Aug 20, 2017  Railroad Tycoon. At the time of its release, Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon was the most advanced game of its type. Even today, with its rinky-dink EGA graphics and low resolution (320×240), the basic concepts of building and fiscally managing your railroad company is. Game description: Railroad Tycoon 3 features 25 scenarios challenging players to recreate magnificent feats of railroading history from around the world. Players can lay track (including tunnels and overpasses), pick from over 40 locomotives from early steams to modern bullets, choose to haul over 35 types of cargo in a dynamic economy, and participate in an advanced stock market.

Trains! [Aaarggh! - A Reader.] No, don't be scared. Your credibility with the local gangsta posse isn't about to take a bigger nosedive than a NASA Shuttle pilot. No one's actually asking you to pretend to be a train driver or to stand on a platform at High Wycombe and jot down train numbers. This is the high-flying (sorry, mixing my metaphors there) world of corporate management, a world where the pen is mightier than the sword and the accountant is king. Set in the world of chuffa-chuffs. Maybe you'd better keep your head down for a while after all.

Railroad Tycoon is the granddaddy of the interminable succession of Tycoon games that plague us like a biblical, er, plague. Except this particular series has always had a little more class than games such as Airport Tycoon, Ski Resort Tycoon and Local Late-Nite Kebab & Chippie Tycoon. 'It's a strategy game and it looks nice,' says Franz J Felsl, lead designer at PopTop Software, with mock incredulity, 'as opposed to most which go, 'It's a strategy game, here's your spreadsheet.'

Sell-By Date

The series began in the hands of strategy design guru Sid Meier, and along with its sequel has been one of the most successful strategy management series not dealing with football. This third the engine plate (ho ho,incarnation is a sequel in the true sense -bigger, better and in 3D. 'We're trying to fix a lot of the problems that people didn't like previously,' explains Felsl. 'Plus physically our worlds are about four times as detailed as RT2, which means there's about four times as much stu f to actually do.

The really impolant improvement is taking place under do you see?), in the area of dynamic real-world economics. Sexy, I know. 'This time round all the commodities travel around themselves,' enthqses Felsl. 'They don't do a very good job won't make much but all industries that exist produce something otherwise they won't have existed at all. Thatfe a complete departure of it though and they noney by themselves, from RT2. All cargo in the game wantsto go someplace and it will look for the place that will pay.

The dynamics between commodities have been upgraded along with the trains. Goods have far wider uses than before, making it easier fo newcomers to find profitable routes. The world evolves at a greater rate too, with the new 3D engine showing off the growth and fall of prosperous or profitless locations, almost eliminating the need to ever look at a spreadsheet ever again.

Steaming On

And then there are the trains. Ah, the trains. What can one say? Well, they're very train-like. All your favourites are there - from the Norris 4-2-0 to the 4-6-6-4 Challenger - from the steam era to the modern day, all behaving with real-world physics. Then there are the stock markets, corporate shenanigans, construction issues and multiplayer options to worry about. In fact, everything you Railroad Tycoon fans could ever have hoped the most. for. But this time with graphics.
