i don't know about you guys, but i didn't play many games during my childhood... but one game i did play - a helluva lot - was transport tycoon.
i just discovered an opensource version of it, developed by the guy who made utorrent, that has an astounding number of useful and very cool new features and is available on the web for free (of course).
the transport tycoon deluxe files are also necessary, however, but if you've lost them and are interested in getting this thing up and running, drop me a line and i'll email them to you.

it is! absolutely.
but at least it's more mentally stimulating than mario brothers or halo 2.

perhaps intellectually stimulating would've been more appropriate, but it'd have sounded more stilted.
i'd know, because it's an economics simulation game. it takes more strategic thought than pointing and clicking on monsters, or avoiding bad guys while you jump onto platforms.
