Charming old-school graphics, seems to have a fairly active community, constantly updated, now at v112.3, don't know if portable.

Cool, didn't even know this existed... 8)

The current website link points to the 128 bit 'pakset' page, Simutrans main site is at http://www.simutrans.com/en/.

BTW, for a simpler multi-platform portable OSS alternative, check out OpenTTD:

This entry needed a desperate clean-up and update. I've replaced the pak128 download link with the actual game and added a note about the graphics paks. The rest of the entry has been updated appropriately.

It was terribly slow on my hyperthreaded machine. Nothing terribly exciting. And yes, it does leave traces. My Revo Uninstaller found and removed them. Glad I didn't try it at work.

donald on 2010-06-27 04:29

Please note version 1.10 is now up.
