One of the first tycoon game was Railroad Tycoon. As the name suggests, it is all about railways and trains. Yes, in this game you have only one goal - to destroy all challengers - financially. After starting the game, you notice the game has been made by MicroProse, company which made many old cult games. Control is thus similar and you should have no problem with it. First you choose your starting location (America, Europe...), difficulty (guy with shirt, tycoon in tailcoat,...) and you can get into the building your first tracks. The first thing you need to do is to build railroad, and then the train station (preferably a second statio, so it is possible to ride somewhere). Important is the location of the station - try placing them in a strategic city, near individual factories... There are also other forms of investment, for example purchase of shares of your competitor. Rating? It's a quite complicated game and mentally challenging. To tell the truth, I never manage to destroy all challengers, I would have to play for about 50 years... Otherwise, of course, it is a must for lovers of Tycoon series.

Cannot build tracks in Railroad Tycoon. Have no idea why this happens.
