Similarly, whole industries are also put up for auction amongst players. This gives the player a ten-year exclusive use of that technology. Gameplay changes from previous editions of "Railroad Tycoon" include a system where new technology is first auctioned to the highest bidder. The game is heavily focused on economics – players have to build and sustain entire industries using the railroads they develop. The terrain is also more compressed in this game there are few areas where players are allowed a long, straight run of track, meaning that parts, such as hills, mountains, rivers, and inlets, play a much more important role in the game. "Railroads!" is fully three-dimensional and geared more toward head to head real time strategy than the previous versions. After a visit to Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, Germany, Sid Meier was inspired to reinvent his original creation. Although Sid Meier created the original "Railroad Tycoon", subsequent versions were developed by PopTop Software. "Sid Meier's Railroads!" is a business simulation game developed by Sid Meier on the Gamebryo game engine that was released in October 2006 and is the sequel to "Railroad Tycoon 3".
