I bought Railroad Tycoon saturday for my Mac, I guess it just came out. Pretty nice, however it crashed alot until I got rid of the Comm Toolbox and System 6.07. It also does not like 6.1B9 multifinder. Comes with 5 disks and great documentation. All for $36.00 at Egghead. Alot of fun, however graphics are a bit slow even on a IIcx. It is an amazing game really, very complex. -- Joe Murphy National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD.

It is 4am in the morning and I just got done with a session of Railroad Tycoon.. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!!! although when I declared bankruptcy to be sneaky and write of 1 mil of the 2 mil I owed, I found that I could not lay track.. Ok fine, read the manual.. I did and it said I have to pay the bonds before I can do anything.. Ok, spent about 2 hours getting a cool million from about -270,000$. Went to the broker with my cash and guess what, the fool wouldn't let me pay! (the menu Item was greyed!) ack, there when a good game down the tubes. Anyone have anyhints about that? Anyway, Egghead software 39.99. Great game THANK YOU MICROPROSE AND SID MEIER!!! ALSO, MICROPROSE GAMES I have found are the highest quality games for the mac around... (and no I am not related to microprose). But if you doubt, go buy PIRATES! and RAILROAD TYCOON and you will see. And yes, it does run on the plus with 2 megs. run it without multi finder as it runs faster.. but it does run under multi finder as far as I can see. C'ya all, and good nite! -- ******************************************************************************* * Kevin Hill * San Diego State University, Accounting Major. * No matter where you go, there you are.

What about the speed? The previous message said it was slow on a ci, how bad can it be on a plus? Anyone know if it's, (drum roll please...) System 7 compatible? Yeah, just what I need right now, another great game. I'm gonna have to take some vacation time to catch up. :-) >-- >******************************************************************************* >* Kevin Hill >* San Diego State University, Accounting Major. >* No matter where you go, there you are. -- "If you're not going to kill me, I've got things to do."
