There’s a thread in IMHO called Olde Schoole Computer Games. In it, people are reminiscing about old computer games they used to play obsessively.
I used to play a game called “Detroit”, about running a car manufacturing business from the early 1900s until the (then-kinda-distant) year 2000. After posting about this game, I decided to see if it was available anywhere. I don’t have it anymore and would someday like to get it or a similar new game. (I really, really like cars).
After spending a frustrated four-to-five on-line hours looking for this game, I have given up in despair. Can anyone tell me how to search for this game? Apparently the city of Detroit has a near-lock on all online references to its name, and I don’t remember who made it.
I’m posting this in MPSIMS simply because it isn’t a general question, it ain’t no opinion, and it hasn’t become a flame (yet). I figure the folks here have several thousand years’ of collective life experience. At least one of you might actually be able to point me in the right direction.
I have spent much of the previous 24 hours relearning how to run this game successfully. I think I even developed a better way of saving money during slow economic times besides firing everybody and selling equipment (it takes too long to expand production to meet demand when the economy improves again).
