I have just Got

Post by whobhoy »

Was wondering if this is worth having , I have just picked up a copy of MS Train Simulator Strategy Guide in near Mint Con for Less than £4 is it any good ? ,

I bought it more out of curiosity than anything , I have bought Strategy Guides before for games such as GTA Vice City GTA III & GTA San Andreas , True Crime etc etc , but does a train Sim need a Strategy Guide ?

But for less than four Quid inc P&P its got to worth it :o , Hasn't It!!!!!!! ??????

The most important thing is, do YOU think it was a bargain? If so, then it was.

When MSTS first came out, it was considered by route and activity builders to be worth having. But I think after all these years, the information within its covers has been written about, added to and improved upon in the forums.

But for a one-stop manual that can read in the comfort of your settee, it's got to be a good thing for £4.

There certainly are - Cornish Riviera 2 for Paddington to Penzance is one of the very best, IMHO.
