About OpenTTD

OpenTTD is an Open-Source Transport Tycoon Clone.  For everyone who isn't a computer expert, that means that it is a game that is like Transport Tycoon (in fact, it uses the same graphics at the moment!) that is developed in the Internet community, where anyone can read the program code used to write it and anyone can add their own bit.

At the time of writing, it has been going for long time but is still in the early stages of development.  That is, it works, but only half of the features have been added yet.  The latest stable release was something like version 0.4.1!

There's not much to say about it really, except that it has a few good features that would never be possible in TTDPatch, like larger and smaller maps than the default (well, they are possible in TTDPatch but it would require rewriting most of the program!) and an extra button in the top bar that speeds the game up (speeding the game up is possible in TTDPatch, but only by using the Keyboard keys).

One important note is that while OpenTTD supports New Graphics, the developers are behind TTDPatch, and at the moment you can only change some vehicles, and popular sets like the DB set won't work.  You have been warned!
