PC Gamer voted it the 4th best computer game ever.

Railroad Tycoon was a considered by many the best games released in 1990. Since good entrepreneurs are always successful in politics, if you bring excellent results, you can become President or Prime Minister. When the technology advances, you need to update the engines and retire the old ones, keeping your network fast and efficient.

You can also build industries to maximize profits, and even invest in the stock market, a lovely touch to the game. You will have to construct stations, buy the locomotives, decide what kind of wagons attach to the trains (passengers, mail or freight). In Railroad Tycoon you are the boss of a new company, during the Golden Age of Railroads, with the goal of building an efficient and profitable trains network. The game was conceived by legendary designer Sid Meier with Bruce Shelley, the duo that would create, one year later, the famous turn-based strategy masterpiece: Civilization.

In 1991 it was ported to Atari ST and Macintosh. Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon (or, simply, Railroad Tycoon) is a trains management and business sim created by MPS Labs and released by Microprose in 1990 for MS-DOS and Amiga.
