Initial 1st Post:




OpenTTD
OpenTTD is an open source game engine for the Chris Sawyer game Transport Tycoon Deluxe.

Yes, it's TTD, and it's alive and well. Open-source development since 2004, and currently updating daily through the nightly builds. With more and more features being added, it's no wonder why there's still so many TTD addicts.

OTTD takes a bunch of changes, from TTDPatch, and it's own community ideas, turning it into the one of the best business tycoon game on the net.

Best of all, it's free. All you need to have is the old TTD files, the graphics(GRFs) and the game music(GM, optional).

You can get the old Windows version here, from abandonia!
And get the latest STABLE version of OTTD here!

Installation is fairly simple. When running OpenTTD 6.2 install, when it prompts for "Copy Graphic Files", un-check it. Get the windows(or DOS) version of the game, and copy all .grf files over to OpenTTD/Data. That is all. Additionally, if you want music, you can copy the folder "GM" too. Addictive stuff.

This game resemble the similarities of Simutrans. Anyway, good find there. Downloading to try... oh i am happy to see an OSX flavor soon

looks like it needs transport tycoon deluxe game installed

You can get it off the internet if you looked hard enough. It's probably illegal so I won't post any links.

I love this game very much~ i play this game since i was small, till now i still playing it,haha.. TT got abit differents with TTD, but still is a nice game..

i just found it. i think its OK to post becuase it is an abandonware


mods, if this illegal just delete it

Heh, when you guys wanna have a session together?

@ onscreen: IINM, Simutrans is a remake of TTD.

@ grif: Yes, it's amazing to see that people play this. But I've only started this game like weeks ago. Most of my time early on was spent on looking at people's track designs online.

So I'm wondering if we can get a small community here to play together. Finding an online game isn't too hard, but I just wanna know how the locals here play

And yes, I think TTD, the old one has became a freeware/abandoned.

Installation is fairly simple. When running OpenTTD 6.2 install, when it prompts for "Copy Graphic Files", un-check it. Get the windows(or DOS) version of the game, and copy all .grf files over to OpenTTD/Data. That is all. Additionally, if you want music, you can copy the folder "GM" too. Addictive stuff.

And regarding multiplayer, I believe it's not cross-platform. I tried hosting through Windows and clients from Ubuntu. It doesn't work

We'll get a game up soon when a few more people has joined the crew LRT/KTM anyone?

Even if you are bored with the old trains and scenario, there are NewGRF's to download, similar to expansion packs, which include trams, real trains from 1890(!), more industries(brick factory, clay, gravel), and much more

how to play this game

For all the transport options, only rail and planes are actually worth building. (Roads only for short-haul routes, eg. to distribute Food to nearby towns).

The rest is like eye-candy.

didnt know you Medic do you play the scenario? the first one

Scenario, nah. Just jumped straight to the sandbox mode. Kinda trial-and-error process.

wow.. i once made a map scenario of West Malaysia some time ago, but using the old ttd.. the scenario is accidentally deleted due to virus..

this seems like fun..does this game runs on vista?

i think yes. just download OpenTTD and a copy of TTD on my post earlier. follow the sihumchai instruction to install
