  Railroad Tycoon 2 is in my opinion the best railroad company simulator there ever was. It is reasonable in difficulty, graphics did not age too terribly and while it is simplified a bit, the corelations between products and different buildings spawning on the map through time give it endless replayability. It is on par with Transport Tycoon, so If you liked that one, you will also love this game. It is obviously very old, so approach with caution, If you never actually heard of it before.

  Ahh, Railroad Tycoon II. Another game resurrected from the mists of time and childhood memories of playing this game as a starry-eyed child with my train-obsessed father. Once the shine of nostalgia had worn away a little, however, I found myself able to give a more..objective review of the game. The positives? Well, the music is great, the attention to detail (particularly with the trains and historical aspects) is pretty impressive, and the gameplay, at its core, is quite addictive. As you play, you find yourself eager to expand your railway, to explore the map and find out what locomotive will be unlocked next. There's also an impressive array of scenarios/maps to play, and an amusing level editor. However, one drawback I found is that the game can be rather confusing. There are no proper tutorials, none that I could find anyway (occasional hint boxes hardly count), and it's scarily easy to run out of money, which in turn annoys your investors and nets you a game over. The interface can be rather confusing, and at the risk of sounding stupid, I don't really understand the financial side of the game (bonds and stock, etc) and how that all works. All that being said though, if you can wrap your head around the confusing mechanics, this is still a timeless classic of a game, and very enjoyable. Not the best, but definitely recommended as a cheap time-waster.

  $5? You wont go wrong buying this! I've been playing since it was originally released way back in 1998, I believe this is the greatest strategy/train game (board or PC) ever. The graphics aren't REAL bad, I sure wish they would redo it with improved 1920 x 1080 high resolution graphics, those old trains would really look great! As it is though, they still look OK IMO. But if you can get past the graphics, you will not be disappointed. Nice atmosphere too. It has improved AI since incorporated to STEAM. Harder! 7.5/10 as it sits. Windows 8 with Intel i5 and gforce GPU. Works great! Update, upgraded to Win 10, and runs well

  This game is kickass! It engages your brain - memory and planning are paramount - while also having an excellent American folk soundtrack of guitars and harmonicas. Daft numbers of scenarios & campaigns, all with inherent replayability, can be boosted to astronomical proportions (https://codeload.github.com/oseparovic/RRT2Maps/zip/master << that's a metric f*ck-tonne of extra maps & scenarios). I have a thing for older games - they tended to be more demanding and more mentally stimulating than modern games - and this fully lives up to those ideals. The game consists of competing with AI or human-controlled opponents (or not, if that's what you want) to connect trade resources on a map, against the backdrop of a potentially lethal economy and advancing technology. The right scenarios (in the zip I linked to above) will let you go for >150 years - some are even without a time limit - but you typically are presented goals - specific things to achieve by a specific time, in order to get a bronze, silver or gold medal (these goals are usually along the lines of "Connect point x to point y, move twelvety tonnes of cargo K between those two points and amass $------ personal fortune by date z"). I give you fair warning, the graphics aren't going to blow you away, not by a long shot, but the complexity, detail and the intense addictiveness of the game should tickle you if you're prone to being tickled by a game of this type.

  This is one of my top ten favorite games. Every couple of months I go back to it for a week. Owned the disks but lost them awhile ago so I was very pleased to see steam have this game. If you like the Tycoon games this is a must own. I love turning the industrial mode to expert and buying buildings on a competetors track. The music is unique, reminds me of hobos eating out of a can of beans around a makeshift campfire.

  [h1]I have played this game from the CD for many hours, just bought Steam version. You may trust my review.[/h1] [i]This ain't yo mamma's kind of game.[/i] No this ain't. Railroad Tycoon 2, in my opinion the best of all train games new or old, is one that'll make you frustrated by all means whilst keeping you up till all hours of the night. Let me explain why. The rail building is not easy. You must pick your terrain carefully and stategically. Mountains will cost you more, and slow your trains down. Plains are cheaper and don't require heavy-duty 3-Truck Shay trains. Deciding which cities to connect together via a rail also takes thought. The larger the city, the more passenger and mail revenue is to be had. The maps in this game are realistically made (Alaska map looks like Alaska). But when you do finally get your rail system figured out, it's time to turn to the Stock Market. Very useful in making lots of personal cash, issuing stock for some extra company cash, or merging with another rail company. Invest wisely, the AI in this game were created intelligently. For example if you see Jay Gould in your game (look him up:) watch your back, while other tycoons may not even utilize the Market at all. Every tycoon Character in this game has a different personality. So in conclusion, this game is 17+ years old and out of every rail game out right now, I still choose to play ol' RRT2. Yes max res is 1024 x 768, maybe an HD version would pop up someday? This game takes time to learn, but once down you will definently need a better office chair and a comfortable mouse pad. Also there are websites out to download user created maps/scenarios, and a map editor to create your own (this comes with game). Much replayability.

  ***Fix for high resolution monitors**** I loved this game as a child, when bulky crts and win 98 were the cool thing. However resolutions changed and I was wondering how all these people were able to play this game when my screen was zoomed in too much. I finally got the correct resolution for the game running on a 4k monitor. The problem seems to be due to display scaling. So finally heres the secret if you are having problems with screen size. Go through your steam folder to rail road tycoon, find the exe file, RT2_Plat, right click, go to properties, click compatibility tab, and select "disable diplay scaling on high DPI settings" and wholla it should work. If you have a "failed to find steam" error make sure that your steam.exe file (can use the one on desktop) is set to "run as adminstrator." All you high resolution, large display scaling peoples, youre welcome. Please bump for people who need help. Cheers.
