Quite a tough challenge!
I've started playing TT again for the first time in well over 5 years, though I'd never played the Deluxe edition. I only got as far as $45 million in 1979. But most cities didn't do well, at least compared to my experiences in the past. I'll really have to try it again
I wonder whether it would be better to play on average instead of easy. I've bought up a few competitors so far, and I spend ages improving their absolutely ridiculous idea of track building :angry:
Edit: not that hard after all unless one wants to set the record, I continued the same game and ended up with over $100 million around '92.
