For BronzeBeard (It´s a bit Off Topic):

The graphics are amazing, very good done, but in the first screenshot, why you put the safe with wheels? I mean, it´s a safe! I will only need a pair of ropes to go downstairs with it.

(Sorry for the OTC)

Wheeled safes were common in 1900. Around the year 1910 we switch to more traditional safes you're used to seeing.

lol I was just looking for the original Detroit here after playing a similar shareware game. Funny to see that there are so many people building games like this. Good old Detroit must have had some impact after all

For those interested, the one I found is at cars-inc-game.com and it also has a car shaping feature. But the demo is just 5 years so I'm gonna play some good old Detroit now ^^

Also one of our engine designer for those of you who missed it - [/quote]

Anybody here?


Production stops on mine in 1964, cant make more than 300 vehicles per factory when i made 4000 per month the year before

I'm wondering: Does the game have any music? Because I chose Soundblaster or Adlib and heard no sounds/music whatsoever. Is it just my own stupidity and I'm missing something or is the game without music data?

The game has music and sound (and quite nice). I ran on the same problem as you actually .

You need to go to the office building in game, select the cabinet, and there you can check music and sound (it comes muted by default)

I've noticed that I can't take loan from the bank, it says that loan must be repaid first even though I don't have any. Anyone have any solutions?

When you run out of money, game takes automatically loan two times.

Why can't I make any money in this game, no matter how much I spend on advertising, no matter how little set my car prices, it always ends up not selling, and I have no clue why.
