Editorial Reviews:

Railroad Tycoon 3 takes you to the Golden Era of Railroading, and challenges you to make your fortune! Players begin with a modest sum of capital and have to expand their business until it becomes an empire. You'll also manipulate a realistic stock market and build up a massive fortune, while running their railroad into bankruptcy. Carve out your own cross-country routes -- build tunnels, overpasses and bridges over rivers, bays and canyons


User Comments about the Railroad Tycoon 3 (Mac)

The game's graphics and playability is great. No problems installing the game and the learning curve was very mininal even with the finacial portion. Great game for the price.



I rate Railroad tycoon definitely one of the very best constructor games - a must-have for every family. It offers a wide learning experience that can be tailored to suit and every facet has enough depth to keep intense involvement going for hours.I had feared that it would soon become history, but the third version is just so great and brings it all into a new life. Thank you MacSoft, a fantastic effort.



Here is the pros:-Have large selection of trains-Good anomation-Music-Fun (For a while)-RealalisticHere is the cons:-Has no add onsNote: Not saying everything because I don't want to spoil it for you.



The game is entertaining and provides some light hearted fun. You do have to get around the bugs and crashes (about every 2 hours on my powerbook G4). I have only played it 3 times over 2 hours and it seems consistent for this small sample.



Not to mention that the manual (for the mac version) explains that one must use the right mouse botton to use certain features--but a mac does not have two mouse buttons. I wouldn't waste my money on this junk. It looks likes something I played on an ancient 286--13 years ago. Spend your money on a bottle of Mickey's fine malt liquor & spend a day watching the trains down at the railyard instead.
