About
The year is 1950, and you’ve been loaned £100,000 to become the ultimate Transport Tycoon. With only 100 years to accomplish your business goals, you must build your transportation empire using trains, ships, trucks, planes, and helicopters. As your operation grows, you can leverage technological advances to move more passengers and cargo, while you fend off rivals.
Created by Chris Sawyer in 1995, Transport Tycoon Deluxe expanded on the popular Transport Tycoon with new landscapes, weather, vehicles and scenarios on an updated timeline. Matched against a batch of ruthless rivals, you’ll have to act quickly to monopolize the key routes that rake in the most cash. Build roads, rails, stations, airports, docks, and more to develop the most efficient and profitable transit system to grow your business and become a true Tycoon.
Choose from one of four vast game worlds made up of numerous small towns and raw material resources. Your network of transport services must connect these areas and turn your transit system into a thriving business, while the game randomly generates a limitless number of scenarios that impact your enterprise. You can also create your own game scenarios using the world editor.
You’ll use your routes to move passengers, mail, and goods to their most lucrative destination. As the years roll by you’ll have the chance to buy more advanced vehicles and vessels if you can afford them. You’ll deal with town councils that express varying attitudes to your projects, and cope with disasters such as mine collapses and equipment malfunctions. You can even take over other companies and fund industries, which will bring increased profits for your transportation network.

Ignore the children, I remember buying Transport Tycoon on CD in the 90s. This is a solid re-release of that ancient game and I love that it's getting the attention it so deserves. Separately, there's an incredible open source re-implementation of Transport Tycoon Deluxe called OpenTTD. You should play it! They have improved so much since 1994! Atari was extremely decent to the team that's maintaining OpenTTD. The OpenTTD people love this game and you should too. If you don't wanna give Atari your money you can go download OpenTTD for free! You can also get it on steam bundled with this lovely re-release. This is probably the best example of game preservation we've ever had and IMO we should celebrate it.
Old school game, without all the "Quality of Life" changes other versions have -- most of which are the results of cry-babies wanting an 'easy' button. Currently, immature lames are flooding the reviews and forums with negativity...whining and stamping their feet because OpenTTD can be downloaded for free IF you buy this game...in the past you could download OpenTTD without buying TTD on Steam. Vast majority of the pathetic fools leaving negative reviews for this game, and whining & crying on the forums, ALREADY HAVE OPENTTD, so the new requirement does not affect them in the least. If you do not want to buy this game, then don't. You can still download and play OpenTTD for free by going to their website and downloading/installing the game...then simply add it to your Steam library. This game, Transport Tycoon Deluxe, plays just fine on modern computers (I have Windows 11). It does not require any extra fiddling with compatibility modes or editing files, etc. -- buy it, download/install it, and it runs just fine out of the box. Nothing bad about the game...enough said.
It's a reasonably well preserved version of the original TTD, nice to have.
Sporo tu negatywnych ocen (zasadniczo domyślam się dlaczego) - niemniej moja będzie pozytywna. Od dzieciństwa Transport Tycoon Deluxe to moja ulubiona strategia. W Polsce w latach 90 XX źródła oprogramowania - z reguły były dalekie od "oficjalnych" Chętnie po latach kupiłem ten tytuł (nawet podwójnie- na GOG również). Backup instalatora na jakieś fajnego Pendrive wleci :). Nie żałuję żadnej z wydanych wydanych złotówek, ani odpalenia oryginału TTD po latach :) Tu widać wielkość OpenTTD (gram od wersji 0.4.8) progres w stosunku do oryginału ogromny. Mała uwaga - nadal gram na oryginalnych grafikach TTD - tak lubię najbardziej.
Don't make OpenTTD paid for the sake of this mid version
This is the original TTD. No annoying "quality of life" bs. Just the original, enjoy.
You can argue about the pricetag all you want for a game of this vintage, but I think it is great that there now is a legitimate way to get the original datafiles to use with OpenTTD if you lost your CD or floppydiscs many years ago, as well as a good enough emulator for playing the original game as it was left if you wish. Kudos for working together with the OpenTTD team to make importing the graphics packs even simpler, hope this works for the music too. A tremendous amount of effort has been put into improving an upgrading the base game for 20 odd years by the OpenTTD developers, and it is much better that you guys work together about this to keep the trains, planes, and trucks moving cargo. Remember: OpenTTD is still available from their website at any time if you want to continue playing the opensource version like always.
Atari is actually being reasonable with OpenTTD all the haters are out of line. I wish Atari was friendly like this always, it would be good for everyone.
I've owned this game since it was originally released, I still have the original CD. This is a very fun and relaxing transportation systems management game that you can make as simple or complex as you like, great for expressing your creativity. However, if you are looking for the latest graphics, you'll be disappointed...the magic of this game is in the gameplay, not the graphics. Regarding the Atari controversy...I purchased this on Steam ftom Atari for convenience (over a CD) and to support Atari. Regardless of who owns Atari, they have brought the brand back to life, re-releasing the original arcade games and consoles/cartridges...that is worth supporting. The rights were sold to Atari by Chris Sawyer, the genius who designed this and many other great games. The free version, Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe (OTTD), was removed from Steam as part of the purchase, however, it is still available on the OTTD website for FREE!
[h1]Score - 8/10 (Recommended)[/h1] [i]Transport Tycoon Deluxe[/i] suffers from many curious idiosyncrasies, pathing issues and a ridiculous amount of micromanagement, especially in the late-game, but its simplicity, cute SVGA pixelart and jazzy soundtrack by John Broomhall are what made it such a hit back in the 90s and still an addictive and worthwhile game to play today.
