OpenTTD can be downloaded from the official OpenTTD website.

Both ‘stable' and ‘nightly' versions are available for download:

• most people should choose the ‘stable' version, as this has been more extensively tested

1.3.1) Legacy support

Platforms, languages and compilers change.We'll keep support going on old platforms as long as someone is interested in supporting them, except where it means the project can't move forward to keep up with language and compiler features.
