A clone of Transport Tycoon Deluxe
Launched in 1995 Transport Tycoon Deluxe is a classic economic simulation, where you aim to make it big by building and developing your own transport company. Grow your own transportation network and sell off goods to beat your main rivals and become the leader on the market.
Nostalgic fans of the game will be glad to discover OpenTTD, effectively a completely free version of the game. What's more it has been completely revamped. Graphics have been slightly improved, adding more color, and many new features are now included. The Euro is now part of currencies, you can bribe town authorities and set up international and metropolitan airports among others. Usability is also better, with new features like the autorail build tool or being able to get a cost estimation. You can even play online with up to 8 other players.
In all, anybody who's even the least bit interested in games should get their hands on this free version of an excellent classic simulation title.

This review needs to be updated. .
OpenTTD has not required the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe files for nearly two years. Since version 0.7.0, the game will now prompt you to download freely-available graphics (OpenGFX), sound (OpenSFX) and music files (OpenMSX, among others), or install them from another area. If you have your original TTD installation CD, you can still install those either during OpenTTD's set-up, or by following directions in the manual. Since version 1.2.0, users now have the options of using stunning 32bpp graphics. A new freely-available base graphics set (zBase) is in development, and several NewGRF add-on graphical building & vehicle sets are adding more 32bpp graphics. The program runs on every version of Windows since Windows 95, many versions of Linux and BSD, MacOS X (although not very well, still seeking a developer to fix some major issues unique to the platform) and has been independently ported by fans to Apple iOS, Android, WiiBrew, and online.
Pros:
Distributed for many OSes, and can be compiled and ported to many more Free and open source software allows individuals to easily modify and run software
Cons:
Game is looking for a MacOS developer
Game controls difficult to use on small handheld devices or with some touch screen interfaces (phones, tablets, etc) More
