Railroad tycoon 3 is much more immersive and deeper game as the micromanagement required is definitely more than sid meier's rail roads..but it sometimes becomes a hassle if u are new to the game..u simply cannot relax by laying out tracks and putting trains on top of them to run between stations.. there are industries to be bought, auctions to be won for technology patents, trading stocks, keeping a check on your accounts round the clock, check on which route u are losing more money than making it..etc.,.

though sid meier's railroads too offers these micro management options, its not too elaborate..so it doesnt give you tht feeling of accomplishment as RRT3 does where u really have to think a lot..
Plus you'll be amazed by the level of graphic detail in railroad tycoon 3 which is chic even when it is 3 yrs older..its definitely better than Sid Meier's..and it is not as big a resource hog as Railroads 2006...considering it is a 2003 game..it'll work gr8 on today's dual core computers..

Only problem is finding it here...i havent had success finding it here in mumbai..the one i had, had a terrible death inside my friend's cd drive..
if u know where to get it in mumbai, pls let me know..btw, i had no luck at FORT, Mumbai.. maybe p2p's the way to go..
