1830: The Game of Railroads and Robber Barons

1830 Railroads and Robber Barons
George "The Fat Man" Sanger and David Govett


I'm a simple kind of guy. I like my music, food, books, and the occasional female interaction, and while I'm sitting in my bar playing a quick hand of poker while waiting for the train to roll on in I says to the Barkeep "Have that playa put on some patriotic music whud'ja?". Before you know it the ol' piano player pulls out his Casio and starts hammering out "This Land"  and "Dixie". That is exactly what 1830 Railroads and Robber Barons is. Cruise the internet for Midi's of America the Beautiful and there you have it. Feelin' like rustling up some old Window 3.1 memories, then pop in Railroads and Robber Barons. The music really isn't that bad, for MIDI standards that is, but the songs are the same tired and true Red, White, and Blues. Not something to keep, but something to download when your son has to give a presentation on the Continental Railroad.


I give it 1 and a half Snidely Whiplashes.
