I Didn’t Realize I Was Playing the Broken Version of Shortline Railroad! | RetroRobby Reviews

What’s up retro fans? In this episode of RetroRobby Reviews, were going back to the classic MS-DOS train game Shortline Railroad. But here’s the twist—I had no idea I was playing a buggy version the entire time.
It turns out, the version I played automatically deploys trains, leading to unavoidable crashes and chaos. A viewer comment (shout-out to @ee_kedo ) tipped me off that Version 2.0 actually fixes this and brings the game back to how it was meant to be played.
📌 In this video:
– Gameplay from the version with the auto-deploy bug
– What the game looks like when it works right
– Version 2.0 can only be played online
– And my honest thoughts on how it still holds up, even with the bug!
