Simutrans is a landscaping, citybuilding, transport and economical simulation game. There are versions for Linux and DOS/Windows available. Simutrans has not yet reached production state, but it is quite possible to build big transport networks between the industries and cities.

The player can create bus and rail connections and transport passangers, mail and goods in and between cities and industries. Even passneger ferries are in the game. Goods are produced by industries from raw materials, sometimes over many steps of intermediate products. I.e. coal and iron ore are needed to produce steel in a steel mill. Oil may be transformed to plastics in a refinery. Plastics and steel are used to build cars by the car industry. Finally the cars are sold in the cities. Now they need gas to run, which also will be produced at the refinery.

All goods need to be transported. This is the players task. Transport the goods and let the industry live up. But be careful not to destroy your environments.

Simutrans is developed by me (Hansjörg Malthaner) in my free time as a non-commercial project. There are no warranties. You can get it free of charge from my download page. You may make as many copies as you like. You may distribute the copies for free, but may not charge for them.
Simutrans or any parts of it may not be used in any ways in another commercial or non commercial project without written permission of the author (Hansjörg Malthaner).

Below you can see some screenshots of Simutrans. There's also a screenshot of the forthcoming winter szenario available.

The next screenshot shows some traffic links between two cities. A little railroad connection between Pollingchester and Hillville, with two small trains traveling between the cities. Some bus stops can be seen. The busses carry passengers from the various bus stops in the cities to the railway stations.

Simutrans has its own window management, since it has to run on such different platforms as linux and DOS. The next screenshot shows some information windows and the relief map which is used to navigate easiely from one side of the world to the other. The relief map gives also a global view of the world of simu, which is actually an isolated island.

Some of the information windows are also used to interact with the program, i.e. to change the schedule of a train or to change your vehicles colors, the language settings, the display settings etc.
