Did anyone used to play this on the old Windows 95/98 ?

Its one of the very few PC games I used to like playing - but never really worked on W2000 onwards. However - a new Open Source (clone) version which replicates the original is now available. It has a few new added bits as well - its called OpenTTD.

I used to love TTD, and I did have a peek at open TTD a few years back, might have to take another look at it.

Installation instructions for OS X:

On Mac OS X:
Quite simple, only a few steps:
Obtain a copy of Transport Tycoon Deluxe for Windows or DOS.
Get the OSX installer for OpenTTD from the downloads page.
Mount the downloaded image and copy OpenTTD into a folder of your choice, i.e. /Applications/OpenTTD/ (it is recommended that it's empty as OpenTTD will add files to it).
Make a folder called "data" in the folder you placed OpenTTD and move the .grf files and sample.cat into it from your copy of TTD.
[optional] Also make a "gm" folder, and copy the .gm files across into it for all the cheesy midi goodness.*
Run OpenTTD!

I love this game, you can play online too but it gets a bit unrealistic. I tend to try and open up a game with lots of towns and make it my own objective that they all get public transport, how sad.
