Assume the role of a tycoon transport systems for people and goods.
In this game, you are presented with a scenario with different populations and industries, and your mission is to assess which ones will yield more for less money and transport the products or passengers to make a profit.


The system adapts the port windows/ menus typical of the franchise, the characteristics of the NDS, for example to select an icon, building or any other action game using the stylus, the mapping is shown on both screens.
Your goal aim is to build a transportation network using trucks, buses, trains, airplanes and boats to link together industries and towns on the map and transport the cargo they produce. Every time a vehicle makes a delivery of some cargo, players receive an income, allowing them to build more infrastructure (rails, stations, etc), build more vehicles, modify the terrain, and interact with towns, via their local authorities.

OpenTTD is a DS port of OpenTTD, an improved version of an open source business simulation game based on Transport Tycoon, created by Chris Sawyer in the 90s.

User guide

In this game, you are presented with a scenario with different populations and industries, and your mission is to assess which ones will yield more for less money and transport the products or passengers to make a profit.

Your goal aim is to build a transportation network using trucks, buses, trains, airplanes and boats to link together industries and towns on the map and transport the cargo they produce. Every time a vehicle makes a delivery of some cargo, players receive an income, allowing them to build more infrastructure (rails, stations, etc), build more vehicles, modify the terrain, and interact with towns, via their local authorities.

Known issues

Random crashes when the game runs out of memory.

Graphical glitches (mostly during scrolling) because the nds blitter needs to be rewritten. Minimap glitches.

The screen resolution is too small making it impossible to click some windows.
