Gaming News - October 2002
Montreal, Quebec (October 3, 2002) - Strategy First announced today
that they will be releasing the Ultimate Trainz Collection (UTC) in the North
American market in time for Christmas, hitting store shelves on November 19th.
"Trainz impressed rail fans around the world with its combination of stunning
graphics and easy layout construction," said Don McFatridge, President of
Strategy First Inc. "We are delighted to have the opportunity to present this
excellent upgrade in time for Christmas."
"The Ultimate Trainz Collection offers gamers and train fans more than just
driving a train," said Tony Hilliam, Vice-President of Auran. "Working closely
with our legion of loyal fans, we have improved our easy-to-use route editor and
continued to add more content, more gameplay and more features. UTC also
integrates closely with our Trainz Download Station making the collection and
installation of new custom content a breeze. We're excited by what our
online community are already producing and are looking forward to the future as
they invent new and imaginative ways of using this technology."
From Strategy First:
UTC brings a whole new dimension to gameplay with the introduction of
challenging and compelling scenarios. From short passenger runs, to humpyard
activities, to complex freight maneuvers, scenarios offer something for
everyone. Performance is measured against scores or time limits, and play can
vary between running a single engine, changing between multiple locos or
operating as a switchman.
Users can even create their own scenarios using the powerful scripting
language provided and provide them for download for other Trainz fans. Of course
the selection of trains has been greatly expanded as well. There are dozens of
new loco's, freight wagons and passenger cars plus a special bonus inclusion in
UTC is Paint Shed; an easy-to-use paint program that allows users to create
their own railroad liveries. In total, over 100 different cars, wagons and
loco's are included, and thousands more objects can be downloaded free.
