This was that classic tycoon game, where I've started this superb (tycoon) genre...
Here is my case: I've played countless hours with this one, every moment of the Transport Tycoon game was fun, but I just can't describe it. Let me try, so perhaps you just need to use good strategies as building around your 'world', and expanding out your transport, traffic, make trains, cars, boats, planes, helicopters to do their jobs. Any true tycoon fan should at least give this game a try if they didn't know about it.
+ If you can't make this run, then you have a chance to try out the open-source game called 'OpenTTD' (I guess this goes for: "Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe"), which is even better and offer even more features (building upon this popular game with a nice community)...! Also I recommend that game for anyone who looks further into this game.
