If you have windows xp you can run games like that in compatability mode.

Using Program Compatibility Mode

Yup. That was one of theirs. It was buggy, but absolutely open-ended.

They also did some mediocre adventure stuff like "Return of the Phantom" (during the big "Phantom of the Opera" tour years).

Age of Wonders 2:Shadow Magic is about as close to MoM as you'll find today. I'm playing it these days and I'm loving the campaign.

Railroad Tycoon is one of the best games ever.

Red Storm Rising is along side it.

With an old computer setup, I still play the original Railroad Tycoon sometimes. What a game!
