Oh, nevermind, Sim City 2000 actually came out in 1993.

Ok, maybe not an iteration then. But Sawyer drew inspiration from Raiload Tycoon and wanted an isometric version. Then it was natural marketing to publish Transport Tycoon with MicroProse. source: https://www.filfre.net/2020/10/transport-tycoon/

Sid Meier and Will Wright (Sim City) had the system simulators in 2D, and I wonder whether Sawyer influenced them with the isometric world from Transport Tycoon.

Should be noted that it is an iteration of Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon, released 4 years prior.
Will there be an open-source edition?
Can Memgraph be used as an embedded database similar to SQLite?

Can anyone share their production experience with Dgraph?
