Game developers 31X and Origin8 have announced that their popular app Transport Tycoon is now also available as a free lite version, Transport Tycoon Lite. Transport Tycoon Lite allows potential transportation entrepreneurs to take part in three tutorials along with additional scenarios which all feature the same simulations and challenges as the full game.  If players chose that they want to have access the full version of Transport Tycoon, they can download it for $6.99. In addition, the official player’s guide is available for free and features basic gameplay information, advice and tips which can be useful to new and experienced players. We’ve covered the full version pretty extensively and for first time players, feel free to check out our post here to get a better idea on the game.

Features:

• Three step-by-step tutorials teach the basics of moving cargo and passengers.
• Four massive scenarios with different vehicle technology and scenery in each.
• Dozens of vehicles to buy and manage, from buses, trucks and trains to trams, ships and planes.
• A detailed simulation with changing seasons, rival companies and working industries, farms and towns.
• An all-new touch interface that gives you total freedom to build whatever you want.

“We’d always intended to release a Lite version of Transport Tycoon as we know it’s far and away the best game of its ilk on any platform, and this is a prime opportunity for fans – both old and new – to explore the Transport Tycoon world and the huge variety of scenarios available,” says Chris Sawyer. “It’s just a taste of a rich cake, so I hope they come back for another slice.”
