There is also a Fan Sequel of sorts, called Simutrans, but it's an indie game only Inspired by… and not related or legally connected to the Transport Tycoon series. TTDPatch was maintained in parallel for some time, however OpenTTD eventually surpassed it in nearly every way, and the majority of the huge library of plugins and add-ons only works with OpenTTD. OpenTTD is free/open source, and works on a wide variety of operating systems. The replacement code was completed in 2004, and an effort begun to replace the art and music, which finished in 2010. Eventually TTDPatch grew much larger than the original game, so some developers decided to replace the remaining bits, allowing the now much-more-elaborate game to be played by anyone. It supported a plug-in architecture, so users could download add-ons they were interested in. Originally a set of patches called TTDPatch, it was created to allow enthusiasts to include other vehicles, especially historical trains and the like, and eventually grew to add all sorts of features.

The Fan Remake, OpenTTD, is derived from Transport Tycoon Deluxe. The Deluxe version introduced uni-directional signals, that only allow a train to pass in a single direction. The original Transport Tycoon allows only bi-directional signals, which allow trains to pass in either direction. The primary difference between the games is how signals operate. It contains numerous bugfixes and gameplay improvements, including new transport modes and UI.

Transport Tycoon Deluxe is an updated version. An expansion pack for the original game, named Transport Tycoon World Editor, was also released in 1995, which featured a scenario editor (which was eventually included in Deluxe) and a "Martian" set of graphics. The two games in the series are Transport Tycoon (released in 1994 and now referred to as Original) and Transport Tycoon Deluxe (released in 1995).

Transport is provided in all four major modes air, rail, road and water, though the most profit tends to come from rail and then air. The apparent object of the games is to end up with a monopoly of transport services for a usually randomly generated map. Transport Tycoon is a pair of business management simulation games created by legendary Scottish game developer Chris Sawyer (of RollerCoaster Tycoon and MicroProse fame).
