Product Information
Railroad Tycoon allows budding tycoons to build and run their own railroad company. Play against three computer opponents in either the northeastern United States in 1830, the western United States in 1866, 1828 England, or in 1900 Europe. A choice of four levels of difficulty and three reality levels allow users to make the game as challenging as they wish.<br><br>Starting with $1,000,000, players build stations, railroad tracks, and trains. Each train is assigned a route and cargo before generating income. As time passes, new train engines with better power and speed are invented. Players can also initiate a rate war at a computer-controlled train station that may cause them to take over the station. Purchasing stock is another way to overtake computer opponents as owning more than half of a computer opponent's stock allows a railroad to be taken over. Be careful though, because the computer can do the same to the player.Product Identifiers
