#47 Transport tycoon played on PC, released 1994
It was a close tie with rollercoaster tycoon but transport tycoon wins a spot on my top 50. Never after playing this have I played a tycoon game of similar scope. You play on a huge map with multiple cities and villages, starting out with a couple of busses and trucks, slowly making your way up to building your own roads, railways, altering terrain, digging canals for shipping lanes and constructing huge airport hubs. Cities grow, industries and resources appear and disappear over time. One play through will last you for a week going over a period from 1930 until 2050. Very addictive, and it still has an active community in OpenTTD
