For me, this is the best game ever created, regardless of genre.

I miss Microprose. The fact that after so many years you can still play their games without feeling the passage of time is a testimony to the quality that they put in their titles. They really put virtual worlds in their boxes and some of them have yet to be matched. And Tycoon Transport Deluxe is the best example... I did try almost every other Tycoon type game, hoping to get the same feeling, but with better graphics. But every time I realized that somehow, I liked the original graphics better (and needless to say, the gameplay). So time and time again, I reinstalled it over the years, just to link all those Coal Mines to the Energy Plants.

I was a kid when I first played it, so I never actually considered it an economic strategy. For me it was all trains and planes (never liked trucks) and trying to develop a city as much as possible (24.000 people in one city was my max). I never played with competitors and probably my favorite times were finding that low pass in the mountains, or changing old tracks for maglev ones. Or seeing those silly futuristic cell buildings and thinking "Yey, soon I'll get the Concorde". Or putting my HQ in the middle of a lake and linking it with the best money can buy bridges.

In fact, all this writing has just convinced me to play another map...
