    Railroad Tycoon 3

    Ya Man!

    It looks like PopTop is at it again! I foun the info here furthermore I found some in french. It looks like the game will be release in the latter part of the year. This is the greatest news (in the games industry) which I've heard since Civ 3 was announced. Does anybody else have any information on the game?

    So long...

    Interesting. I've liked and disliked different Poptop products so I hope this turns out to be a good one.

      Ditto. Although RRT 2 is an awesome game and I know that there are a lot of people ou there that are eagerly waiting to get their hands on the 3rd part. I also liked Tropico, which was very funny and a good game overall.

        rt2 is ok but i thought it had way too much micro. maybe i just didn't know what i was doing though. it was a flawed game imo - the only time i had fun playing it is in the very beginning when things were much more managable and not mind boggling. most of the scenarios were pretty fun too. small size games of it were very fun too. if they could do away with a lot of the micro and make it so it's not so limited(it needs more gameplay) it'd be great.

          RRT2 dropped the ball completely as far as being a railroad game goes. It was a stock market manipulation game and a poor one at that - the path to victory was always, always the same. The railroad part was boring - just run mail and passagers between the two most distant stations for maximum $$$.

          RRT was an all-time classic. I'd be happy to see RRT3 return to that format with the graphics from the second installment.

              I agree.

              And I haven't found a PopTop game that I like, including Tropico.

                Well Ras, I'd like to know what you wrote in your never published, still hidden, old news Column!

                  Well, the news has been for over a few years now that Railroad Tycoon III will be published. However it has been delayed previously and now even further. The comment from PopTop Software earlier last year was that either Tropico 2 or Railroad Tycoon III would be their next project, so as they decided to go for Tropico 2, Railroad Tycoon 3 will be published sometime in 2003-2005 when they get Tropico 2 finished and out. It depends on that.

                  Moomin,

                  wrong. Many of the scenarios in the campaign are more challenging than that. Transport Teddy around for his election campaign, make large profits in the States with cattle and sheep and several other interesting scenarios. And even more in TSC.

                  /me is a RT, RTDX, RT2 and TSC player.

                    Man, I remember RT. My cousins put a bunch of games on 3.5" disks and that was about the only game we could get to work. The copyprotection was a bit of a problem because you had to guess what the train was but since they let you play with only two trains even if you got it wrong, we eventually got to the point where we had them all memorized.

                    BTW, this was when I was like 8 years old, had no knowledge of software piracy, and no money to buy games, let alone a store that sold them (we didn't get an EB in the area until I was in High School).

                    That got me thinking of the times when my bro and I would sit at the computer and play a single player game together... ahhh, good times.

                      Ah, I always suspected that this is going on but I never had seen anything official about it. I think that RRTII is one of the greatest games to come out and despite its shortcomings it was challenging, fun and with had a high replay value.

                      So long...

                        Sure, RRT2 has some good points. However, overall, I rank it below the original.

                          Well, possibly, but I never got around to those. After the game had screwed me over royally, I stopped playing.

                            I beg to differ. I never played the original and I can say without any bias that RRTII way truly magnificent. I also loved the music, which generally was bad in games in those years.

                              You have no basis for comparison, then.
