I downloaded the demo to Port Royale 2, and as far as I can tell, it's exactly the same as Patrician 3.

Thanks everyone for the help!

One other game I've got that was kind of fun (I forget why I got bored with it) was Patrician (2? 3?).

The Settlers - I've got the anniversary edition of Settlers II which I'm having some fun with. Are you talking about the most recent version of that (i.e., not the upgraded version 2)?

Locomotion - Actually, I tried that but didn't like it that much. I've still got it on the shelf, so maybe I should dust it off and give it another try. I was probably expecting something like a Transport Tycoon 3 and was disappointed, since I liked TTD so much.

Children of the Nile - Have it. Like it.

Port Royal - I have NOT tried this one. Maybe I'll pick this up.

Sid Meyer's Railroads! - Being a Sid Meyer fan, I bought this one, but I found it a bit too simplistic, cartoonish and limiting. As I remember, there's no method of signaling, right? You almost have to have an entire rail line for each train your running.

Rollercoaster Tycoon - I loved the original one. The second one seemed like just a warmed over version of the first. I only downloaded the demo of the third, but I didn't see much new unless you're really really into designing rollercoasters or your dream theme park. Me - I'm into the Benjamins.

Are there any recent games out there that don't actually involve fighting? I know it's a strange concept, but it HAS been done in the past. I'm primarily interested in games that involve harvesting resources, building stuff, shipping it elsewhere and making a profit. Some games that I've liked in the past:

Railroad/Transport Tycoon

City Life

Sim City

Startopia

Anno 1701

Transport/Industry Giant (these were actually pretty lame)

Is there anything more recent that I might like? Thanks for any help.
