message: I notice that the screenshot has been replaced with OpenTTD's icon.  Other games have a screenshot in that place, so I think this should be reconsidered. bruce89 15:51, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Icon instead of screenshot 

message: As someone disputed that the game takes 25h in realtime for 100year of gametime, I just ran 0.5.3 for about an hour and I got 4 game years while that. So the current gametime/realtime ratio mentioned in the article seems to me to be correct. -- JanCK (talk) 16:30, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Off the record, 6th March, 2004.  That wiki page includes a link to the forum post that first introduced OpenTTD to the world at large.  Unfortunately, there's nothing there that can be cited as a reliable source for Wikipedia. Brian Ronald, posting from 88.212.182.52 (talk) 13:28, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: That's very noble, but could you add citations to allow the article to meet notability so it does not get deleted? --tgheretford (talk) 18:48, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Can anyone find some reliable third party sources to meet the concerns of the prod added by an editor, before it is dragged to articles for deletion? I'm struggling to find anything myself, and at the moment, I can see why the concerns of this article not meeting notablility are valid, particularly as when I contribute, I tend to always make sure there is at least one citation for everything I add. --tgheretford (talk) 18:45, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe CVE or any of the institutes it links to in the advisitories can be seen as reliable sources. One can also find similar pages referencing OpenTTD like: us-cert.gov. Google's Scholar search can also be used to find reliable sources. Full Circle Magazine is an independent magazine, though I'm not sure whether it's "notable". OpenTTD being in large distributions like Debian/Ubuntu might also make it notable. OpenTTD has also been on one of the DVDs of Linux Format, according to the website "UK's best-selling Linux magazine". I hope any of these are useable to prove notability. 130.89.55.67 (talk) 13:42, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sources? 

message: Version by Fish utilized extension-masked MIDIs, so if a user specifies a folder of DOS TTD, music will not be present in the resulting OpenTTD installation.
Two DOS versions of TTD exist, one is identified as "German" and has a broken sprite in "toy" landscape 
OpenTTD uses NSIS with "package downloader" system, which suffers from antivirus timeout bug (for example, with Kaspersky Anti-Virus) - the antivirus checking time takes longer than the NSIS download timeout.

thread_title:  Side notes about original TTD graphics and music 

message: Apologies for the revert, User:Lord Aro. Personally I'm not fussed whether the article uses 'favorite' or 'favourite', etc. I'm far from familiar with the game but I now note that the original inspiration was designed by the Scot Chris Sawyer. Once broad consensus is obvious (what do other editors think?) then it would probably be worth placing an appropriate template on this page for future reference. --trevj (talk) 15:33, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

message: it isnt a new thing in openttd. it was in the original as well but openttd might have improved it. the article shouldnt suggest that multiplayer is a new element but rather that it is improved.84.208.60.156 (talk) 22:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

message: I agree with user Solbu. The various versions listing should be removed and should be summarized which only includes important bits. I'll edit it in a week, if anyone has any question please ask it here. Or better edit it. --Curiousengi (talk) 09:31, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
