All aboard! This classic management game – a deep tycoon simulator with a truly realistic train set – is back and better than ever on iPhone and iPad. Looking for a game with powerful engines, real-time strategy and clear attention to detail? This is just the ticket.

What we love: There’s more to this nostalgic journey than meets the eye. At first glance, the mechanics seem simple enough; build your railway within the charming 3D landscape and manage your trains to turn a profit. But as competition within the industry hots up, you’ll soon realise that only a carefully considered strategy will beat your rivals.

Quick tip: A serious tycoon will be focused on their turnover, but don’t forget the fundamentals. How you tackle the terrain plays a huge part in the efficiency of your railroad, so factor in obstacles, such as mountains and rivers, when planning your route. Time is money!
