The game asks the user a question, which can only be answered by checking the physical manual. This was common back when Microprose first released Railroad Tycoon. Railroad Tycoon Deluxe utilizes a manual-based copy protection system. Also visit VOGONS () for discussion on getting older games to run on modern systems. For information on the various options, visit the DOSBox web site. To do that, edit the nf file in the DOSBox folder of your installation directory. Note that because we have included a full DOSBox installation, you can also modify the settings however you like. If you notice performance issues (such as the game running too fast or too slow) you can throttle the emulated speed by hitting CTRL+F12 to speed it up, or CTRL+F11 to slow it down. To get external control of the mouse back, you can either ALT+TAB to a different window, or hit CTRL+F10. Note that when playing in Windowed mode, DOSBox will lock the mouse to its window. You can also hit ALT+Enter while in-game to switch between the two. For the best overall compatibility, run it in windowed mode. Railroad Tycoon is a very old game, and running it in full screen mode may cause visual artifacts or glitches depending on your computer's resolution (this is particularly likely on LCD monitors).

When you install Railroad Tycoon using the included installer, it will create two shortcut files on your start menu: one for full screen and one for windowed mode. This is an unmodified installation, and the source code can be downloaded on the DOSBox site (URL above, or in the "Web links" folder on your start menu). For issues related to DOSBox please contact the DOSBox team, or use the support pages at. DOSBox is an open source project and is not supported by 2K Games or Take-Two Interactive. For this release we have included DOSBox, a DOS emulator to maximize compatibility. See the v1.11 changelog for more.Railroad Tycoon Deluxe is a DOS based game. Version 1.11 boosts performance, improves the Mac version, and generally fixes and tweaks lots of things.

So yep, just download and play - though you can import the original art from TTD if you have it.Īlongside the Steam launch, the devs have released a new update. OpenTTD did originally require a copy of Transport Tycoon Deluxe to import its art and sound, but the project now has its own non-copyrighted alternatives. You can download OpenTTD free from Steam for Windows, Mac, and Linux. While the official word is that "OpenTTD is not an abbreviation of anything", the Steam page is quite open that it "is an open-source remake and expansion of the 1995 Chris Sawyer video game Transport Tycoon Deluxe." I guess that lingustic shrug is sufficient to avoid the ire of lawyers? As well as supporting modern systems, OpenTTD improves upon the original with larger maps, more building options, expanded multiplayer, and loads of handy new features and quality-of-life improvements.
