Montreal, Quebec (November 26, 2002) - Publisher Strategy First and
Developer Auran are pleased to announce that the Ultimate Trainz Collection has
shipped to retail stores nationwide.
“Ultimate Trainz Collection has so much great content, it will keep train
buffs happy for a long time to come,” says Steve Milburn, Director of Marketing
for Strategy First.
"It's great to see the latest version of Trainz hitting the shelves", said
Greg Lane, CEO of Auran. "We've worked for more than a year adding features,
incorporating user feedback and polishing the user interface and we're extremely
happy with the results. We already have a huge user base aged from 3 to 83 and
they each get something different from their Trainz experience. The Ultimate
Trainz Collection adds to that experience with new scenarios, new content and
improved physics and performance."
From Strategy First:
UTC includes 2 CDs full of dynamic railroad gameplay that lets you not only
create your own landscape, but collect and customize your locos and control as
many trains as you and your PC can handle.
UTC combines all the excitement of Collecting, Creating and Controlling your
own railroad with the newest version of Trainz, and adds in compelling and
challenging scenarios such as short passenger runs, humpyard activities, and
complex freight maneuvers.
Users can even create their own scenarios using the powerful scripting
language provided, and share them with other Trainz fans online. There are
dozens of new locos, freight wagons and passenger cars, plus a special bonus -
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 locos are
included, and thousands more objects can be downloaded free.
