Precisely.
Railroad Tycoon (the original) is a perfect example. The routing, signalling, and economy model are arguably superior, despite rocking MCGA graphics that look awful compared to any of its successors (all of which got progressively worse at actually modelling a railroad - imagine no longer having to consider tunnels! or signals!)
