Author Topic: Bridge construction games - op 2.0  (Read 3728 times)

There is a loving stuffton of games where you have to build bridges. Taking away the flash games reduces this to 1/5, and we're only gonna talk about 4 games. Pontifex, Pontifex 2 (Bridge Construction Set), Bridge It, Bridge Project. There are other games like Bridge! The construction game, and such, but we're gonna talk about these, by Chronic Logic.


Pontifex
The first game. It only has 3 materials, and uh.. not much else. 48 levels per total.
Find it at http://chroniclogic.com/pontifex.htm


Bridge Construction Set
Also known as Pontifex 2, the sequel to Pontifex added a bunch more materials such as iron, suspension cables and hydraulics. It has 100+ levels, and a bunch more features than the last one.
Find it at http://chroniclogic.com/pontifex2.htm


Bridge It
A version of the previous game with highly enhanced graphics. Originally, the game could only be played on an Nvidia card, but it is now available on ATI cards, since update 1.2. However, this game only has 30 levels, much shorter than the previous.
Find it at http://chroniclogic.com/bridgeit.htm


Bridge Project
The latest of the bunch, Bridge Project has graphics even surpassing Bridge It, and a few more levels, reaching 48 levels, like the original game.

There's also Bridge Building Game which is quite simple but quite good.
I haven't tried any of these 3D ones but I kept meaning too.

I did a bridge construction project in high school engineering where there was a contest for the lowest cost of bridge that could still drive a truck over it (it was all done in software).  I beat the standing record by almost $100,000

say what
$100,000 is enough to build a super heavy steel suspension bridge with hydraulics and complex looks
sure must'v been hard

anyway, anyone got any cool bridges to show off?

if not, have my semi-cool arch bridge

I loved that game but raged every level.

I'm going to play it again and post some bridges.

do elaborate

XConstruct and Cargo Bridge are both  fun. I haven't played any hard-core bridge building games yet.

They're more like mini-games, not really srs games like these.

I'll consider giving these to my non-existent autistic friend.
