Remember Rollercoaster Tycoon I? Microprose's last great game before they were bought out by Infogrames. Then other companies started making the tycoon games, and the quality went down. I remember a time, when I used to sit at my pentium 120, in the early 90s, and play Railroad tycoon. I kept playing it till last year. I also had the deluxe version, Civilisation, Colonisation and many other great games made by Sid Meier, Bruce Shelley and Max 'Maximum' Remington. Then many years and games Micropose was brought by Infogrames, and Monopoly tycoon was average. Sid Meier's Simgolf was quite good. But nothing great. Then others started making tycoon games. In fury, I sacraficed my pet Marmot, Brian, in honour. Oil tycoon was great, but others failed. Railroad Tycoon was made 'under supervision' of Maximum, Shelly and Meier. The great men of MPS labs were now lower. Sid Meier and Microprose are no longer together- a perfect pairing are gone. If Microprose had not been sold......

RIP.
