buono ☐ Interessante ☐ Rimpiazzera' la tua vita. ---{ Tempo di Gioco }--- ☐ Abbastanza lungo per una tazza di caffè ☐ Corto ☐ Medio ☑ Lungo ☐ Verso l'infinito e oltre ---{ Prezzo }--- ☐ E' Gratis! ☑ Vale il suo prezzo ☐ Se e' in svendita ☐ Se ti rimangono dei soldini ☐ Non raccomandato ☐ Nel caso puoi anche bruciare il tuo denaro ---{ BUG/GLITCH }--- ☑ Mai ☐ Qualche bug/Glitch ☐ Ne trovi parecchi ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ Tutto il gioco e' un insieme di bug/glitch ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☑ 6 ☑ 7 ☐ 8 ☐ 9 ☐ 10

решил вспомнить детство. тогда игру не прошёл. Сейчас прям залип. прикольная игра. но с косяками. вылетала переодически и висла. решил проблему может кому поможет. игра запустилась на виртуалке с установленной виндой 7, графика и разрешение на минимум. в целом терпимо. последние 2 миссии вообще не зависали. прошёл все 10 сюжетных миссий. думал почему то игра подлиннее.. надо сохранения оставить а то мало ли :-)

Save files get corrupted frequently and the game crashes quite a bit. Makes it very hard to actually play. That being said, it's actually a decent game. Like many JoWood games of that era, there's a solid premise, with an interesting twist, but it's implemented in a functional, but sort of clunky and ultimately user-intensive sort of way. Much as you might expect from a game with "Pioneer" in the title, the game is about exploration. The first part of every map starts with getting a team of rugged adventurers together with a wagon to go west and find suitable rail routes. Unfortunately, your pioneers are Globawfully slow (until you have a busy rail network to manage, you'll need a second activity to keep you busy while they explore, like Insta) and they require constant attention to keep them exploring efficiently. They constantly have to return to a town to recruit new members when, a prospector, for instance, unlocks a resource node, you have to go all the way back to town to recruit another or you don't get anymore resource nopes. The pioneers are also really expensive early on and you have to choose between exploring quickly or trying to build an economy quickly. Which is probably realistic, actually. Rail management is pretty easy and upgrading towns and resource nodes, researching new engines, etc. make sense. I will say the interface for all this stuff takes some learning— none of it is intuitive. One annoyance is building engines and cars. Just a few cities on every map have the ability to build engines or cars and you can't queue more than one of anything at a time. So to build a long train, you have to do a lot of tedious clicking and waiting and checking back to see if it's done. It's also tedious if say, you have a resource on one side of the map and want to make a train to transport it, but your industrial center is on the other side, you have to sit there making an engine and then one car at a time, then assemble the train. Then send it across the map where it creates traffic the whole way. Then you can finally use it. There's just a lot of extra clicking and watching and waiting that could have been easily automated. A game interface/these sorts of mechanics would never fly in the modern world. It feels more like they didn't have time to develop the interface fully vs. simply not wanting to make it all user-friendly. And Jowood was a small studio, so that may have very well been the case. I ended up uninstalling and giving up the ghost, because after all the tedious things I had to forgive to enjoy playing it, I can't forgive corrupted save files and having to start over every map multiple times (something the game actually punishes you for by removing the engines you had used in the corrupted save file from your company fleet).
