Still Holds Up
I found Railroad Tycoon in a discount bin in '94 and it was a pixelated mess, but it was so much fun that I played it for years. When this game came out in '98 I picked it up soon after it was out and I keep coming back to it even after 27 years; it just holds up. The graphics hold up so well and don't feel horribly dated like RT3. Less really is more. Even after all these years I've barely even scratched the surface of the scenarios as I always just end up playing a sandbox mode in North America. There are literally endless variables for some of the larger maps, so many that it would take you 27 years to even want to start playing one of the other maps, or to run through the campaign mode. Like I've said, there's just so much that you can do, or so many different ways to play that it's well worth the purchase. The only complaint is that if you buy out your competition via a merger it would be great to have bulk update option as it is very tedious going through each station and train making updates. It's time consuming enough rebuilding track routes of larger mergers, but having to go through each station and making sure they have water/sanding towers can really zap some fun out of the game. I've found it's easier to just retire all their trains and bulldoze their routes versus sorting it out, but again there are a lot of ways to play this game. As a whole, this is still a highly recommended train simulation, if not the best train simulation out there to this day.
