A collection of over 50 "railroad" blues tracks, the game broke ground at the time for using high-quality studio recordings, some with vocals, rather than the midi-files which were the standard at the time.īut what's great about the music is that it really blend into the game very well. One of the other key points people praised the game for was its soundtrack.
Though they're noticeably old they're thankfully not distracting, neither do they get in the way of playing the game. But it made the game really enjoyable to play because it looked so pretty.Īlthough by today's standards it's far from the top end of what's graphically possible, they still looks pretty decent. But that's not to say that any of these graphics were actually necessary the simulation model and strategy behind the actual gameplay didn't need any of this. By using a four-point rotatable diametric map, the visuals suddenly had depth and were (almost) 3D. In 1998, when the game was first released, the graphics were a big step-up from the first title in the franchise, and were generally pretty stunning.
Now available on Steam, the game has been tinkered with to run smoothly on newer systems, bringing fans of the game back once more to lose days at a time. Having acquired the rights to the original Railroad Tycoon game from MicroProse, Gathering of Developers and PopTop Software went on to develop a then graphically exciting game, but also fine-tuned its economy and industry models to add further levels of complexity.
