ABOUT THE GAME

Transport Tycoon is a business simulation game designed and programmed by Chris Sawyer for MS-DOS. It was published by MicroProse in November 1994. Using an isometric 2D view with graphics by Simon Foster, the player acts as a transport company owner, who competes against rival companies to make as much profit as possible by transporting passengers and various goods by road, rail, sea, and air. Transport Tycoon Deluxe is an expanded and improved version of the original game, released in 1995. A version for Android and iOS was released on 3 October 2013 based on the sequel, Chris Sawyer's Locomotion. Two fan-made game engine recreations, OpenTTD and Simutrans, are also available. In November 2024, Atari SA acquired the intellectual property rights from Chris Sawyer and re-released the Deluxe edition on digital distribution platforms Steam and GOG.com in 2026.
