In the original Transport Tycoon (but not OpenTTD), if you would build a tunnel from one end of the map to the other, the amout of money to pay gets so large that it triggers a (signed) integer overflow. So you can start your campaign with billions of dollars!
I have posted this before, but I’ve been working on a wrapper for OpenTTD to turn it from a game to a (slightly!) more serious system for research/experimentation, especially using its AI system: https://github.com/michalc/OpenTTDLab

This is really interesting. Submit it as a Show HN.

I hosted a multi-player server for my friends and it was a blast. The Docker image makes it so easy: https://github.com/bateau84/openttd
https://github.com/bwachter/ttd_addons/blob/master/ttdconsol... is another example of progress - if I remember correctly at the time I did this inotify was in development outside the kernel tree. Nowadays solving this would be trivial with inotify on Linux - and other UNIX variants also mostly gained some form of file monitoring API.
When I discovered OpenTTD as an adult, I was absolutely thrilled.
I sunk god knows how many hours into it. And it even builds and runs on ppc64le!

The original TTD was super stable though. I remember once I was able to crash it by building a very tight loop for a train, that it crashed with its own tail. This was the only time I saw the red font with debugging info.
