Microsoft Train Simulator

Every once in a while, a game or program comes along that I like to feature when it is new. I guess it is the old WorldVillage reviewer in me coming out again, I’m not sure. But today’s FamSite visits a site that tells about a new game from an old company, one that I am sure you have heard of before.

The site is the official homepage for the new simulator program from Microsoft called Train Simulator. It has long been a favorite toy of kids to build trains and run them in the house. In fact when I was young, it was almost a rite of passage. This program gives a user the ability to take control of several types of trains, over several actual train routes world wide, including the Orient Express. This program does for trains what Flight Simulator does for aircraft. It is very realistic, the graphics are awesome, and the simulation is incredibly life like. It is so real that you will feel the wind in your hair as you look out the window.

This new program has great potential to grow. Enjoy your visit here today, and if you are looking for a great way to spend some off line gaming time, this program is a winner.
