Yeah same here.

It has the competitiveness of games like Civ, The Settlers and so on. But with the world building aspects of games like Sim City.

There aren’t many other games that strike this balance as well.

I first started playing the original DOS game in the 90s and I honestly think OpenTTD looks and plays just as well now a the original did 30+ years ago. The level of detail in the pixel art is ideal for the type of game it is.
