The Wheels On The Bus: OMSI 2 Released

Fares please

OMSI 2 has just been released and the Steam page contains my favourite feature description of all time:

Relive the change taking place in Spandau between 1986 and 1994! OMSI 2 now replicates the exciting years following the German reunification and all the innovations and route expansions (line 137 to Falkensee) that came along with it.

The exciement and dramatic changes of German reunification recreated via transport developments, timetable changes and route expansions. I've been waiting for this transport simulation period piece to come out ever since I first read Tim Stone's words about the first in the series. His diary is still one of my favourite pieces of writing on the internet.

It seems like only yesterday that Euro Truck Simulator 2 surprised the world by parking itself in our Advent Calendar, and while I was reading the comments I found a link to a wonderful thread on our forums about the appeal of 'sublime driving games'.

We might be talking about OMSI 2 for some time and it'll begin tomorrow. Look out for The Flare Path and Tim Stone's return to the streets.
