the version here is equipped with a windows patch. Should help you run it in windows XP.

since i liked this game, i was pleasantly surprised to find a similar game in the shops, kind of old, but that meant my already overtaxed pc would handle it easily, the name was not -- tycoon, but giant

from a review:
Quote:
As with all games, the first thing you look for is a tutorial. No such luck. A manual or readme file then. No luck there either, not on the CD that the game came on, nor the official website. Then you get to thinking, “Hey, maybe this is a game that, in its elegant simplicity, does not require a tutorial or a manual”. So you have a go. Several hours later, after you’ve exhausted techniques such as mashing the keyboard (the Windows key gets you out onto your desktop) and thrashing (where you click on everything you can see) you begin to realise that you’ll have to turn elsewhere for help. “To the Batcave! Oops, I mean internet!”[/b]
the questions on the forum ranged from hard to "how do i build a station"

its a very nice game, with much more economy than tycoon, but the lack of anything like a list of key functions makes it hard. it took me 1 hour to find out spacebar rotates objects

I guess you mean Industry Giant. Yes know that one, though I didn't like it like I did Transport Tycoon.

If you can't get it to work in XP, try using Locomotion. It has the same interface and same basic idea. It's also made by the same programmer. The only downside is that it costs money. Or, if you want to try an even more funnerer game, try Rollercoaster Tycoon. I hope I don't sound to negative or sarcastic.

Hey,
it´s right, with the latest DOSBox it´s perfect...... nearly......the music should be included...
is there any way to download it from the "Music"-link on the TT-Download-Side? Would be great!!
Yours,
Majestic

Ok the game is running with DOS Box under XP but I can't hear the sound. Please tell me what to do as that music is half the nostalgia to me, thanx.

Run the game's setup and configure it accordingly to the values you've set DOSBox to use.
If you didn't change anything, that will be Sound blaster 16, IRQ 7, DMA 1, Adress 220.
