Just for the record, I did a search on Google for "sid meier´s railroad tycoon dosbox" and came up with 266 hits.

Shall be interesting to see if/how many more reference Google will find after say 30 days.

hmm some flash version that isn't available under linux. 🙁

Great news though.

Here is the download link:
http://www.3ddownloads.com/Strategy/Railroad% … road_Tycoon.zip
However, the ZIP package contains an installer that only works on Windows.
Linux- and x86-Mac-users can probably get around that via Wine, but on a PPC-Mac the installer is quite useless.
I have tried unzip, unrar, unarj, cabextract and unshield - none of which could extract the files. 🙁

The installer from Nullsoft (V2.21 according to the strapline on the installer) and as far as I'm aware there are no up to date unpackers available.

http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/IETotal.html references Nullsoft V1.1o onwards but was last updated Dec 2004 so maybe is out of date?

i heard somewhere that 7zip could extract them.

Spot on 😀 Just installed 7zip and unpacked the EXE with no issues. Ta for the heads up!

Which version of 7zip did you use (with download link, if possible)?

Both EZ7z and p7zip for Mac OS X complain that the archive is unsupported. 🙁

V4.42 for Windows x86 as provided by the frontpage - http://www.7-zip.org/
