In honor of their most recent offering in the Railroad Tycoon series, the kind people of 2K Games have made a sacrificial lamb out of the original Railroad Tycoon by allowing fans to download the old-school sim for free on their PC. Yes, free. Get it while the good times last. We got this fantastic note in our inbox:
Today 2K has released the original Sid Meier’s Railroad Tycoon for FREE! Travel back in time to 1990 to see how Sid created an innovative new gameplay experience that has evolved into this month’s release of Sid Meier’s Railroads! for the PC. The 15MB Railroad Tycoon download includes the full game, manual, reference cards, etc.
So, while you wait to spend hundreds and thousands of dollars this holiday season, why not pull up a chair and enjoy some free Railroad Tycoon as you pass the time.
