Transport Tycoon

The game was released for the PC in 1994. It was developed by Chris Sawyer and programmed in X86 assembler. It was one of the first games of the relatively new "tycoon" genre - simulations of business empires that the player founded, expanded and took full control over. In Transport Tycoon, the player ran his transportation empire from 1930 to 2030, using rail, road, sea and air transportation to support the expansion of his business. New technologies are introduced at historically accurate times, and players can experience firsthand how advances change the way their companies are run.
