What's on the table:
Railroad Tycoon 2
Railroad Tycoon 3
Sid Meier's Railroads
X-COM: UFO Defense
Terror from the Deep
Apocalypse
Interceptor
Enforcer
Freedom Force
Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich
Sid Meier's Pirates! (a remake from the 2005)

I have a question - which RR Tycoon would You recommend? 2nd (Platinum Version) or 3rd ?

RT2 over RT3 for gameplay, but RT3 over RT2 for looks and interface (rail building). If they are cheap get and play both.  O0
Rocket Scientist by day, Game Designer by night.

They are - both games for 8 bucks, so I think I will heed Your advice  :2funny:

Personally I agree except for "RT3 over RT2 for looks and interface"--I'd say Railroad Tycoon 3 over Railroad Tycoon II for tunnels.

I bought RT2, RT3, & Railroads! (all 3 again for $8.77!) from GOG.com in order to get the DRM-Free versions. I had always preferred RT2 over RT3, but after installing and playing one RT3 scenario I found that I enjoyed it more now than I did when it was released in 2003.

I also repurchased the X-COM series for $7.45 to get the DRM-Free versions of the games. I have only installed X-COM: UFO Defense so far and was disappointed to find that its gameplay bogs down on my Windows 7 machine.
