and exactly what 'a stage further' translates into is as follows. It's completely obvious that the geezers behind Transport Tycoon (TT) played Railroad Tycoon, loved it to bits, and decided to take things a stage further.

What a blast from the past, eh? Yet another one of those classic Sid Meier games that have never been bettered: until now, that is.

For the actual gameplay itself we will have to make comparisons elsewhere. Let's say it's about one and a half times better than Sim City 2000: but, of course, that's simply the aesthetic side. well, it doesn't piss on it exactly, but it does sort of slap it around the face a bit. I'll say it here, at the beginning of the review, that Transport Tycoon takes Sim City 2000 and. And don't for even a pico-second think to yourself 'Yeah, but if it's just been done by two people, there must be something a bit shonky about it somewhere along the line,' because there's not a creak in sight. But the really amazing thing, and my mouth is truly agape in astonishment as I say this, is that the entire game was written, coded and drawn by a team of two. Transport Tycoon isn't a Maxis game - it's from MicroProse. from the art nouveau title screen, to the music, to the graphics (incredibly neat and detailed and with a beautifully implemented Windows system for all those submenus and graphs and whatnot). You see, everything about Transport Tycoon screams Sim City 2000. If someone had originally plonked me down in front of Transport Tycoon and told me that it was the latest game from Maxis, I wouldn't have doubted them for a moment.
