Hey all, Sharp here...well don't let this game's
complicated look turn you away from it. It's a great game,
with a ton of nice graphics and lots of control. However,
it's a little hard to learn how to play. So, I decided to
write a quick documentation on how the game works and what
to do in it to 'Win'. First of, upon installing, select
Adlib (if you have a soundblaster) as your Music sound
source, and Soundblaster as your Digitized sound source.
This may be a little strange, but TRUST me, the game will
lock up a lot if you use Soundblaster music, and besides the
adlib sound track SOUNDS BETTER! If you have already
installed the game, I suggest going back in the INSTALL.EXE
program and making the above changes. After you're in the
game, first you'll want to select a level of play. If it's
your first time playing, I suggest Investor. The area you
play in is VERY important to the difficulty of the game.
This is a list of how each area compares to difficulty...
Europe - Easy, large cities plenty of room
to build.
North America - Average, nice size cities, lots of
industry.
Western Us - Not Bad, cities are growing.
Eastern Us - Hard, the towns are tiny and it's
pretty tough to make money.
Africa - VERY Hard, the VILLAGES are spread
out and it's almost impossible to
survive.
South Africa - ARGH! This is impossible for a
first time player, but it's good
practice for the later levels.
I strongly suggest Europe for new players. Alrighty, now
you're in the game...first things first...those orangy blobs
of color you see all over your map are cities. Find two
blobs that are fairly large in size and close together.
Then move your mouse to the pull down menus above and select
DETAILED VIEW...then click on the area of the two blobs.
You now want to connect track between the two cities (blobs)
you've chosen. To build track, hold SHIFT + THE DIRECTION
you want to build. After you've laid your track, you should
build a station at either end of it...click on the build
menu above. Then select BUILD STATION. There're several
different types of stations to choose from. I suggest
building a Terminal in every CITY you connect to. However,
later in the game when you connect to oil wells or iron
mines, use stations or depots. Signal towers are used to
help speed up trains if two or more of them are running on
the same track...in other words, NEVER BUILD A SIGNAL TOWER
until you have two trains or more. Now that you have
established two stations in two cities, select BUILD, and
the BUILD TRAIN... you'll want to select the most expensive
and fastest train for your first two stations. Now, you
should see a cute animation screen as the train rolls onto
the tracks and stops infront of you. At the time, select
the cars you want the train to carry. If you are not sure
which ones you want to carry, simply hit enter. Ok now you
see a train roster with your new train on it. You see the
two city names down below, at the bottom left hand corner of
your screen...yeah...right there. Ok well next to them, you
see a list that says CARS and then under that it should say,
NO CHANGES. Well, you can click on NO CHANGES to select the
cars the train should pick up at that city. After you have
created you're first train, you may want to look around for
other cities to connect to in the future. You may want to
visit the stock market and try your luck, click on CALL
BROKER on one of the pull down menus. You might say, HEY my
trains are moving hella slow! Well, since the game is high
res, it's gonna go sorta sluggishly, but if you click on
LOCAL VIEW in the pull down menus the trains go A LOT faster
and the game begins to get fun. Now you're basically set,
your main goals now are to connect to more cities and
industies and try to make as much money as possible. I
suggest buying some of your competitors stock, it usually
goes up, and you can make quite a bit of money. The game
doesn't tell you this, but you start off with a $500,000
loan from the bank. You should re-pay this within 10-15
years of the game. To repay the debt, go to CALL BROKER and
on the left side it should say BONDS...select that and the
select RE-PAY $500,000 bond. That should do it. If you
need more loans, you can select SELL $500,000 bond.
Careful, debt builds up pretty quickly. The Stockmarket in
this game is pretty useful, you can buy out other Rail Road
companies by purchasing over %50 percent of their stock.
Treasury stock is how much stock you own in yourself, you
should acquire some of your own stock, unless you don't
trust your own company. I won't tell you TOO much about the
game, that's half the fun of Rail Road Tycoon, finding out
new things as you play. I've just given you the basics.
Also, in this zip I have included a save game to help start
you out if you need extra help, just copy it to your Rail
Road Tycoon directory and select LOAD GAME from the startup
menu. Ok, well enjoy the game, and do your self a favor,
DON'T GET THE CHEAT...there is one out there, but this game
is destine to become a classic, don't spoil it for your self
just yet.

