We've all stopped commenting in lieu of wanton railroad destruction. Why do you do this to us, Dave? Ohhhh.......

For some reason, I see Nell, bound and gagged, tied to the tracks by Snidely Whiplash, Dudley Do-right galloping to save her.

Ya know, if you think about it, Nell was a bit of a whiner... perhaps Dudley shouldn't have been in such a hurry....

I was playing (at work) in a stealthy fashion but became so engrossed with becoming a railroad tycoon that when I screamed upon losing at level three, I alerted the management types. I quickly covered up for this faux pau(?) by putting up my Barry Mannilow screen saver and screaming again, that my compute had a horrible virus!

Clever, DBOE. Good thing I'm not at work, 'cause you just made me laugh really loud.

No, it is a good thing that games have an ending. If anyone remembers the Atari Game "Pitfall"...well, it was a good example of a game that wastes many hours before you finally realize that there is no end to be had.
