You could play the whole of the USA from the beginning of railroads to the modern era. Finding the best path for your tracks was very challenging in the early years.
I never played this game. My child memory was an ad: When you retire from Civilization I, after the demographics are shown, the ad for this game is present among others, and I always wish to play it.
This was such an amazingly innovative game. Along with Civilization, Railroad Tycoon made Sid Meier a household name in the gaming world. It was literally the original Tycoon game! I remember the excitement of seeing the whole country spread out like a blank canvas, and planning which cities to connect to start making money. And the fun of getting high-speed trains that would break records and get cool nicknames. It felt like later games in the series over complicated things and lost some of the magic of the original, which was relatively clean and simple.
I found a bug where, if you lost enough money fast enough, your cash would roll around to a very large positive balance. Not sure if that was specific to my processor or not. I found it in one other game too--not Microprose or related in any way.
The original, and still my favorite version. Less restricted and less complicated than the modern remake, it held my interest long after the later, prettier version left me bored. Building the railroads across vast stretches of North America, or the smaller region of the UK or Europe, was easy to do, but challenging to do well. My kids learned numbers and set theory from helping me build trains when they were very young, but that's not the reason I would like to have this back - it was the locomotives more than anything, within a simple and enjoyable game that doesn't get bogged down in modern complications.
Another BibleOnce upon a time, there was a huge war between the humans and the demons. After prolonged battles, both sides came to an agreement and established peace. But now, things start changing. A demon cult is becoming popular, and demons no longer wish to live in peace with the humans. Only you, the Hero of the game (nameless), aided by the Heroine (also nameless) and other friends, is able to bring peace back to the planet.
The Heroine has a special ability: she can talk to the demons you meet in random battles and persuade them to join your party. You can store those demons, collect them, and summon them in battles. Demons are divided into various races and species. Otherwise, the game uses a standard turn-based combat with physical attacks and magic spells.
This is spin-off turn-based strategy game, based on the Megami Tensei Gaiden series.Fantasy
Ragnarok: TacticsRagnarok Tactics is a tactical role-playing game for the PlayStation Portable. It is a spin-off to Ragnarok Online.
Many centuries after the legendary Holy War that forced humanity to erect a magical barrier to keep both gods and demons from overrunning their world, the Branshaldo Empire and the Aura Republic engaged in an extended war for control of the Grantria Peninsula. The conflict eventually ground to a halt and an uneasy truce was reached, as neither nation had the resources to continue fighting. Even so, the animosity between the two parties never faded, but smoldered beneath the surface, always threatening to explode into flames. In the resulting tenuous peace, the people of the peninsula began to resume their normal lives, always aware that the war could resume at any time.
It was against this backdrop that the protagonist begins their fight against rival factions, hordes of ravening monsters controlled by enigmatic puppet masters, and even their own dark impulses...Action Fantasy
