About this game

In Transport Tycoon , the player is in charge of a transport company starting in 1930 in the midst of The Great Depression, and the aim is to build up an empire of trains, ships, lorries, planes and helicopters, with technological evolution gradually taking place and allowing for better vehicles to be used.

The game can be played alone, or with a number of computer-controlled rivals.

At the beginning of the game, a large terrain is generated.

It is shown in isometric projection and includes hills, rivers, lakes, bridges, industrial facilities and a lot of small towns.

It is up to the player to decide how to start building a transport empire.

All transport connections involve linking towns and/or factories, constructing vehicle depots and purchasing vehicles.

For example, a common starting move includes connecting two towns with a road, building a vehicle depot somewhere next to the road, and setting up bus stops in both towns.

Then, a bus needs to be purchased, its schedule set, and ordered to start.

As it goes between both bus stops, taking passengers and unloading them, it earns its owner money.

Train networks are built similarly, but require individual locomotives and appropriate wagon types to be assigned to each train.

Most businesses offer certain types of cargo and are ready to pay for transporting other cargo to them; for example, a steel mill has a lot of steel to fill entire wagons, and will gladly accept iron ore any is available.

Landscaping tools are also available, best used for clearing terrain for new roads or tracks, or for creating canals for ships to pass through.

Some buildings like airports require large sections of flat land.

Clicking on any vehicle brings up a small window where a live feed of what the vehicle is doing can be observed and its status is shown.

If anything important happens during the game (such as a particular station accepting its first vehicle), it is shown as a newspaper headline at the bottom of the screen.

About PlayStation

The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.

Gamevaro tracks Transport Tycoon for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Transport Tycoon to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1994.

Rarity & condition

Transport Tycoon has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
