Transport Tycoon Deluxe is a fantasic old game, where you take control of a company and build a transport company up from the ground, utilizing Air, Land and Sea to transport people and cargo to fictional towns and industries.
I lost many hours to this game, and am glad to see it's still got a strong following.

OpenTTD (http://www.openttd.org/en/) has brought Transport Tycoon Deluxe to today's audience, and improved a LOT of things over the original. Among the biggest changes are the larger maps (their own site claims 64 times larger than the original maps) and much improved multiplayer, plus a myriad of small changes to improve general gameplay.

And after 6 years of development (yes, 6 years!) OpenTTD has hit 1.0.

So for anyone that use to play this game, I urge you to support it. And for anyone that missed out on the original, here's your chance to get in on it.

Sold! I'll have a look at this over the next couple of days and see how it grabs me. :)

Sold?

But it's free lol

The game can run on the original TTD graphics if you have the CD-ROM of the game, or you can download free-graphics to work in conjunction (though I've not tried this so I'm not sure how good they are)

OpenTTD itself is free too, so technically you could play it completely free, or buy the original TTD and set it up through that.
