What they thought about it
"With its sheer complexity, vast, array of options, and immense scope for hours of play, Railroad Tycoon is one of those classiest simulations you're ever likely to see - a bit like SimCity with loads of extras thrown in." - Computer and Video Games (CVG) review
"A completely unique game - and not just for trainspotters or overgrown kids either. Take control of a fledgling railway in the heyday of steam and use your best business acumen to take it across an entire continent - wiping out, or buying up, the opposition on the way. This forerunner of the superb strategy game Civilization is definitely not to be missed. " - PC Review Issue 7 (1992)
