Railroad Tycoon is an economic simulation and computer strategy game. There are three versions; the original Railroad Tycoon (1990), Railroad Tycoon II (1998), and Railroad Tycoon 3 (2003). Railroad Tycoon was originally written by game designer Sid Meier and published by MicroProse and though it shares the "Tycoon" suffix, it is entirely unrelated to other games such as RollerCoaster Tycoon and Transport Tycoon, which were developed by British programmer Chris Sawyer.

Objective


The objective of the game is to build and manage a railroad company, including laying track, building stations, and buying and scheduling trains. The game models supply and demand of goods and passengers as well as a miniature stock market on which players can buy and sell stock of their own or competing companies.

Railroad Tycoon


The original version allowed the player to start companies in several settings: the U.S. West and Midwest or the Northeast, England, and (on a smaller scale including southern England) Europe.
