Railroad Tycoon 3 won't run on Vista basic. I've downloaded four patches and nothing works. Vista will open the game to the menu for a few seconds and then the menu disappears and a message appears that says, in effect, the game won't run. Big bummer.

Although this game is a little bit older now, I really enjoy it just as much as when it was new. For anyone who enjoys strategy games, this is the epitome of good railroad simulation.

I played RT2 alot and what was the hardest thing to get used to in this game is the cargo economy. Especially when dealing with the idea that a city with a demand for a good will pay less than a zone with nothing on it.
I really like the fact that you can build your own industries instead of just buying up whatever is available.
The graphics are way better than RT2.
Overall very good game

Railroad Tycoon 3 (RT3) is a improved sequel to RT2. The graphics and topography are excellent. When laying track a grid can be overlaid, which gives you an idea of the elevations. This allows you to keep expenses down and improve travel speed by avoiding steep slopes when laying new track. The visuals of the camera moving with the locomtoives and trains and the accompanying sounds are very entertaining. The financial/operational details of the industries and businesses in the cities, towns, and countryside is very informative and important. Building a railroad is a challenge, that provides some insight into the financial considerations necessary for successful operations.
If you just want to put down tracks and run trains, then there is a "sand box" mode. Just put down your track, order locomotives and cars, then let them go.
The only negative I found occurs when a train enters a station, meets another train, or enters a repair site, it dissolves into a ghost-like apparition. Other than that TR3 will provide hours and hours of entertainment and educational fun.