Railroad Tycoon Deluxe Reviews
Summary: Player builds and runs a railroad. That's it, really. There are several different maps to play on such as Europe, North and South America, and Southern Africa. I played the original version a lot. The main improvements in this version are some extra maps and you can build more stations. At the time of release the program was a disappointment due to slow running and bugs. The copy here runs well for me and does not slow down.
This game should be of interest to people who like management games. I haven't tried it on the hardest level yet but the computer players don't seem to be a major threat. Most of my enjoyment comes from making improvements to my lines and increasing profits. While considered by some to be a real 'gamer's game' I don't find it overly complex. On the contrary, the interface is pretty good. The only thing I've had to look up online really was how to lay track (Shift+direction key). There doesn't seem to be a good FAQ floating around out there (there is one but it appears to be the notes to a fuller treatment and often refers you to the manual) but there are a couple of sites offering strategy tips. The manual is available at Home of the Underdogs.
One of the best things about RRT and RRTD is that unlike most strategy games the fun isn't just in the early parts of the game. As time goes on you will still have plenty of room to expand and plenty of upgrades to make. In other words, unlike Civilization and Europa Universalis, for instance, it doesn't cause late game tedium.
In addition to operations, there's a financial element when you call up your broker. You can borrow and repay money, buy treasury stock to prevent takeovers, and buy rival railroad stocks in an attempt to takeover or just screw with them.
Competition also comes into play when you and a rival run lines into the same station. This causes a rate war and if you aren't well entrenched you could well lose it. I also try to cut off the computer player from good cities by building track around the markets.
I know that a lot of players get mad when the computer 'cheats'. I don't, but I understand that others do. The AI obviously plays by different rules than the player in this game and can lay what would be for the player illegal track configurations. Another possible concern is the lack of multi-player.
A nice bonus to the game are the optional headlines that pop up reporting major events such as the beginning and end of wars or the assassination of leaders. As the game will appeal to history buffs in particular, this is a nice extra. I've only played on the North American map so far and the headlines are awfully Americentric: I've only noticed one Canadian headline and no Mexican headlines.
My biggest criticism is that the game allows you to do quite well just running passengers and mail in simple configurations. Sure, you can make nice profits on short runs from resource heavy areas to cities but you don't have to if you can't be bothered.
A lesser complaint is that there are a lot of random events, which, again, annoy some gamers more than others. I personally feel that they increase realism, but I admit I'm about ready to start running the game in 'no collision' mode because I'm tired of rushing to (try and) save a train headed for a washed out bridge.
Overall, I consider Railroad Tycoon Deluxe to be a grand little game of modest size and small demands on your computer. I haven't played Railroad Tycoon II or 1830 as yet, but most of the (admittedly few) reviews that compare those games to RRTD I've read rate RRTD the better game despite its age. I'm not particularly interested in railroads, but this is a good game for anyone interested in railroads, business, history or strategy games in general.
(Note on ratings: No, it doesn't deserve an 8 for graphics because the graphics aren't good even by 1993 standards and I have no idea what it sounds like. I just wanted to give it a 9 overall.)
I recently have spent alot of time playing this old game. I can't really say if it is better than the original RRT, but I cannot imagine playing the original, as the deluxe version is basic enough for my needs.
It took me awhile to figure out the basics of this game without a manual, and I haven't even started touching on the economic dynamics. Like most games by Sid Myer (the creator of Civilization), RRT starts as a basic and playable game, but turns into a complicated dynamic, and almost living entity.
Playing a railroad tycoon may not be for every sim game player, and if you're looking for something more general, try Transport Tycoon. The basic premise is to build rail links between cities and provide commerce for specific industrial and economic needs, as well as transport people around.
The graphics are good for a game of this age, though the interface seems to flake out. This might be the result of playing such an old game on newer hardware. If you can stand the campy western MIDI soundtrack, then the music is good. Newer sound cards might have occasional problems with the digitized effects. Mine went into what sounded like a feedback loop once, but turning the sound on and off seemed to fix it.
Game play is straightforward IF you have the manual, without it, you'll be missing some importing clues as to the usability of the game. In particular, there are some important details on how to branch and double tracks that is extremely useful. The manual also helps to clarify why certain items are needed, and how to interpret certain screens of data. This would be essential later on in the game as the economy of the game changes significantly.
There are some flaws in this game. The most obvious and important one I noted, was that the computer is able to build track systems that are literally impossible for the player. There are some limitations in the total number of stations and other problems with the game that were never corrected by the developer, but the game is still quite playable.

