The original Railroad Tycoon, released in 1990, quickly became a tremendous critical and commercial success, and at the same time created the Tycoon genre of game play.
The sequel, Railroad Tycoon 2, released in 1998, marked the rebirth of Tycoon games and was the first Tycoon game of the modern era, with great graphics, dozens of scenarios and Internet multi-player.
The Railroad Tycoon series has received critical acclaim and won numerous awards, including the coveted 'Game Of The Year' from numerous publications. This successful franchise has sold in excess of two million copies and established a massive and passionate worldwide fan base.
Now, the King and creator of the Tycoon genre is returning to reclaim its throne!
The original Railroad Tycoon was created by world-renowned developer, Sid Meier. It was the first Tycoon game ever made, and successfully merged a well-crafted business model with a player friendly graphical presentation. Railroad Tycoon was a critical success, winning 'Game of the Year' from the major magazines of the day, and became a worldwide bestseller.
In 1997, Phil Steinmeyer, CEO of PopTop and a huge fan of the original Railroad Tycoon game, began work on a new railroad game, designed to be the spiritual successor to Railroad Tycoon. A year and a half later Railroad Tycoon 2 (published by Gathering), was released, and like it predecessor became a massive critical and commercial success, garnering many 'Strategy Game of the Year' and 'Game of the Year' type awards. With sales of over 1.5 million copies it was clear that Phil Steinmyer had accomplished his goal, in fact the game is still selling today five years later.
Six months after Railroad Tycoon 2 launched, the game Rollercoaster Tycoon was released and proved to be a huge success, holding the #1 slot in the PC sales charts for many weeks. The tycoon craze was on - dozens of games have launched over the years since, attempting to duplicate the formula that made the Railroad Tycoon series resonate so soundly within the gaming community
Now, in 2003, PopTop and Gathering stand ready to release Railroad Tycoon 3, a big budget, gorgeous 3D transformation of the classic and the game that will usher in the third era of Tycoon games.
