MorphOS: OpenTTD 0.5.2 (final)
OpenTTD is an open-source clone of the well-known PC strategy game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe" from the 90's with many extensions - a network mode, individual graphic sets and adaptations to more than two dozen languages, among other things.
In version 0.5.2 (final), some errors were corrected again, so "NewGRF's" (graphic and function extension sets) can now simply be copied to the "data/" directory and activated or deactivated using the NewGRF settings inside the program - changing the configuration file OpenTTD.cfg manually is no longer necessary.
