I played it once...the day I bought it...haven't since. It's alright, but just didn't appeal to me.

I read Railroad as Roller....which led me to think of RollerCoaster Tycoon....which is such an awesome game (way better than Railroad Tycoon or whatever)

Version 3 is the latest.
I have it and liked it when I first got it, but, like so many games that I buy, I rarely play it now. It's a cool game though. If you ever played the DOS version way back in the early 90s that fit on a floppy, and loved it like I did, you'll love this version.

You can play it on a G3 iBook (900MHz, 640MB RAM, 32MB video).

[My late reply:]

Thanks for the feedback about Railroad Tycoon, guys. I did buy it (for only $20!!) and I have played it a couple times. It looked reeeeeeaaallly cool on my projector.

I haven't had much time to play anything, but I'm going to work on it on my vacation next week.

I'm waiting for the next killer single-player game, a la Deus Ex, Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, etc. No MMOG's since I don't have broadband.
