city and transport games

Do you play city simulation or transport simulation games?

I tried to play lincity-ng, but it doesn't look mature.
Maybe it's just because I have trouble with this interface.
The best game of this type I played in Linux was Railroad Tycoon 2 (I finished it!), but it is not open source.

What do you like to play?

Have you tried to start such game under Wine? For example Railroad Tycoon 3 or Transport Giant?

There's openttd - you need Transport Tycoon datafiles for it to work though.

There's also simutrans, which works in Linux.

I know the titles, but I want opinion of players.

I myself have spent lots of time playing Railroad Tycoon, Transport Tycoon Deluxe, as well as Simcity and other games from Maxis (Simfarm, Simant, Simcopter etc.) in the old times. Not anymore.

So do you think that new games of this type are not playable enough? Or you just lost interest in games?

I'm not much of a gamer anymore. I don't know much about modern games of this type, but I doubt they're very much different from the old ones. After all, what else can you add? Nicer graphics?

OpenTTD is nice

Yeah, I like openttd too. Extremely addictive.
