We are sure that you will have spent several entertaining moments thanks to Transport Tycoon Deluxe or, at least, that you will have heard about this title. Fortunately, we can say that shortly afterward, another one appeared that not only took many of its elements but also improved them to become an unavoidable proposal regarding free strategy and management on computers.

OpenTTD is an open-source remake of a famous game launched on the market in 1995. Thanks to this title, we have to take care of the creation of a transport network between different cities that are part of the map that has been assigned to us, with the consideration at the same time that it is profitable for all parties, allowing us to earn a lot of money.

You have to remember that a traditional OpenTTD game allows us to generate the conditions of transport of all the elements or objects that are necessary, starting in the year 1950 and up to 2050. That means, in other words, that we have a period of approximately 100 years to prove that we are capable of taking care of the rail and other city networks that have been assigned to us.

The ultimate goal of OpenTTD is to achieve the highest possible score. Still, of course, this can only be achieved if we first ensure that the transported items arrive in excellent condition and that the money we earn is as high as possible. For that, we recommend you bet on a fleet of imported vehicles and transfer all the goods you can.

Almost always, those taking their first steps with this game are in charge of creating both roads and truck routes, which, although simpler, do not give too much profit or added value. However, that first money will allow you to start developing other types of commercial routes, both air, and sea, which are the ones that will give you enough money to advance in the game.

As we said before, OpenTTD allows us to move in a century of human evolution; it is more than logical that as we leave behind the first years, technologies will change. We will have the chance to access new methods of transportation. This is fundamental because you will have to invest part of the money that you are storing to have the possibility of always being up to date and exponentially increasing your earnings.

Even concerning Transport Tycoon Deluxe, we can see that several issues have improved substantially, among which it is possible to point out some very specific ones, for example, the addition of aMultiplayer Modepreviously unavailable. In turn, you can access much larger maps than previously known ones, and finally, the ability to download multiple files that the community has uploaded. Then, OpenTTD's interface is another of its distinctive points. You will surely know it if you have played with Transport Tycoon Deluxe before since all its buildings and even the means of transport differentiate it from any other game. As we always say, it's not about judging the definition of the graphics here, but the achievement of a very own spirit, and in that sense, we are absolutely satisfied.

If you want to know the aspects of OpenTTD that we liked the most, you have to think in the first instance that it has a Multiplayer Mode that is not always present in games of this type. In addition, already in direct comparison with the first versions of the title, we can find a good amount of general improvements in terms of graphics, sounds, or features. And to that, we have to add that all the original files of the title are compatible with this improved version.

Of course, we understand that many readers will also want to know which sections have not convinced us, although, for them, we have to say that there are not too many that you can consider. To be clear, OpenTTD fulfills everything it promises and has even improved several issues of the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe, so we have not found substantial elements to mention as negative.

Therefore, in summary, we can say that we recommend downloading OpenTTD to all those users who once had a great time with Transport Tycoon Deluxe, considering that it is an excellent alternative to consider. Our advice is that even if you find yourself playing Transport Tycoon Deluxe right now, you should switch directly to this title, which combines the good things from that one with its new features.
