Can't be bothered to track down its actual thread, but Paradox are offering Cities in Motion for free to anyone who fills in
this here survey
, which apparently takes about 20 minutes. You don't get your codes until 'a few weeks after the survey closes' which is the end of March, but FREE GAME SO DON'T BE PICKY.
Also the game is quite good and quite hard.

Cities in Motion is a bit curious for me.
The game itself is quite fun to play if you're of a Transport Tycoon/Railroad Tycoon loving nature but it feels broken and out of place in certain areas - not to mention the over expectation of the heads of city transport/whatever who give you tasks to do to complete each campaign scenario. It took me years to wipe off the depts of installing a Subway in the first mission... ¬_¬
I would suggest getting the:
- Realistic vehicle spec mod (Increases Vehicle sizes to more appropriate ones)
- Ultimate Camera mod (Walk around the city, etc)
- Line Manager (Gives me a nice report at the end of the month to show which lines are making what money so it's easier to ID a line which needs more/less vehicles)
Hope this helps.

Oh yeah, Lefty is totally right with those mods. Also, if you're struggling with the 'campaign' try starting a sandbox in a later era, since you get more modern (read: less terrible) vehicles, albeit with a larger population to accommodate.
Missions are interesting in that they
aren't
a guide on how to play the game. In fact, often their ideas are rubbish and will probably never make a profit. Generally once I've got the bonus I'll spend it on making the lines I've just built actually viable.

Indeed.
Although as a general rule of thumb I always found a good number of stops along a line will eventually lead to good profits per vehicle. Just a couple of things I'd like to suggest to those willing to play this game:
- Try to avoid making a central hub for one mode of transportation in your network. If a passenger gets off a station which shares two lines and moves from one service to another you still only get money for the one ticket because they're a "transit passenger" and only have to buy one ticket. If you put two stations next in close proximity of each other then the passengers have to pay two tickets and generally the extra cost of a second station (particularly if you're using buses) is quite negligible.
Don't get me wrong, having say a bus shelter next to a subway station just increases revenue for both lines because two separate tickets will be involved regardless.
-- On a second note, having a station sharing 3+ lines just creates ridiculous congestion, if anybody's been at Oxford Road in Manchester they'll understand where I'm coming from with this, and that kinda defeats the point of public transportation.
- Short Range: Buses, Medium Range: Trams, Cross-City: Subway, Luxary: Helicopter, Full-on Retard: Boat. - Seriously, boats make f-all money by comparison and are much slower. It pains me to do the Amsterdam scenario having to have my other lines over overtime to make up for the loss the boat lines (which you have to use to complete the scenario) drives me insane... ._.
Also, you can find all the Cities in Motion mods + community maps here:
http://www.cimexchange.com/index.php?/files/
To save you looking I've linked the mods I recommended earlier today.

$5.99 for a game released in 1997? =| dont get me wrong, it was a balla game back in the day but that shit's dated something hefty. For nostalgia purpose sure, but I dunno, even though it's not really
that
much, still pretty expensive imo

it has nothing to do with abandonware which only means probably nobody is about to try to sue you. Theres a theme hospital emulator being written
http://code.google.com/p/corsix-th/
. Emulation has safe harbour under the dmca as long as you use clean room coding. (The person writing the code has never seen the original source code, they either read a specification, guessed, or had a partner inspect the code and write the specification). You still need to purchase a copy of theme hospital to be legally entitled to use the art and sound assets. Or you could reskin it and create your own sounds but then you'd just be running some weird clone of the game.
Once the project matures enough for modding it will be the preferred way to play but you still technically have to buy a copy of theme hospital from somewhere.

Once the project matures enough for modding it will be the preferred way to play but you still technically have to buy a copy of theme hospital from somewhere.
which worked/works very well with OpenTTD - so I guess they might go down that route - but I'd imagine that took a huge amount of effort and I have to wonder if people are going to put in the hours to make it happen.
awesome game though - another one I wasted a considerable portion of my childhood on!
