Sounds exciting, too bad I didn't play anything since RRT: Deluxe...

Where can I reserve a copy??? It sounds great!

I'm guessing Sid is returning back tot he scene (first Pirates, now Railroad). Can't wait for a new version of Covert Action (great game)!

Doesn't really say much of anything, does it? We don't even know if Sid is going to be involved in it, since his name's on many games these days where his involvement was limited to the original release (cough Civilization cough).

OOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!
I got this in my last issue of PC Gamer!

"Hisssss..."

*Runs back into hole in ground*

It sounds interesting, but quite honestly I don't think it's going to be better than Rails Across America (The best railroad game evar!).

Well, what did you think of Railroad Tycoon II, or III? Personally, I like RT2, best.

Tycoon II = The second-best railroad game ever conceived.

I just thought III was too much of the same, but with 3D!
That's good right! It's RTII, but it's... 3D!

It's still fun, but... it's just 3D, some good things thrown in to make it a bit better of an experience, but still just the same ol' thang.

I haven't tried 3, the reason is 2. I hated that game how it looked and some of the gameplay decisions (not going to get into that now)
I prefered the first one, but anytime I want(ed) to play such a game with trains I would load Transport Tycoon Deluxe and have my fix. (not Locomotion since it is a broken game IMO).

I hope the new Railroad Tycoon will be good and not made for 2 year olds in mind.
