OpenTTD Portable 1.2.1 has been released. OpenTTD is an urban planning and simulation game in which the player aims to earn money through shipping of cargo by land, water, and air. It's packaged in PortableApps.com Format so it can easily integrate with the PortableApps.com Platform. And it's open source and completely free.

OpenTTD Portable is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. It supports upgrades by installing right over an existing copy, preserving all settings. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.

Features
OpenTTD is an open source simulation game based upon the popular Microprose game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe", written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features.

OpenTTD is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.0. For more information, see the file COPYING included with every release and source download of the game.

Lots of effort has been put into making OpenTTD easy to use. These include:

- autoscroll when the mouse is near the edge of the screen/window
- sell whole train by dragging it to the dynamite trashcan
- cost estimation with the 'shift' key
- advanced options configuration window, change settings from within the game

Graphical/interface features:
- screenshots can be in BMP, PNG or PCX format (select in game options menu)
- more currencies (including Euro introduction in 2002)
- extra viewports to view more parts of the game world at the same time
- resolution and refresh rate selection for fullscreen mode
- colourful newspaper after a certain date
- colour coded vehicle profits
- game speed increase (through fast forward button or by pressing the TAB key)
- snappy and sticky windows that always stay on top and neatly align themselves to other windows
- more hotkeys for even less mouse-clicking
- support for 32 bit graphics
- support for right-to-left languages
- support for other (sized) fonts where the user interface scales based on the font and translation

Posting a full list would be futile as it would mean updating this page almost daily, and even then some things might be forgotten. Play with the game to experience all the features yourself, or take a look at the Wiki for a more thorough listing and explanation of the features and possibilities available.
