===Strategy simulation=== Railroad-themed strategy simulation video games are focused mostly on the economic part of the railroad industry rather than on technical detail. The ''[[A-Train]]'' series (1985 to present) is an early example. [[Chris Sawyer]]'s ''[[Transport Tycoon]]'' (1994) was an influential game in this genre,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7932414.stm|work=BBC News|title=Inside Games: Creative Assembly|author=Daniel Emery|date=10 March 2009|access-date=2009-11-09}}</ref> spawning remakes such as ''[[Simutrans]]'' (1999 to present), ''[[OpenTTD]]'' (2004 to present) and Sawyer's own ''[[Chris Sawyer's Locomotion|Locomotion]]'' (2004). [[Sid Meier]] designed two railroad simulations: ''[[Railroad Tycoon (video game)|Railroad Tycoon]]'' (1990) and ''[[Sid Meier's Railroads!|Railroads!]]'' (2006). The ''[[Railroad Tycoon]]'' series itself inspired other rail games such as ''[[Rails Across America]]'' (2001).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/railsacrossamerica/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary&tag=summary;read-review|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130124014224/http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/railsacrossamerica/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary&tag=summary;read-review|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 24, 2013|title=Rails Across America Review|author=Scott Osborne|work=GameSpot|date=October 12, 2001|access-date=2009-11-09|quote=While admittedly inspired by the hit Railroad Tycoon series, Rails Across America takes a broader approach to rail empire building and offers some novel, entertaining features.}}</ref>
