- Release Notes: Update for Railroad Tycoon Deluxe to version 1.01
-
- Bug Fixes:
-
- 1) Save game files are now fixed. The bug did not show up in
- our QA process. For those of you who are versed in programming
- we forgot a parameter in a create call. Since the create call
- was using a return address to fill in the blank it would only
- fail if your machine config was just right. Or wrong in this
- case. (I took time to explain this because someone out there
- was pretty vocal about how we could miss this. Well now you
- know.)
-
- 2) Center Key now works 'C'.
-
- 3) Roland sound bug fix for 486 33MHz and above.

- History:
- I thought some of you would like to know how we came to publish
- Railroad Tycoon Deluxe. Our Japanese development group released
- Railroad Tycoon in November of 1991. The game was a direct port to
- the NEC 9801 from the IBM. Our Japanese customers looked at the EGA
- graphics and said "Uggh!" or the Japanese equivalent. This motivated
- us to rework the graphics system for a 640x400 16 color graphics
- mode, (NEC Format.)
-
- In the process of reworking the graphics, we decided to add new
- theaters and trains. After we released the Japanese version of the
- game we were asked if we could release this product for the US/UK.
- Because of the interest we had on the BBS's we decided to include it
- in our Spring 1993 release.
-
- We have concentrated on new worlds and economies and a sound and art
- upgrade. I have read your posts. Please continue sending us your
- comments and suggestions. Understanding what you are looking for
- will help us include appropriate suggestions in future products.

- Thank You for purchasing