Railroad Tycoon var et af de første spil, der gav dig mulighed for at drive et jernbaneselskab, og trods det, står det stadig i dag som et af de bedste spil i genren. Det var ganske udfordrende at få sit selskab til at give overskud, og når det endelig lykkedes, så var man alligevel nødt til at passe på, at de konkurrerende selskaber ikke voksede sig større og opkøbte ens selskab. Grafikken i spillet var i den første udgave af spillet i EGA-opløsning, hvilket vil sige 16 farver i en opløsning, hvor hver enkel pixel var omtrent på størrelse med en legoklods, ok, overdrivelse fremmer forståelsen. I deluxe-udgaven er det blevet opgraderet til en noget flottere VGA-grafik, der stadig nøjes med 16 farver, men til gengæld i en dobbelt så høj opløsning. Lyden i spillet fungerer udmærket som en slags baggrundsstøj, men den har egentlig ikke anden effekt, end at den gør dig opmærksom på, når et tog kommer ind, eller en stor nyhed er indtruffet. Musikken derimod anser jeg for noget nær det bedste i forhold til spillets alder. Alt i alt er Railroad Tycoon Deluxe et virkelig fedt spil, som jeg stadig i dag ynder at tage frem og spille lidt. At spillets ophav er Sid Meier kan måske give en forklaring på hvorfor... Og for dem, der er så heldige at have en nyere computer, kan spillets efterfølger også varmt anbefales. Det er mere missionsorrienteret, men der ud over er det lykkedes at fange stemningen fra den første Railroad Tycoon og overføre det til et nyt og særdeles flot spil.
Ahhhh This is what I call a great game! This week end, I've played Railroad Tycoon II in my sister's place, and we remembered sadly how the original one kept us playing four days and night in the early 90's. I've played the CGA version with PC speaker sound, but believe me that still was great.
We could recognize trains from sight thanks to really nie graphics. But stop babling, on with the game.
In this game you have in, charge to manage a railroad company. You build stations, lay tracs, buy trains, choose which goods go to which town (according to what people offer and what they ask). For exemple, you send grain to a station near a farm. Then you take livestock to send them in a town to be butchered and then in another one one to be eaten. The more distant the town are, the more you earn.
And there's also bonuses, where you're asked to realise a task in a given time. It can be being the first to join a town, deliver a special wagon of goods in a specific location, etc. And the computer AI try to beat you to win the bonuses too.
And there comes the talking about the AI. It was great and challenging at high levels. It was reactive as I remember. But I was young at this time :)
The harder part of the game may be the economic part, with the buying and selling of company shares (you ca, earn money on what your opponent make :p)
I think that's what there is to say. Have fun with this game! I think I'll always do (and by the way, RR2 is still good too!)
Railroad tycoon on unelma peli niille jotka lapsena halusivat junankuljettaja. Railroad strategia peli, jossa luodaan juna verkosto. Vaikeusasteen ja peli alueen valitsemisen jälkeen pelaajalle annetaan 1.000.000 rahaa, joilla pitää maksaa uusi rautatieverkosto. Pelaaja voi rakentaa Amerikan itä- ja länsirannikolle, englantiin ja eurooppaan. Englanti alkaa 1800-luvulla, amerikassa 1800-luvun puoleesa välissä ja euroopassa 1800-luvun lopulla.
ENsin etsitään kaksi suurta kaupunkia jotka ovat lähekkäin. Sitten tutkitaan akupunkia ja vedetään junaraide sinne. Pitää myös huomioida että matkustajat maksavat sitä enemmän mitä nopeammin juna on perillä toisessa kaupungissa. Kaikki erillaiset mutkat ja nousut hidastavat junan liikettä. Teräksen tai hiilen rahtaamisessa ei ole väliä kuin kauan menee aikaa. Kun rata on vedetty toiseen kaupunkiin ostetaan juna. Eri vuosina on erillaisia junia halpoja ja hitaita, kalliita ja nopeita. Kun rahaa tulee lisää rakennetaan toi rata ja uusi juna ja tulee tuplasti rahaa. Ja viela paljon lisää. Railroad tycoon grafiikka on ihan hyvän näköistä kun ajatellaan että on vain 16 väriä. Muusiikkia ei alkumusiikin lisäksi oikein ole. Hiiri ohjaus toimii mukavasti. Rail road tycoon on oiva valinta strategia pelien ystäville. suosittelen lämpimästi
Railroad tycoon. In this game Sid Meier, the master, proves once again that it is not the graphics the sound or the 3d animation that makes a game (indeed I have played many games with an abundance of all 3 that were crap) but the CONCEPT (did you hear me 3d realms?). In this superb must have classic of a game Sid Meier once again proves himself as the founding father of ALL our favourite pioneering and profiteering games.
