		Railroad Tycoon is an economic simulation and computer strategy game.
		Railroad Tycoon was written by game designer Sid Meier and published by MicroProse and though it shares the "Tycoon" suffix, it is entirely unrelated to other Microprose games such as RollerCoaster Tycoon and Transport Tycoon, which were developed by British programmer Chris Sawyer.
		The second sequel, Railroad Tycoon 3, was released in 2003 featuring a full 3D environment, allowing for overpasses and tunnels (tunnels were present in the original but lost in RT2), and much improved graphics over its predecessors.

		We couldn't tell you what's so hypnotic about a long line of Pullman sleeper cars snaking its way up a mountain pass, but we can tell you with authority why Railroad Tycoon 3 is one of the best strategy/empire-building games of the year.
		Cosmetically, the new 3D engine will be the most obvious difference, but it's the underlying economic simulation that is by far the biggest change to the franchise.
		Little trains will move along your railroads carrying cargo from one place to another, hopefully for a big profit if you planned it right.
