The Zone

Remember Transport Tycoon (and its following Deluxe version)? It was a good DOS game back in those days. It was a digital replacement for guys who couldn't afford minature railroad models - or trucks, planes, and ships for that matter.

However, that only ran on DOS.  It's Windows successor, Locomotion, didn't fare too well as compared with its popular predecesscor.  Locomotion also used the Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 and 2 graphics engine - which was a far cry from Transport Tycoon's engine. So what's a Transport Tycoon lover to do in the Windows age?

Thanks to the miracle of Open Source, there's now Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe, which can take your DOS game graphics and port it over to run on Windows (even Vista)! 

You can get OTTD from here (3MB Zip file). Just make sure you have your DOS game as it needs the graphics.  OTTD comes with further enhancements like supporting RM currency:

There're also a host of other features you wished the DOS game had.  Now, you can get it all, in your glorious spanking widescreen Windows LCD screen too.

If you have 64-bit Windows XP or Vista, you can get the 64-bit version here.

If you have Linux or Mac OS (even Classic supported), you can also get their versions from here. There are also Handheld versions for Pocket PC (now known as Windows Mobile), but you can always search the Web for that.
