The Mercury Theatre on the Air

The finest radio drama of the 1930’s was The Mercury Theatre on the Air, a show featuring the acclaimed New York drama company founded by Orson Welles and John Houseman. In its brief run, it featured an impressive array of talents, including Agnes Moorehead, Bernard Herrmann, and George Coulouris. The show is famous for its notorious War of the Worlds broadcast, but the other shows in the series are relatively unknown. This site has many of the surviving shows, and will eventually have all of them.

Sid Meier’s Railroad Tycoon

The MicroProse classic is released as freeware. The 15mb Railroad Tycoon download includes the full game as well as the manual and reference cards.

It is a DOS based game, but they included DOSBox in the installer, so you can run it without problems on your modern system. The old school manual based copy protection is left untouched, so you need to answer a question which can be found in the included manual.
