Absolutely not, get your facts straight: “Though [Railroad Tycoon] shares the "Tycoon" suffix, it is not related to other Microprose games such as RollerCoaster Tycoon and Transport Tycoon, which were developed by Scottish programmer Chris Sawyer.” [1] There are similarities, yes, but they play very differently.

They are all great games – although I am greatly favourable to Transport Tycoon – but do not fall for Microprose’s 90s naming that most likely was purely for marketing reasons.



I agree with you. My argument was against Transport Tycoon being a copy of SimCity.
