Transport Tycoon is an enhanced version of the classic Railroad Tycoon. You are in charge of a transport company starting in 1930 in the midst of The Great Depression, and your aim is to build up an empire of trains, ships, lorries, planes and helicopters, with technological evolution to be taken into account. The terrain is in real 3D, with hills and bridges taking effect. The things you can transport and earn money with range from passengers to oil right up to jewelery. The game contains MIDI music.

Trivia

Transport Tycoon was originally named "I.T.S.", which is short for "Interactive Transport Simulation". It was only because the game went to Microprose that it became a "Tycoon" game, to tie in with their own "Railroad Tycoon".
