Few things get many gamers as excited as a Sid Meier game, especially one bearing 'Railroad' in the title. The original Railroad Tycoon, released in 1990, was more than just a virtual model railroading set: it allowed you to construct an economic empire wielding cutthroat methods to crush the competition; "railroading" your opponents, if you will. Now, with the impending release of Sid Meier's Railroads!, engineers from across the gaming globe are frothing with excitement to get their coal covered hands on this spiritual successor to Tycoon. Firaxis was kind enough to send me a preview build of the game to see how it compares to its hallowed predecessor.
