I am also questioning when this thread was actually started because trainz was not released in 1970 in fact the internet did not exist until the mid 1980s but all you had was slow 56K dial up
Ye ol' Unix epoch time strikes again (1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)!Because back when the forum crash happened. It screwed the sites internal coding up and no one has bothered to fix it mostly because its not a big deal.
Heh - yep; look at our start dates, eh?The crash was Nov 2006
The date issue actually occurred some time after that, but the forum software sorts posts by date so those posts made during the glitch went to the top of the first page.
I heard a rumour that Trainz was originally invented in 1942 by the guys at Bletchley Park to keep themselves amused during long uneventful night-time shifts. The game ran on a Colossus computer, and the results were printed out on punch cards. Multiplayer sessions were transmitted in Morse Code. Needless to say performance was not great.

Actually, the bootstrap loader was on paper tape, and then the simulation software was stored on punched cards. A few extra cards at the end of the deck provided the session information, allowing the user some flexibility and control. The results were printed on the teletype printer, such as the one shown here (notice the paper tape reader on the left-hand side):I heard a rumour that Trainz was originally invented in 1942 by the guys at Bletchley Park to keep themselves amused during long uneventful night-time shifts.
