Ratings and Reviews
A Simple Railroad Tycoon Game
While it is FAR from the best of the Railroad Tycoon or any tycoon game, this still falls in one of my favorite games as a kid. The colors are great and the game's UI is simple to understand. The trains are great too.
As for other things, yes, this game is incredible simple. The economic manipulation and stock aspects are barely existent. The AI is a joke, because they will build random and unrational track over your track.
Not a Tycoon game
This is billed as a re-imagining of the Tycoon genre. Sadly, they imagined the Tycoon part out of it.
The game has a cartoon style and feel. The primary challenge is putting switches in your tracks in the right place so that other trains don't get stuck behind each other. The economic part that so appealed to me in the real RR Tycoon games is simplified to the point of, well, being cartoon style. You take raw goods... and just grab from a single souce per train, don't try anything complex where a train will bring two or three different raw goods into town... to a town that wants them. Those can be shipped to any town that takes the processed goods. That's it. There are no demand limits. You don't have to worry about flooding markets, or trying to spread out your deliveries to multiple destinations. There are barely any supply limits, as the goods get replenished so quickly.
Building enough switches in the right spots is actually a challenge, because the cartoon style of graphics doesn't give you a lot of space between towns. You also can't zoom out very far on the map, so seeing what's in the area is a bit of a challenge.
There is also essentially no variety to the scenarios.
On the plus side, it is fun to watch the trains go in and out of the stations. But it's not a game with any depth.
works, plays and runs fine with no problems
I got this game on the pc and it doesn`t work right right without a cd exe fix and now I got it on the mac mini m1 16gig. And it works just fine with out any problems no lag no crashes. Plus you gotta have your setting just right too for it. For being a so called cartoonish type game its not really that cartoonish at all and its way better then R.R.T. 2&3. I love playing game if i`m bored of playing other games.
