Transport Tycoon Deluxe war Mitte der 90er eines der ersten Tycoon-Spiele, in denen der Spieler seine eigene Transportfirma gründet und mit Bussen, LKWs, Zügen, Schiffen und Flugzeugen sein Geld verdienen muss. Das Open-Source-Projekt OpenTTD macht es möglich, Transport Tycoon als Klon auch auf einem Linux-Rechner zu spielen. Gegenüber dem Original wurden viele Bereiche des Spiels verbessert und erweitert. Die Bedienoberfläche ist an vielen Stellen intuitiver und komfortabler geworden. So gehören beliebig vergrößerbare und anheftbare Fenster, sortierbare Listen, Zusatzansichten oder ausführliche Informationsdialoge zu den auffälligsten Verbesserungen. Für das Spielgefühl hat sich auch einiges getan.

Release Notes

Breaking news: OpenTTD 13.0 is now available! Depending on your perspective, we’re either two months early for our usual April 1st release, or a bit tardy for the Christmas 2022 release we intended.

We think the wait has been worth it. This is one of the largest releases we’ve done in several years, with numerous features and improvements covering the user interface, gameplay features, and modding extensions for NewGRF and Game Script creators.

Some of the highlights are:

    Variable interface scaling at whatever size you want (not just 2x and 4x), with optional chunky bevels for that retro feel. This includes better automatic scaling when using HiDPI or mixed DPI setups.
    Direct access to NewGRF/AI/GS settings from the new game window.
    Various small tweaks and improvements to several windows.
    NewGRFs can now provide engine variants that are shown hierarchically in the purchase list.
    Multi-track level crossings to keep road vehicles from stopping in the middle of the crossing.
    Custom league tables for GameScripts.
    More natural rivers which get wider as they flow downstream.
    And much more, which can be seen in the changelog or the previous release announcements!

In addition to these features and improvements, we’ve fixed lots of bugs. (If you played with the RC2 testing release, most were fixed before then. See the changelog for full details.)

Minetest is an infinite-world block sandbox game and a game engine, inspired by InfiniMiner, Minecraft and the like.

It is designed to be simple, stable and portable. It is lightweight enough to run on fairly old hardware.

Minetest allows you to walk around, dig and build in an infinite voxel world, and craft stuff from raw materials, it includes a simplistic Modding API that supports many kinds of additions and modifications to the game. There is multiplayer support via servers hosted by other users as well as support for multiple languages, translated by the users within the community.
