Right now? Just load up OpenTTD and have a ball.


OpenTTD graphics are just not even remotely comparable. It looked so ugly when I tried it that I couldn't bother to continue for more than 2 minutes. If graphics don't matter then maybe even drop openttd and play a text based graphic game. It will run smooth even on a raspberry pi.


I personally greatly prefer the 2D, handcrafted, pixel art look of games like OpenTTD, SimCity 2000 and Factorio over 3D sim games like CS.


The game is originally from 1994, what do you expect? We didn't even have 3dfx 3d accelerator cards back then. OpenTTD will run smooth on a Pi. It ran smooth on my 486 when it first came out.


I don't expect anything, I am just responding to someone comparing it to cities skylines ii smoothness.


The graphics may be retro but the gameplay is lit. It's one of the most relaxing and satisfying games around.


I'm not a huge gamer, but I did spend 14 hours a day for a week playing this game once. Never been sucked in to a game like this. And even better if you can find the original music and graphics. The music is excellent, and will play in your dreams.

First time I played Transport Tycoon was on my 486, I got a demo of the original game on a floppy disk out of some PC game magazine. Looking back, it's amazing how much game play fit onto a 1.44MB floppy disk. I ended up purchasing the Deluxe version on a CDROM. I ripped the CD and have kept an image of it ever since, which came in handy when I found OpenTTD and wanted to use the original graphics and content. Chris Sawyer and the OpenTTD devs are legendary in my mind.


I was there when Transport Tycoon was new. Think I've had enough of it for now.


OpenTTD is not a city builder.
