Fantastic! - An old favorite returns.
Feral, thanks for this port! Sid Meiers Railroads is one of my favorites.
To those who have not played, think resource management with a model railroad builder.
The revolutionary aspect is free form track laying. There are no "spaces" or "tiles" like in most RTS games.
As another reviewer said, the multiplayer options really make the game.

There are many things to manage, and in real time, so youre hoping your opponents are not managing them quicker than you are. Lay track to get that resource, or is it too far away to be profitable? Will nearby cities buy it? Is it more efficient to steal goods which are being produced by another player? Is that old engines maintenance getting too costly, should it be upgraded to a shiny new model? Sell my own stock to expand, or buy out other player before they become profitable and their stock goes up?
So many components, so fun, and seconds count when youre playing against other players. Its not often a stragegy game gets your adrenaline up!
Its a blast! Just buy it!
