TRS2004 Intro Video

[wreeder]

Who remembers this video from the install sequence of TRS2004?

I remember... I was a big fan of Dark Reign at the time...

My late cat Lily would come running when she heard the intro music playing to watch the aliens. Every time I see this, I think of her.

All these years later I finally know what this seemingly random animation was about.

Same here.

Well that wasn't there in TRS2006......

Well Dark Reign was 1997, and its sequel came out in 2000, so it was getting to be old already in 2004 - even if I had never head of it before this thread.

I got Trainz 2004 when it came out and I don't remember that.

It played during the install and then again during the start of the game but you could disable it as I did. It gave you something to watch during the very long load time of TRS2004.

I think that was done in the trainzoptions.txt file by adding the line: = Introdisable or something like that. I never did because my cat used to watch the intro.
