Industry Giant

Nice to know this game is on Steam and not just a digital release. The original release has been victim to the 32-bit death-plague with the amount of 64-bit machines out there, so it is nice to see the game cater to that. To help, the graphics are corrupt for high resolution and widescreen, however this is fixed by changing your desktop resolution to 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768. Thankfully the game is intact, but that's pretty much it. The game is hard and loads of trial and error and taking advantage of some of the features in the game, like using unsold stock at a store and transporting them elsewhere for example which can help you win a task more quicker. It is a late 90s game that can be frustrating and you would want to just get this over and done with. Thankfully, Industry Giant 2 has fixed many of the issues found in the first game, like requiring you to have loads of space for a pre-set layout for a train station for example, because in this game, you start with one platform but then you forget you need two or three more but have no space for them, so you're screwed and this can cost you a mission, so careful. I still recommend it especially considering the sequel is on another space but it a shame you have to put up with the design issues the game has.

I can't recommend this game to anyone because the graphics are not in HD like Industry Giant 2. This might be a very old game but It has a ton of problems that the devs should have been addressed before they released It. They also haven't released any details on the version at all.

Classic pc game, the expansion is included in this version.

No se ve bien en WIndows 11. Entiendo que en windows 10 tampoco. Podrian indicarme si hay algun parche al respecto? Es que he pagado un dinero por el juego, y resulta que no se ve

Now I remember the pain I would receive from this game. The pathfinding of your trains and trucks is just pure hell. I recall having games it was great and wonderful runs where I got rich! I could manipulate cities! But then after playing it again I remembered that 7 out of 10 times your trains or trucks would end up stuck in a loop or broken. With no pause button you would loose months trying to fix small issues where your deliveries would get stuck. The random seed maps would produce all diamond mines with no other way to add gold for the rings you needed. Random seed maps were half the time designed to fail you. It is a true and honest port of the original, and stable! I'm running Win 10 on a large 1080 monitor. It works fine, no bugs, no issues, no suprises. The only surprises are those I had back when I bought it in the late 90's. Crap pathfinding. To recommend or not... hummm. If you loved the original with all it's late 90's issues.. sure, go for it. But if you are looking to spend a few hours having a fun game.... eh... no your going to be stuck spending four or five playthroughs until you get lucky with the right map and the right luck. So.. for what it is, a port of an original.. sure... it gets a recommended. But as for my play time.... it's not going up very much more for a long while.

Игра детства. До сих пор помню все названия локомотивов, грузовиков, самолетов и кораблей. Рад, что игра переиздана спустя столько лет под современные системы и экраны. Да, на сегодня она жестко устарела. Управление ни к черту, прокрутка и масштабирование неудобные... Однако... Я поставил переиздание после того, как попробовал Transport Giant от тех же разрабов. И черт возьми, насколько же данный проект продуманней и завершенней, чем младший брат! Благо, спрайтовая 2D графика практически не стареет. Играть можно до сих пор. Вот еще бы колесико мыши использовать для прокрутки и масштаба - цены бы не было!

I found this game to be simply addictive. Trying to build a business from scratch while others are stealing your resources at the same time. Used to play this as a kid back in the early 00's and reminiscing the old times.

I am probably mister negative here but this game is something you shouldn't bother. Even revisiting with some childhood memories isn't fun. I mean the graphics are somewhat nice, but it just is too boring and cumbersome otherwise. The whole interface feels clunky, setting up production chains takes way to much time, not that you set up much since half of your chain is already done for you. The music is so mediocre, I like some tracks but it isn't something I would come back to. And if you wonder, yes I have two recommendations, either play Transport Tycoon or Industry Giant 2, no joke the whole transport side was done way better in transport tycoon and this just feels like a really bad copycat of that. And the sequel to this game is just so much better, there is only one minus, you cannot terraform in the sequel, kinda sucks. But honestly the sequal is so much better, like boats make sense, you can ship allot of stuff in a boat. Ever seen a time where planes can carry more than boats? Well Industry Giant in a nutshell, the sequel doesn't do anything that ridiculous. The music man, so nostalgic with the second one and also super chill music you can hear outside of the game. Also the ingame wiki has allot of anecdote about the invention of allot of stuff, I learnt how doughnuts came into place via this game. Anyway does anyone else feel super nostalgic when they see JoWood?