You play one of up to four companies competeing in a variety of locations for monolpoly of the railroad, by conecting cities and industries, investing in stock building your own industries and moving materials, we see that you can compete in this game by any number of stratergies. With technological upgrades to the steam engines over time and upgrading your stations you can improves your profits or maybe bankrupt yourself. don't let the graphics fool you - this game was the inspiration for any number of other best sellers including the much loved transport tycoon. Ah, its good to be back in the drivers seat with the smell of burnt wood and soot in the air the wind in your hair and two thousand tons of steel racing you along the tracks.
if you liked this game try: transport tycoon, port of call, colonisation
m'étant fait une spécialité dans la série des Tycoon, je continue donc mes reviews ;)
Bon, autant le dire tout de suite, le jeu en lui-męme ne vaut rien. Je m'explique : graphismes désuets, jouabilité trčs faible dû au manque d'ergonomie de l'interface et le son est agaįant...
Et pourtant, je l'aime bien, ce jeu, car la structure et la simulation économique est unique (si on excepte évidemment que Railroad Tycoon 2 reprend tout ce systčme) et c'était le premier (avec A-Train) ā proposer la gestion d'une compagnie de chemin de fer.
Les campagnes reprennent des contextes historiques réels, ce qui pousse la simulation au plus haut point.
Ce qu'il manque, ā ce systčme de cotation, c'est une note "coup de coeur", car ce jeu va recevoir une cote qu'il n'est sans doute pas digne de recevoir. Je mettrais donc 8/10 en coup de coeur.
Reviewed By
Un classique de la simulation économique. J'ai passé de nombreeuses heures ā bâtir un empire du chemin de fer sur les 4 terrains proposés (usa est, usa ouest, grande bretagne, europe) il y a de nombreuses années, et j'ai gardé un trčs bon souvenir de ce jeu qui est vraiment une référence du genre. Son principal défaut, malgré une grande simplicité d'utilisation pour qui manie un peu le genre, est que le jeu devient monotone lorsque vous avez compris le systeme. Les différents niveaux de difficulté et la rivalité avec les autres compagnies de chemin de fer dirigées par l'ordi (dont l'ia est d'ailleurs assez au point) n'y change rien. Les possibilités sont tout de męme assez réduites, mais le jeu a son charme: plus les années passent plus les trains se modernisent. Vous commencerez dans le courant du 19e sičcle pour finir, si vous vous en sortez bien, ā la fin du 20e, et vous passerez de petites locomotives ā vapeur ayant du mal ā trainer plus de 2 wagons au tgv que l'on connait. Plus les années passent et plus le potentiel économique se développe, en fonction de la technologie de l'époque, et plus les enjeux sont importants.
Un jeu que tous les inconditionnels du genre devraient avoir au moins essayé une fois. 7,5/10
El Railroad Tycoon es un juego de estrategia en el cual tendremos que emprender una compania ferroviaria. Se puede comenzar a jugar en EE.UU. , Sudamerica, Europa y Africa.
Los mapas respetan la ubicacion de las ciudades, asi tambien la ubicacion de accidentes geograficos.
Al principio habra que unir dos ciudades y transportar pasajeros y cargas. A medida que crezcan la ciudades podra crecer nuestra estacion y llegar a ser termina de trenes.
El Juego es muy sencillo y merece que le den una oportunidad.
Detta spel är en midnre uppgradering till det lite äldre klassiska railroad tycoon, i princip är det samma spel. Du som spelare har olika val att göra precis i inledningen av spelet, välja svårighetsgrad(vilken pendlar mellan i princip 4 olika nivåer) samt välja geografiskt/årtals område, du har att välja mellan USA(väst resp öst), England, Europa samt Afrika.
Vilket man väljer är helt upp till vad man själv vill. I västra USA finns det en hel del pengar att tjäna in om man har trafik som går åt öst eller väst, syd till nord tjänar man inte inte alls lika mycket på.
