It was released for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, PlayStation and Dreamcast. Railroad Tycoon II is a business simulation video game in the Railroad Tycoon series developed by PopTop Software and published by Gathering of Developers.

The Story Behind Railroad Tycoon II

In normal financial mode, the player may buy or sell any companies' stocks at various prices depending upon the economy. Most scenarios also have a medal system similar to that of the campaign, although any scenario may be played in sandbox mode as well. Many fan creations have been shared on various fan sites.

Maps may be imported, drawn from scratch, or edited from existing maps and saved under new names. When the economy is good, the revenue of hauled goods and stock prices will be higher. The Dreamcast version released in 2000 has remade 3D graphics and all the scenarios from the main game and the expansion pack and some new scenarios.

How Railroad Tycoon II Plays

The players are encouraged to find a chain of production to make new cargo by hauling the right type of cargo to each step of the industries. The player determines what kind of cargo(es) to load and unload at each station that they add to a train's schedule. Way-points may also be inserted to override default track selection where multiple paths are possible.

Track maintenance is solely calculated from track mileage. There are many industries in the game, and each can produce and/or convert specific cargoes. The fuel cost depends on the cargo weight and the distance each engine runs.

Why Players Still Load It Up

As with the campaign, each scenario is based on a geographical location, which may be fictional. The player may play any mission in each set as many times as they wish; they may also continue even though a mission has been failed. It was later ported and released for Linux.

Felsl of PopTop, much of Railroad Tycoon IIs success came from European markets; he explained that it "did better in Europe than it did in the US, which is not the way things usually end up." By August 2000, Railroad Tycoon II had been released in 39 unique SKUs worldwide, including eight Windows versions in English alone. The economy may fluctuate during gameplay, with five economic states possible: Booming, Prosperity, Normal, Recession and Depression. Which locomotives are available depends on the time period and scenario.
