OpenTTD
OpenTTD is a reimplementation of the Microprose game
"Transport Tycoon Deluxe" with lots of new features and enhancements.
The
first Transport Tycoon (TT) game was released in 1994, with the release
of Transport Tycoon Deluxe (TTD) following the next year.
You play the role of president of a start-up transport company
in 1950, building railway, road, air and maritime transportation
systems for
commodities and people. The goal of the game is to outsmart your
competition and become the game's highest-ranking transport company by
the year 2050.
There are many tools available to build transport routes,
including ability to fully modify the landscape. Each town has a Local
Authority which tries to prevent the player from excessive
terraforming.
The data files of the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe for
Windows/DOS are
mandatory to play the game.
