2022.02.19_Open TTD - Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe


Open TTD is the successful successor of the great classic Transport Tycoon Deluxe by Chris Sawyer. It enhance and extends the original game in every possible way, in my opinion, giving you the best Transport Tycoon game so far.

The game puts you in the position of a transport company owner, trying to achieve hegemony in transportation by rail, truck, ship and air. Earn as much money as possible transporting passengers, goods, raw materials and even bank assets across cities, resource production sites and industries.

Good documentation about the game can be found on the official site, like for example this signals tutorial (https://www.openttd.org/news/2021/11/06/explaining-signals-ui-change), and across the net even video tutorials, with a bit of research.
