You need to buy the original version of the game, in order to be able to play. It is available in gog.com for $5.99. The provided link includes all the information you may need.
I did not play it yet, but the game looks nice. I am going to include it in my TODO list.
The full game has a more interesting survival-mode where you need to gather resources for building blocks and tools. At night creepy monsters appear and try to kill you, so you'd better build a shelter before dusk. Once this shelter is reasonably secured, you may want to build something bigger like a castle or whatever you can think of.
hehe Ancient its not time to be there yet :D i usually don't hang out on irc and i think it will be a little empty.... so i'm not sure if we should go for IRC or if something else is better....
Lots of fun, and lots of things to do, but not overly challenging. Once you have airports up, you can just sit back and watch the money roll in... The AI isn't very challenging either, if you really want OpenTTD to challenge you, you have to impose restrictions on yourself like "Only use railroads" or "Only produce and transport goods".
Understand that this for the most part is a hardcore RTS. You need to be very quick and make complex decisions understanding every aspect of the situation and your capabilities while predicting the enemy's actions. This is like games such as starcraft. Don't play it expecting it to be casual at all.
Note: Recent proliferation of '8v8DSD' games are much slower paced and more forgiving, but they are also not all that entertaining
I didn't even know this was available on linux. I used to play it when it was a just a flash game and then when they made it in to a windows executable.
Very fun. Worth every cent I payed for it.
Easy for casual players to pick up and play and for intermediate-hardcore gamers to play competitively to try and make the tallest stable structure with the leftover goo from all the levels.
19:58:38Superuser hey there, do you guys add web games?
19:59:21Superuser Lichess, the free and open source, the most comprehensively-featured chess website, brimming with HTML5-ness and modern web goodness, with no ads (ever), recently had a new release! Check it out at lichess.org
11:42:02Curly Brace Hi, Superuser. No, web based games are not added (with only few exceptions, like Quake Live). However, there was a separate forum thread for HTML5 games, you can leave interesting links there

Any chance having the IRC
Any chance having the IRC chat a bit more integrated, like GameJolt for example? I am getting lonely being the only person in the room :(

Still an awesome game though :)

Yes, we all hate installing proprietary software, but is this really a reason to give a game 1/10, huh ?
