What made OpenTTD a great success that it's playable out of the box. Most open source game remakes [0] are engine-only and you still need the graphics, arts, sound, and music assets to make it a 100%, and actual playable experience. OpenTTD started like that too but from the very beginning it was a goal to "detach" the game from the original as quickly as possible. It was released in 2004, the actual graphics replace…

But the original soundtrack is still a banger.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

An impressing feat, considering it was written in assembly.

I don’t understand (or maybe I’m just too used to online sarcasm) are you calling BS on this claim? Or is it actually possible.

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!

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.

Windows Solitaire had this two. If you kept dealing without playing, once you'd spent over $32,768, you'd instantly be in the positive nearly that much.
