Title: Railroad Tycoon Fans? (including SMR)
Post by: un1 on April 03, 2009, 08:21:24 AM
I know a few people such as DTP, BigMatt, but is there anyone else?
Also, this thread is also for SMR fans.

Anyone with the SMR game and disc:
I made a new region and I need people to test it out, before I publish it on my website, anyone who wants to please leave a reply and I'll PM the download link to you.

I have it, but I haven't played it in a long time.  What does SMR stand for?

My favorite would have to be RRT3, but I play it and SMRR interchangeably.

I never got into that series.

I played 1830 (a board game translation) form Avalon Hill and Rails Across America.

I loved the original Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon from 1990 and its "Deluxe" incarnation in 1993.  I played both of those for years. Even though I bought RRT2 and RRT3, I never really got into either of those.  Believe it or not, it was partly the isometric view that  both of them used, plus the lack of an Undo command in RRT2.  I suppose working plans myself, a 2-D view is easier to work with, and I never got used to laying out track in the isometric/semi 3D mode.
