I had bought Railroad Tycoon III when it came out, and promptly stopped playing it when I discovered you couldn’t play on a big map with a long scenario length. Railroad Tycoon II Platinum became available on Steam a few years ago. ![]() I never made it further than about 1920. This sandbox scenario was basically the nirvana for someone interested in operating a rapidly growing business sprawling out of control. The European Scenarios seemed to focus much more on negotiating with, say France, to have the right to extend your german railroad company’s line into French territory.īut in the North American scenario, you could run your own railroad company over this huge landscape, all the way from 1830 to shortly after 2000. It was as if they had all been unified into one country as you didn’t have to worry about gaining the right to build railroads and stations in each of these countries. The scenario was called North America, and it covered Mexico, Cuba, the US and Canada. I call it a sandbox scenario, because it was a scenario that shows what the main campaign of the game should have been like. I tried the campaign, which was a collection of scenarios basically, but most of the scenarios were time limited, with small goals and a local area where you were building your railroad network up. No, after playing the early campaign scenarios a few times, I spent vast hours playing one scenario in particular. When I went to college, I got my first Windows PC, and one of the first games I played on it was Railroad Tycoon II.
