  Railroad Tycoon 2 is in my opinion the best railroad company simulator there ever was. It is reasonable in difficulty, graphics did not age too terribly and while it is simplified a bit, the corelations between products and different buildings spawning on the map through time give it endless replayability. It is on par with Transport Tycoon, so If you liked that one, you will also love this game. It is obviously very old, so approach with caution, If you never actually heard of it before.

  This old game is.. just perfecly made... just wish had sources to make it updated to todays computers (Multiprocessing, dirextx). While my wish is not coming true, I just enjoy playing this game.

  The One, Legendary, time-resistant (release in '98) pearl of Rail / Train / Corporation Tycoon of them all. Very demanding; not so easy to learn, very hard to master. Game from the past which makes nowadays rail / train tycoons seems like games for kids. One of my most favourite game of all times.

  Ahh, Railroad Tycoon II. Another game resurrected from the mists of time and childhood memories of playing this game as a starry-eyed child with my train-obsessed father. Once the shine of nostalgia had worn away a little, however, I found myself able to give a more..objective review of the game. The positives? Well, the music is great, the attention to detail (particularly with the trains and historical aspects) is pretty impressive, and the gameplay, at its core, is quite addictive. As you play, you find yourself eager to expand your railway, to explore the map and find out what locomotive will be unlocked next. There's also an impressive array of scenarios/maps to play, and an amusing level editor. However, one drawback I found is that the game can be rather confusing. There are no proper tutorials, none that I could find anyway (occasional hint boxes hardly count), and it's scarily easy to run out of money, which in turn annoys your investors and nets you a game over. The interface can be rather confusing, and at the risk of sounding stupid, I don't really understand the financial side of the game (bonds and stock, etc) and how that all works. All that being said though, if you can wrap your head around the confusing mechanics, this is still a timeless classic of a game, and very enjoyable. Not the best, but definitely recommended as a cheap time-waster.

  I love this game, it can easily eat up a day on the weekend. The graphics while not amazing are just fine for an old game. The random spawning map can make the same scenario extremely hard or very easy, depending on your luck. It has great replay value. If you enjoy a transport/finance type game then this one is a must have for 5 bucks.

  $5? You wont go wrong buying this! I've been playing since it was originally released way back in 1998, I believe this is the greatest strategy/train game (board or PC) ever. The graphics aren't REAL bad, I sure wish they would redo it with improved 1920 x 1080 high resolution graphics, those old trains would really look great! As it is though, they still look OK IMO. But if you can get past the graphics, you will not be disappointed. Nice atmosphere too. It has improved AI since incorporated to STEAM. Harder! 7.5/10 as it sits. Windows 8 with Intel i5 and gforce GPU. Works great! Update, upgraded to Win 10, and runs well

  This game is kickass! It engages your brain - memory and planning are paramount - while also having an excellent American folk soundtrack of guitars and harmonicas. Daft numbers of scenarios & campaigns, all with inherent replayability, can be boosted to astronomical proportions (https://codeload.github.com/oseparovic/RRT2Maps/zip/master << that's a metric f*ck-tonne of extra maps & scenarios). I have a thing for older games - they tended to be more demanding and more mentally stimulating than modern games - and this fully lives up to those ideals. The game consists of competing with AI or human-controlled opponents (or not, if that's what you want) to connect trade resources on a map, against the backdrop of a potentially lethal economy and advancing technology. The right scenarios (in the zip I linked to above) will let you go for >150 years - some are even without a time limit - but you typically are presented goals - specific things to achieve by a specific time, in order to get a bronze, silver or gold medal (these goals are usually along the lines of "Connect point x to point y, move twelvety tonnes of cargo K between those two points and amass $------ personal fortune by date z"). I give you fair warning, the graphics aren't going to blow you away, not by a long shot, but the complexity, detail and the intense addictiveness of the game should tickle you if you're prone to being tickled by a game of this type.

  This is one of my top ten favorite games. Every couple of months I go back to it for a week. Owned the disks but lost them awhile ago so I was very pleased to see steam have this game. If you like the Tycoon games this is a must own. I love turning the industrial mode to expert and buying buildings on a competetors track. The music is unique, reminds me of hobos eating out of a can of beans around a makeshift campfire.
