transportation simulator

## NAME

simutrans - transportation simulator

## SYNOPSIS

**simutrans** \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **simutrans** command.

**simutrans** is a freeware transportation simulator that runs under Windows, Linux, and a few other operating systems (Mac with Intel processors, BEOS).

You take on the role of operating a transportation company, and your goal is to get goods of various kinds, as well as passengers and mail, from one place to the next.

Don't be fooled by the tile-based graphics - this is a very complex game, and it is constantly evolving, with new features being added. It is a living game, and consistently being made better and better.
