The iconic 1994 strategy game Transport Tycoon is back. Created by Chris Sawyer and is a game renowned for its impressive economic simulation during its time. Atari has now made it available on Steam & GOG.
The game set the standard for transport and economic simulation games with its deep gameplay systems, detailed pixel graphics, subtle animations and extensive configuration options.
It was that game that made MS-DOS gamers take the "Tycoon" name very seriously.
In Transport Tycoon, players take control of a transport company as the world’s economy reels from a depression. From these challenging beginnings, they must build a transport empire using trains, ships, trucks, planes and helicopters. As their empire expands, players can leverage technological advances to move more passengers and cargo while competing against computer-controlled rivals.
The original Transport Tycoon DOS version was released in 1994, with ports later arriving on Mac, PlayStation and SEGA Saturn. In 1995, Transport Tycoon Deluxe expanded the experience with new landscapes, weather, vehicles and scenarios, while also extending the historical timeline - allowing players to guide their transport empires for an additional 20 years, from 1950 to 2050.
ATARI acquired the franchise in 2024 and is now bringing it back for PC gamers via Steam and GOG, and it's now available for Steam and GOG for $9.99.
