      I was thinking of that at first, but then I remembered Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’s literal trams…

        Yeah, but half the time it was just news and the conversations were 10 seconds in a few minute ride…

        And having actual elevator music was a ‘funny once’ kind of gag… :p

    Don’t worry, that’s just to disguise the loading

    Now if the trams developed into mouths or cages themselves…

    To get onboard, you have to do a side quest to get the door key from a talking rabbit. Then it turns out you’ll need to get another key to change direction, which you can find hidden behind a waterfall only after you answer a riddle set by some flowers. Next, of course, there’s the mechanical mini-game where you adjust the dials on twelve gas cylinders just right to get it actually moving…

      And before you can do all that you have to catch the babelfish to understand the instructions.

        It should be noted that the instructions were translated incorrectly and won’t work if you actually follow them.

        Nevertheless, you STILL have to get the babelfish just to be able to do the puzzle even if you look up how to solve it.

        Oh god, it’s been I don’t know how many years, and as soon as you said that, I thought “Put the towel over the drain, place the satchel next to the panel, put the junk mail on the satchel…”

    At least they’re not like the rail system from Starbound. I’ve died more times trying to jump on those than from anything else in that game.

    Panels 2 & 3: proof that time does not exist in elevators.

      Also a technique occasionally used by lazy cartoonists. Or a double penultimate silent panel.

    LOL! In most video game transit systems are get-on here get-off there with no in-between, which would rob them of the experience of riding over the park. I think they just got teleported from one tram station to the other tram station.

    Why does Nick look like he has glasses on his nose in the first panel? *confused*

      See last cartoon- he’s… interacting… with the T. Rex.

        Over two hours since Robert Nowall’s comment, and we post at the same time…

        What’s he going to do? Challenge him to a drinking contest?

      Delaying the T. Rex.

    So the exhilarating tram rides from the Myst saga aren’t habitual?

    On the bright side, there’s no Muzak in the background.

    I have not yet found the equivalent of Lovelace’s head gear. Does anyone know where it’s from?

    Reminds me of FF9 and all the public transportation. Even the BUGS are public transportation.

    I never understood the appeal of a skyride beyond the utilitarian. If you want to see all of Cedar Point, the top of the Magnum and the down side of the Power Tower both provide better views for a short time.

    Aaah, so not a fast travel system that skips past the tedious riding part
