Railroad Tycoon II

  Description

Build the Transcontinental Railway or the Orient Express.
Run steam trains through the jungles of Africa, or electric trains through the Swiss Alps. Run your competitors out of town on a rail.

It can take you from New York to South Africa.
It can take you from the year 1804 to the year 2000. It can take you from penniless manual laborer to powerful multimillionaire. It can take you from a normal, well-adjusted, well-rounded person to an obsessed, single-minded, one-track trainhead. Railroad Tycoon II . .

Want to hop on a plane, car or ship, hop on another game.
This is a real railroad game, not just a strategy game that happens to involve railroads. Everything is authentic, from the period video and pictures interlaced within the game to the design and interface. A.I. opponents are based on real people. And all maps are real (based on satellite photography from the U.S. Geological Survey and other sources).
