Sid Meier's Railroads! demo

By Tom Bramwell Published 27 October, 2006

Includes a training level.

Firaxis has released a playable demo of one of this week's top releases, Sid Meier's Railroads!, giving you the chance to work through a tutorial and then play around in a smallish map that starts off in the town of Towson.

It's been built for two players, apparently, and as you start you're given 50 game-years to complete your objectives (visible by pressing the Victory Screen hotkey - F3 by default), with five trains from the US and Europe to use and new ones added every ten years in-game. The idea is to link Towson to New Freedom and other cities.

Anyway, the whole thing's just 266MB in size, and can be had from 3D Gamers. Look out for our full review of Railroads! in the near future, but in the meantime why not watch Sid Meier talk you through the game on Eurogamer TV, or read our interview with him?

    You'd think Faraxis would be able to host the files themsleves, what with them being a big games developer and all that... but no they farm it out to some 'free' download site... which unless you prepared to go through the rigmarole of regeistering will give you 'Server Limit Reached' errors from now until eternity. I means its half 9 for christs sake. The students are in bed, the yanks are in bed... who on earth is downloading it at this time in the day?

    Idiots.

    But as a Sid M and TTDX fan, i guess i'll be trying this one.

    Who's downloading it? The Aussies! Lots of fun this demo in what is demo overload at the moment, not to mention the Supreme Commander beta...
