OpenTTD is a true clone of TTD, 'recreated' in C. It shares the basic gameplay with TTD therefore but the gameplay has been expanded ever since it was created. Because it's been rewritten in C it's much easier to apply new features compared to TTDPatch. Some features already available in TTDPatch haven't made it to OpenTTD yet though. Iinstead other features that probably will never appear in TTDPatch have been succesfully added to OpenTTD.
