Sid Meier'S Railroads

A personal favorite, I revisit this game every few years. It never disappoints.

This is a very playable game. You can compelete a run in about n hour or so, and on hard setting its can be a challenge. The main defect is that the AI can cheat - it sometimes runs a line across yours without a bridge, and blocks you off. This can spoil a run as you feel you have lost unfailrly.

Choo choo! Runs great for me on Win 10 despite its age (crashes others report are rare for me although I remember them being an issue previously) and still looks terrific. The gameplay has aged just as well and scratches that business sim itch even if it's arcade-y compared to Railroad Tycoon and others. Definitely recommended.

great game, wish there were more scenarios to play

Feels like a game built around people who like to watch trains going around, picking things up, and dropping them off. There are some goals and challenges that add some dimension to it, or you can just keep it casual. A simple but enjoyable pasttime.
