Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon is a business simulation designed by Sid Meier. The game is the first in the Railroad Tycoon series. The original idea came from the boardgame 1830: The Game of Railroads and Robber Barons.[1]
An expanded version of the game titled Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon Deluxe, was released in 1993. A port of the game for the Super NES was planned for a 1994 release, and screenshots were shown in the March 1993 issue of Nintendo Power; however the port was never released. Though no reason was officially given,[2] it may have been due to the DOS release of Transport Tycoon, and its planned release on the then-upcoming PlayStation console.[3] Likewise, a Sega Mega Drive version was also planned but never released.[4] The DOS version of the game was released as freeware for download in 2006.[5]
