Sid Meiers Railroad

[Grandpa Troll]

This will be my first go around, quite honestly its due to Sid being associated that drew my attention.

I started checking it out and thought heck, looked like fun

I wouldn't have too high hopes.

Mr. Spikey

What shouldn't I have too high hopes of?

I ask because what I am "expectinging" or perhaps hoping for is a game to make a community to grow an economic railroad environment and watch it unfold in front of me over time.

I have not played any others so I dont know what to or not to look for, please share what I should not expect and thus not be too disapointed in

Well I'm not known for my fondness of the genre.

You'll probably like it as you have something nice to say about almost all games.

you be right my friend

[ZargonX]

Well, I'm excited for it!

[FrostyBoy]

me too, I think this game will be addictive.

[Grandpa Troll]

I was thinking back to what Sir Spikey had stated, about me..I do try to allways find something good in life,people and of course games!

Probably what I most enjoy about games is modability..for strictly my enjoyment

[DrSpike]

Yeah, but it's more fun saying this game is worthless and then watching all the fanboys squeal.

They said that they disliked the last two strongly.. and were making it different. This is somewhat shown by the fact they are dropping Tycoon from the name.

Maybe PopTop still has the right to that name...

My favorite part from the first one was balancing turns in the track versus elevation changes.

For me the best part of the first game was rate wars

And that I couldn't even build tunnels in the sequel

Not quite.

Games with Tycoon in the name are more likely to scare people off than make them want to play it these days...

I preordered through Electronic Boutique and hopefully will get in a week!!

Cant wait!

Does anyone know if you can play from the very first train models? And how far into the future can we go? (if at all)? I loved that crappy putt putt train that can barely carry the weight of 10 people. I feel so proud for my crappy putt putt train when it makes its first 1000KM journey that I torturously send it on.

And can I play in England or Europe? I always enjoyed playing in England for some reason, not sure why..
