    That's because it's Zadok The Priest, a very famous piece of classical music by Handel :D

    Very good news for all of us old school games :D

    I hope for perfect controls optimized for touch devices and no freemium/ overuse of in-app purchases...

    You should definitely release next video with the actual gameplay. Asap please :D :D :D

    Just a financial tip: buy the RCT franchise when it's auctioned by Atari, and then cointinue the RCT port. Make it a perfect port of RCT2 to get extra monies

    And remember, no freemium so you aren't hated by the entire gaming fandom ;)

    Well... I hesitantly say I'm excited.

    My favorite game of all time for DOS... seemed to not fare so well with the Windows/Mac OpenTTD ports, unless you had one hell of a rig... So, I hope the simulation part of it can still be nice and fast on iOS.

    I also remember having a lot of windows, and little buttons to press, and I don't think that is an easy transition for touch controls, but I wish you guys luck... I have no idea how this would work on an iPhone, but maybe it is in everyone's interest that this is developed for the iPad in mind?

    Oooh, that video is of OTTD, not the official game ;) But yeah, what great times!

    The team's endeavored to take advantage of the touch, but without sacrificing the depth that fans love... so hopefully we'll have struck the perfect balance. OTTD wasn't official, so with the original team and creator on board you can rest assured of the high quality we're aiming for!

    We'll announce pricing and whatnot soon... I think the fans will be happy though!

    You might have something to look forward to... sooner than you think :D

    Please yes!!! It must be premium.

    Day 1 purchase for me!!

    Please no freemium. A freemium transport tycoon would be unthinkable :mad:

    Btw: after the game is done, PLEASE do Railroad Tycoon 1 next.. 2/3 sucked, 1 was EPIC!! I'd pay £40 for an ipad version.

    We're sure fans will be happy with the pricing strategy when we announce it, and as for more in the Tycoon series... who knows! If this sells as well as it should, the sky's the limit! :D
     
  19. Could you pick RCT on the way past?

    Also, that pricing strategy sounds like it shall be good
