@evan I do like trains, but I really love train games. I love #18xx board games, like #cuberail board games, love #AgeOfSteam, like the occasional crayon rail, like #TransportTycoon and really love #RailroadTycoon.

Big soft spot for Steam trains, particularly.

The thing about #RailroadTycoon3 is it's a game, maybe? It's really a giant economic and logistics engine with game bits bolted on.
Honestly, the economy does a lot before you even get involved.

One more gold down in the #RailroadTycoon3 campaign!

Got Silver first attempt on Argentina, but took a bunch of attempts to get the gold. Don't think I'll go back and get the missing golds later... I don't think I'm enough for a gold on Orient Express.

@transitdiagrams My sympathy: you've never played #RailroadTycoon. Produced by #SidMeier and associates for #PC in the 1990s, it had a 32-station limit and a 32-train limit. Processing-plants could stop production randomly even if you had paid a million dollars to build them and had a long train approaching with material that could not earn you anything anywhere else. Very complex formula for calculating how much you earned per delivery. Addictive but annoying.

@transitdiagrams If only #RailroadTycoon could have so many stations!

Railroad Tycoon was the first game I bought for my Commodore Amiga 2000 in late 1990 and I played the heck out of it for a long time. It was a really good simulation that in some aspects went over my head - included in the box was a very thick manual and I only really learned to play it properly after some years! Railroad Tycoon was just the beginning of the great Sid Meier games... #retrocomputing #vintage #vintagecomputer #retrogaming #commodore #amiga #railroadtycoon #sidmeier
