alt Hacker NewsI loved this game so much. There was a "deluxe" version with small improvements.
I would love to play a modern version of this. Probably true for other strategy classics like Master of Magic, Master of Orion 2, Colonization.
Edit: ha, I remember that I used a really good tactic of playing with competitors' stocks, gaining majority, siphoning tons of money from them, and then selling the stocks. More profitable than running actual railroads.

I have been hooked on Transport Fever for a while now. My only gripe with it is that civilian vehicles will take roads intended for cargo/public transport traffic only. So the most profitable way is to disconnect entire cities by road and then use rail or road with disjunct depots to connect cargo to cities. This way you can force civilians to use public transport.

Steam and GoG have a version of Railroad Tycoon 2 which works well on modern machines:

Not quite as old-school as the first version, but IMHO gameplay-wise "just right".
