Theres a reason you only paid less then 3 bucks for it.What did you expect?Pretty much anything under 5 bucks is going to be "iffy". stop complaining so much. You sound like George Halas. Throwing nickels around like they are manhole covers. yeesh......
IT'S THREE BUCKS FOR GOODNESS SAKES !!!!!
Ummm I got Halflife Platinum for under $5 bucks and Call of Duty Gold and lets see Space Colony and Startopia and Rails Across America (this is fun railroad strategy game too). I got Combat Mission Barbarossa and Combat Mission Afrika Corps both for $7 each ;) Warlords III (Dark Lords Rising) and Warlords IV both were under $5 each. ;) SId Meiers Civil War collection under $5, Take Commands 2nd Manassas $6 :) Silent Storm Gold, The Guild 1400 and Restaurant Empire, Crusader Kings and that's just naming a FEW lol. So don't go giving me the song and dance that games under $5 suck anyways, no they don't in fact Sid's Railroads is the worst one I've ever gotten under $5 so far. I didn't stick to reading the forums and taking other players word for it cause I just couldn't believe Sid could be associated with a BAD sorry game like this. But, I was wrong, but, at least it didn't cost me $40 to find out. ;) But, evenso I expect a $5 game to be as good as a $40 game because it once was $40. ;) Some even $50. But, don't be jealous now cause I get all these fine games from $5 and under. ;) I still have paid for some that are below $20 that I didn't care for like AGEODS Birth of America that game suks too, HTTR was another an another that suks to me also, don't care for historical simulations since they really have no replay value after a couple of rounds I prefer RANDOM features in games even wargames. Knights of Honor is merely ok I didn't like the system of only having so many leaders one could use for everything required. Imperial Glory is pretty good since I'm not a big nut about historical accuracy as long as the game is challenging and it is. Good AI in IG. EU III it's meh, I prefer Crusader Kings over it any day, M2TW really crappy AI as usual so bad I just resold it on ebay paid $15 and some change for it and resold it for the same, I paid above $10 for those, but, under $20. ;)
Games I'll probably pay full retail for? ......Kharkov.....I'm interested in EU:ROME but I can wait on that as I expect the usual patch city for yet another Paradox mess out of the box. EUIII went down to $14 pretty quickly and I expect the same for EU:ROME.

Sounds like a nice game for my kids.
Where do you get these $3 games?
Ebay and Amazon.com mostly. And truthfully you're kids will like Railroad Tycoon III better than Sid's Railroads.

No. Actually RRT3 sucked too. Only good RRT was number 1(and the deluxe version). The rest sucked, they lacked soul.
The only thing about RRTIII that I found that sucked was the AI play. They didn't buy up industries like I did and didn't really expand out like I did either. But, at least this could be made a bit more challenging by just adjusting the scenario goals. As far as TIME elements it ran along smoothly on slow settings and the continental coast to coast map was great and the fact you can ride inside the engine compartment made it quite fun for the kids, hell I even liked it the first couple of times. The land/terrain graphics were what was meh about it, not many features and if you've seen one tree and mountain you've seen em all. lol No it wasn't Sid Meiers Railroad Tycoon, but, it is better than Sid's Railroads by a long shot. lol RRTII isn't bad either, has some randomness to it and the AI is fair, yet, still not as strong as the origional ones. The evolution of most games seems to be to dumb them down so 8 year olds can play them an win so they can get all gleeful and happy like they are on a sugar rush. ;)
