"As good as ever"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game has survived the test of ages. It has been updated for Vista and best of all it works with Windows 7 x64. There were some reported issues with a bug in the V1.05 patch, but mine works like a charm. This is an addictive game that will keep you occupied for a long time to come, particularly with its new lease on life. Graphics have also been updated to handle new hardware. Just set your resolution and every thing else to extra ultra, it looks better than ever.

"Sid's Long Train Runnin'"
5 stars"

The demi-god of games developers, Sid Meier, simply doesn't know how to make a lemon or how to fail! “Silent Service”, “Civilisation” series, Civil War series, “Alpha Centauri”, “Pirates!” and “Railroad Tycoon” series – each and every single one a bona fide platinum-standard classic. In keeping with most of his titles, this is a history-based building game. You try to develop a railway empire in the footsteps of J.P. Morgan and other 'robber barons'of the steam era (against whom you might actually be competing!) As such, you'll be resposible for setting up stations, track , locomotives, carriage types to suit different freight , passenger and mail transport, etc. Only Mr. Meier could possibly have converted someting as seemingly mundane as trainspotting into a gripping, competitive computer game!

"Good retro game that will last you a few weeks"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Graphics wise this game is no frills. The strategy behind it is simple enough and the idea of running trains and building an economy is quite fun. Though making money can be as simple as issuing a few bonds, connecting a few cities, and transporting goods between them. It's that easy. No real challenges though it does replicate the 19th century Europe and USA well. It's also fun to build economies in towns and then watch the towns grow.
