We’ve touched on what’s special about the Transport Tycoon games, but it’s important to know just how deep the rabbit hole goes before diving into this one. Transport Tycoon had such a lasting appeal that it remains active to this day, as a fan-developed open-source project called OpenTTD. Though it came in the wake of the original Railroad Tycoon, this one took the gameplay to a micro level where sophisticated managers could tinker to their heart’s content. Instead of laying out cities or buildings, Transport Tycoon saw the player developing and managing complex networks of trains, buses, trucks, and other vehicles between cities on an open map. The legendary Chris Sawyer may be best known for the Rollercoaster Tycoon games but before that, he made a name for himself with Transport Tycoon. Simulation games experienced a renaissance of sorts in the 1990s, owing to the rise of the Sim series with SimCity, gems like Theme Hospital, and of course the boom of tycoon games.
