Railroad tycoon

Foxer · Sep 2, 2004, 10:39 AM

Hey all. I noticed an ad in the new MacWorld mag that Railraod Tycoon 3 is coming our way. Next to the Civ series, this my all time fave. I wasted much time back in college on the original version, and the lack of a Mac version always got me down. No mention of it on the Macsoft website. Anyone have any idea when it will hit stores?

I have Railroad Tycoon 2 and 3 for Windows and I love them both. RT 3 has much better graphics and even the ability to ride your trains! It's also a little easier to use. Needless to say, I still play RT 2 a lot. I'm hoping they'll run on VPC.

When RT3 was announced for PCs, I wanted it. But its release conincided somewhat with my decision to switch, so I didn't buy it. But I might get the Mac version if my Rev. B 12" PB is capable of running it properly. Anyone any idea about hardware requirements?

Plays fine on my 12" PB Rev. B with medium settings and 1024x768 res. The requirements on the box say "400mhz"... which I believe is a miss print. I'd guess no less than 800mhz if you actually want to see anything texture wise.

Shipping on Sept. 13th? Wow! These things are usually months from announcement to release. Excellent.

Apple has a review on it on their games page. http://www.apple.com/games/articles/...ilroadtycoon3/ Has anyone played this yet? I'm wondering how it is on OS X, and I don't believe there's a demo available. (At least not on versiontracker, it just takes me to macsoft's site).
