Spec me a game

iviv · 1 Apr 2008 at 20:29

I'm currently really into management games, but have run out of new ones to look for. I've been playing Transport Tycoon Deluxe, Settlers 2, Sins of a Solar Empire, Gal Civ 2 and Civ 4 a lot lately.

Can someone reccomend me a good management/stratagy game to add to my collection?

Edit: Current specs: 1.7Ghz, 1Gb ram, Go5650 graphics.

Railroad Tycoon 2 Platinum on Steam for about £3. Easily one of my faves - it's no graphical wonder, but once you get into it, you'll forget all that and be sucked in...

Hearts of Iron 2 collection.

Thanks, but I already own The First Decade, and love all of them. Didn't like the C&C3 demo though, so never bought it.

I've often heard about the Railroad Tycoon series, but never actually played them. I'm guessing its similar to the gameplay of Transport Tycoon, just purely focusing on trains?

Again, I've heard of this, but not much else. Its by the people who did Europa Universalis, isn't it? I own EU2 and 3, is it similar to those?

Also, I'm only on a 1.7Ghz 1Gb ram, go5650 graphics, so nothing too new or strenuous please

well, trains, yes, but things get more complicated as you add in company finance, and the stock market... Really brilliant. And for £3 quid, it's certainly not going to make a dent in your bank account

id give the sim city games a try and rollar coaster tycoon. or theme hospital (that is just pure fun)

I've got (and loved) both Theme Park and Hospital, and a couple of days ago picked up Startopia for £cheap which I'm pleased with, and I'm slowly working my way through the missions on there. Anyone know a good place to pick up some fan-made missions?

For the Sim City series, I have SC2000, but none of the others, though this is because I often here that 2k is the best one?
