I have been playing this game for about 20 years, and it just doesn't get old. My .exe got corrupted, and I purchased this for about the 5th time earlier today. This is just a blast, and every bit as good as I remembered. For those that have this steam version...where do I place the dozens, maybe hundreds of excellent maps and scenarios that are out there? This must be an easy fix..these are just the map files. Thanks!

It is excellent and the only criticism I have of it is that it isn't possible to build tunnels. Otherwise it is better than the original game and (in my opinion) Railroad Tycoon 3. Has anyone gotten RRT2 up and running under Windows 7? This war is not about slavery. --Robert E. Lee

I am running on Vista, with zero issues. It is the steam version.

I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations - James Madison

Once you find it, you know where to put the stuff. Examples: Africa After the Flood.MP2 Alaska.MP2 Amaplanca.MP2 America After the Flood.MP2 Antarctica.MP2 Atlantis.MP2 Aurendia.MP2 Australia.MP2 Austria.MP2 Ben Franklin's Kite.MP2 Black Sea Basin.MP2 Blimper.MP2

There are 460 separate maps available for download. I picked through the ones I liked for Africa, Antarctica, Asia, and Austrailia. I downloaded about 20 maps, out of the 54 or so available, for these areas. I haven't even started looking at the European, or American maps. Many maps are just that, maps, with no scenario or events attached. You will need to read the information as you select each one, to parse out the ones that are not playable. I discovered the correct location place the maps, at least for Vista, and I fired the game up to make sure. Yup, all there, and playable.

It will start and run a few minutes but crashes to desktop every try (tried 3 times). Fortunately I have two XP systems, netbook and desktop so not a total loss. I already had the hard disc for them though and just wanted a copy that would run on Vista 64. One of the few games I've encountered that won't run or run well on it. Someone needs to make a DosWinXP/98 mod now.
