Sid Meier's Railroads! is now FREE

I guess they're trying to promote a new Railroads by giving the old one away. Get it now before they change their minds.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it is "Railroad Tycoon" that is free, and the new game, "Railroads!" is not free.

Either that or I'm doing something wrong?

Yes, it is the 1990 game Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon that is free to download.

Oops, yeah, my bad. It's Railroad Tycoon that is free as a promotion for Railroads!

Wow, Railroads is oooooold. It's not a fantastic game, but it's a nice distraction if you're into simulation games. Chris Sawyer's Locomotion is better, and Transport Tycoon Deluxe is even better.

I managed to get my copy of Railroads, two years ago for £2 at Asda.

Railroads! was a huge dissapointment after the amazing Railroad Tycoon 3.

BTW, Niode, have you cheked OpenTTD? It's TTD but like a thousnad times better and with a lively multiplayer component!

Transport Tycoon was (is) indeed rather cool - I also heard good things about OpenTTD but I never tried it, not enough time for all the nice games around.
