As time goes by the company will grow bigger, building stations , buying trains and joining territories by means of the train. If we aren't fully ready to start this company, Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon will help us by means of messages with interesting tips. Another way that you can make money is by dabbling in the stock market.
I know that some people love this kind of thing, but for me, it was the weakest part of the game and something that I felt was far too easily abused. You have rivals and they would tend to make most of their money from the stock market, but their tracks would be trash! You need to spend money to make money. From fuel to train and track maintenance, someone always wants your money.
Some of the scripted events are fun and range from train robberies to a rival starting to get a bit too big for their britches. The gameplay overall has a rather relaxing feel to it and it is the kind of game you can waste many hours with. I am not exactly what you would call a trainspotter or a train enthusiast.
The game may seem like it is not for everyone, but you do not have to have an interest in trains to get any fun out of this. I would say that if you like games such as Sim City and Theme Park , you are in for a good time with this. Us old duffers remember the original Railroad Tycoon -a wacky slant on that most perfect of gaming matter: trains.
Who would have thought that controlling a transport network would be deemed a gaming classic?

Railroad Tycoon II boasts about its 3D Studio-rendered buildings and its spanking high resolution, starting at a minimum x Indeed, it does look like a bizarre hybrid of SimCity and a Talonsoft game, which can be quite strange.
Some of the info boxes take up too much space and the animation can act up, with the trains jerking around akin to Ronaldo on a stressful evening. Hopefully, this will be fine-tuned for release. But this time with graphics. Fans of the 'tycoon' style of games can point back to Railroad Tycoon as the original, and perhaps most hallowed, game of its genre. Now, after a solid performance by a sequel, software developer Gathering looks to extend the life of this great franchise with Railroad Tycoon 3.
But will this title live up to expectations, or will it be as disappointing to this author as was Sim City ? First let's look at the nuts and bolts: RT3's graphics are absolutely fantastic. Whether scrolled out in world view or in nice and tight near the moving trains, detail is crisp and well executed. Especially well liked is the nature of the zooming view, where terrain details come into view as you scroll.
Audio effects are also excellent, as is in game music and cut scene sounds. The complexity comes into effect in the gameplay. While controls are rather easy to manage and are set into a mouse driven interface, the true complexity of the game becomes more apparent as you play.
Building tracks, trains, and the infrastructure to maintain them are only a small aspect of this title. Learning logistics, issuing stocks and bonds, and even dabbling in other industries connected with the railroads are all important aspects of this game, and are very well realized in the available scenarios.