Nu ska du bygga din första järnvägssträcka, välj först och främst ut 2 stycken platser som du vill ha stationer på. Bygg nu räls mellan dessa samt bygg stationer på rälsen, jag rekommenderar terminaler, men detta är ett högst individuellt val. Nu köper du ett tåg och din trafik kan startas.
Bygg dubbelräls, bygg broar(av skiftande kvalitet), bygg tunnlar för att undvika nedsaktande lutningar. Uppgradera dina tåg när du har råd, du tjänar på det. Köp aktier, både dina egna samt konkurrenternas. Gör tillägg till dina stationer, alltfrån verkstäder till postkontor. Då och då får du specialuppdrag, uppfyll dessa i snabb tid och saftiga bonusar ges.
Var beredd att sitta många timmar framför datorn med detta spelet, men det kommer du inte att ångra en endaste stund om du gillar detta spelet.
Railroad Tycoon handler i alt sin enkelthed om at starte et jernbaneselskab op fra bunden og sprede det ud over det kontinent man nu har valgt at 'erobre'. Man ser terrænet fra oven og skal så bygge jernbanen op, fører den igennem diverse byer og sørge for at have sorte tal på bundlinien hele tiden. Man har mange forskellige valgmuligheder i form af varer og der kommer nye lokomotiver, som man kan opgraderer sine gamle med. Hele tiden skal man passe på de konkurerende selskaber, som man kan opkøbe, hvis man har penge nok. Grafikken er ikke meget at råbe hurra for, men det er også gameplayet der stjæler hele opmærksomheden her. Man kan bruge mange timer på at udbygge sit netværk og bygge nye og bedre broer og opkøbe de andre selskaber.
Det gør det ikke værre at der samtidig er en god baggrundsmusik. Ellers er der ikke meget lyd i spillet andet end dine toget der tuder lystigt når de ankommer til stationerne.
Hvis man kan lide denne slags spil er dette her et must! Det er en af de helt store klassikere som helt sikkert er et download værd!
Railroad Tycoon: spillet handler, som også antydet af navnet, om at bygge en jernbane og administrere den. Som i den virkelige verden findes der rundt om i verden en masse resurcer og disse skal jo behandles eller rafineres før vi kan bruge dem. Dette kræver et veludviklet transportnetværk, og det er her du kommer ind i billedet, du skal bygge jernbaner i gennem hele landet, fra industri til industri. Spillet findes også i en ny og revideret udgave (Railroad Tycoon 2) hvor gameplayet og grafikken er væsentlig bedre.
Spillet er meget morsomt og kan optage meget af ens tid.
hvis du ikke er til tog så kan du prøve Transport tycoon hvor du har Lastbiler, fly, tog og skibe tilrådighed,
dette finder du også her på siden.
Personligt foretrækker jeg 2'eren, men i mangel på bedre er 1'eren også god til at holde en vågen på en kedelig hverdags aften.
Die für manche Leute negativen Dinge gleich vorneweg: Die Grafik ist selbstverständlich für heutige Zeit veraltet, aber dennoch zweckmäßig. Alles ist durchaus leicht erkennbar, und nach einiger Zeit fällt die Grafik auch nicht mehr auf. Der Sound ist ebenso zweckmäßig, untermalt das Spiel zwar nicht, stört aber ebenso wenig.
Zum Spiel selbst: Das Spiel ist ein echter Zeitfresser. Eine der vielen Ähnlichkeiten, die es mit Transport Tycoon zusammen hat, denn man vergisst leicht andere Termine. Man kann sich das Spiel wie Transport Tycoon vorstellen, allerdings auf Eisenbahnen beschränkt. Es gibt sowohl Personenverkehr, auf welchem das Hauptaugenmerk liegt, als auch Rohstoffverkehr. Man kann verschiedene Bahnhöfe bauen, und selbige auch upgraden (mit Hotels etc.). Desweiteren gibt es einen interessanten Aktienmodus, wie man ihn in Spielen dieser Zeit noch nicht kannte. Man kann somit andere Firmen aufkaufen, muss aber selbst auch am Aktienmarkt aktiv sein, und selbstverständlich Dividenden ausschütten.
Fazit: Da die Karten der echten Welt nachempfunden sind, macht es viel mehr Spaß, auch Eisenbahnen durch seine Stadt fahren zu lassen. Dieses Spiel stellt zusammen mit Transport Tycoon und Rollercoaster Tycoon die Elite der Tycoons dar, und ist definitiv ein Oldschool-Spiel, welches in keiner Sammlung fehlen darf.
