   ackkk!  It is 4am in the morning and I just got done with a session of
Railroad Tycoon..   I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!!!  although when I declared
bankruptcy to be sneaky and write of 1 mil of the 2 mil I owed, I found that
I could not lay track.. Ok fine, read the manual.. I did and it said I have
to pay the bonds before I can do anything.. Ok, spent about 2 hours getting
a cool million from about -270,000$.  Went to the broker with my cash and
guess what, the fool wouldn't let me pay!  (the menu Item was greyed!) ack,
there when a good game down the tubes.
  Anyone have anyhints about that?
 Anyway, Egghead software 39.99.  Great game
   THANK YOU MICROPROSE AND SID MEIER!!!

ALSO, MICROPROSE GAMES I have found are the highest quality games for the
mac around... (and no I am not related to microprose).  But if you doubt,
go buy PIRATES! and RAILROAD TYCOON and you will see.
  
 And yes, it does run on the plus with 2 megs.  run it without multi finder as
it runs faster.. but it does run under multi finder as far as I can see.
C'ya all, and good nite!
