Chris Sawyer's Locomotion is a strategy game from Chris Sawyer and Atari, and is a spiritual successor to Transport Tycoon. You play as transport company entrepreneur and must build railroads, truck lines, bus lines, airlines, and freighters, and attempt to make your business successful. The game features 40 scenarios taking place in multiple nations and covering every period of the 20th century, a scenario editor, and a multiplayer mode.
OpenTTD is a clone of the Microprose game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe", a popular game originally written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it. It can be downloaded at www.openttd.org
Just as Railroad Tycoon II, the game contains a campaign with several scenarios, presented by continent - North America, Europe and the World. The campaign interface is an interior of a railway museum, with the voice of the elderly eccentric museum guide from RT2.
Game's interface is in full 3D, with free camera movement. The square grid is no longer rigid, as it was in Railroad Tycoon and Railroad Tycoon 2 - rail and structures can now be rotated 360 degrees.The track building function is not very realistic, as tracks are sometimes built at angles almost at 90 degrees to each other.
