TL:DR 10/10

There are quite a few things I have to say about this game.

Firstly, This game DOES work on Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and 11, It just doesn't work out of the box, but there is a somewhat active modding community and even an extremely easy way to fix the game to work without mods as well. you're best resource is here: http://hawkdawg.com/

Beyond that, the game is quite fun, while the graphics do show their age, there still is a ton of play-ability left in this game if you can get past the visuals.
Plus this game has mechanics you don't often see in games like it (I.e. OpenTTD, Transport Fever, Rail Empire) such mechanic is input free cargo movement meaning that cargo is moved from producer to factory to consumer without the need of you or other companies, while being slower than rail, it means you don't have to worry about something being right next to the station, as it will still get collected and transported in time, like real life

Now for those interested in modding the game, it does come with a lot of options and opportunities, there is both a community patch (I.e 1.06) and a more extreme game mod called "TrainMaster" which you can find information about at the link I provided above, which both help expand game play and make the game less buggy. 1.06 is also used as a base for many mods, as it is better than the last official update
